Picture Wall

I decided in our new home I wouldn't put family photos throughout the entire home  but instead limit them to just one area!

Since we have the space and a large hallways upstairs I found the PERFECT WALL to make my "PICTURE WALL" 

I used a very odd method but it worked out so great I've used it again and always will if need be...

First I laid all pictures on the floor, this was the hardest part...placing them in the correct spot to make a perfect rectangle.  


It took me forever but after about an hour I got it!  As you may tell In the last picture I changed the placement more...

I started with the right side pictures top to bottom, then to continue on and get them exactly how I had them on the floor without the annoying measuring, I used a special tool that was right across the way in my sons room " DESITIN" Diaper rash ointment!  Hmmmmmm, well....it was the closest thing I could find and I just squeezed some out on my finger, put it on the hanging device on the back of the frame and then I stuck the frame up to the wall next to the picture it was next to on the ground, gave it a little push, removed pic away from wall and wherever the desitin was is where I nailed in the nail and so on with ALL PICTURES.  

WHA LA....perfecto and exactly how I wanted it :).

Baseball stitch wall

I originally saw this idea online but I did things a little different then what I read so I thought I'd share my techniques to make this easy and  satisfying :). My first step was to paint the entire wall, basically bc it was a flat paint before and I changed it to eggshell.   Obviously walls vary in size so you will just need to determine how close you want the stitching.   We tied a pencil at the end of a rope and then tacked it in the corner then drew from one side to the other to get the long line.  Make sure u hold the pencil outright and not slanted at all!  Then do the other line in the opposite corner.   I traced the line with a thin paintbrush using a gray paint we had already.  It's ok if the line isn't exactly the same thickness ! If u look close you can see mine varies in thickness.  The best thing I did was make a stencil from a scrap piece of cardboard for the stitching.  And I didn't...

Cheesecake Factory chicken artichoke soup

Image
Went To the cheesecake factory last week during Christmas vacation my favorite restaurant to go eat and I tried a soup that I have never tried before and it was so so so delicious, My mother-in-law and I looked up the recipe on Google to see if we could find a replica of it we found something similar and of course I came home and made it on New Year's Eve night.... One thing that was different about the recipe is I know that there were peas and red peppers instead of green peppers, I also had to add a lot more salt, But I suggest adding a little bit at a time to see your liking. Here is the website or blog that I found it on and a picture of my soup as I was making it http://mrsmonaghan.blogspot.com/2011/03/cheesecake-factory-recipes.html?m=1
