What a Wall

About two years ago when Lisa and I moved into our house we both soon realized we had very few pieces of furniture along with ZERO wall decorations.

I was lucky enough to get passed down some furniture from my parents and inherit their style for the next few years as far as the furniture problem went... however, we still had bare walls.

Fast forward a year, still with our bare walls, except for those frames hanging up with strangers' faces still smiling in them, and a huge space above our couch we were dying to fill. That year, my mom had purchased a great wall decoration that she couldn't decide if she loved or not.  I helped her out tremendously, I LOVED it! I also knew the perfect place to put it. Problem solved!

Some Things are Deceiving

Last week I went to lunch with my friend Sarah to this place called Lu Lu's,  which is a thai noodle shop near my work.

They recently opened a new location which is much more vibrant and open than their old location,  and it also has some unique decorations that I just loved and wanted to share with you. 

Now what do you suppose this is? 

Well yes, I know they are wood stumps.... but they are also wall decorations!!! 

Isn't this great? I thought this was a unique, creative way to fill the walls in the restaurant.  It makes you take a second look and think... "How can I do something like that in my house?" Right? 

Too bad I live in a rental and there is nowhere to do anything like this in my house :( Guess that is why I take all these pictures, so someday I will have something to look back on and figure out fun ways to decorate my future home!
