My Office [or HALF of my office]

The other side of my office is not clean yet so I'll just show off a preview. I love my black framed gallery wall [I have a white one on the other wall] and my expedit makes life much easier and organized.

Every Picture Tells a Story!

I realized the other day I have MAD pictures in our living room. I like being surrounded by pictures... of us, of family, of our pets, of places we've been. I am all about pictures. But for some reason all of them are in my living room. lol I am constantly changing things in our apartment so before I change em again I wanted to take pictures of our pictures lol

Below is our "photo wall". Its the first thing you see when you walk straight into the house. We got all the frames from IKEA, Target & CVS [believe it our not]. We are realllly into black and white so we have black and white frames everywhere lol The photo wall is all pictures I've taken [I'm the photographer in the house] and they are pictures mostly from places we've been together. The middle picture you can't see is one my sister took of us when we moved into our apartment and it says OUR FIRST APARTMENT lol i love it! And the bottom five pictures are of Jose's band Ground to Machine [we actually set up the frames by how they stood on stage!]

This collection of frames is just of our pets :) The loves of our lives! I got these frames at Kohls for like $5 each! And when you walk into our apartment, its right to the right of you so you can't miss em. I'm thinking of moving them though lol
Than the other collection we have is over our [non working] fireplace. On the mantel are just some frames of us and of Hitchcock and Riddle but I'm going to switch out the pictures. Hanging on the wall is pictures of all our family members and the animals. [There are holes because I still need good pictures of my sisters and their families]

And than we have a little bit of "artwork". It was made by Riddle when he was 5 months old for our anniversary from me to Jose :) He loved it. Whenever people come over, they ask what it is and I tell them and they think it's awesome. I actually got this idea from Young House Love and think its genius!! I knew I was going to do it before we even adopted Riddle lol and Riddle is a fucking artist!
