I haven't posted many pictures of my apartment, mostly because all the stuff that I wanted to do to make it feel like "home" hasn't been finished yet! Particularly things like hanging pictures and posters are going to make it feel homey-er than it feels now.

My kitchen has a huge blank wall in it. Since I sit in there quite frequently and stare at said wall, I'm using the wall has a art/picture/photo/postcard gallery. What I have so far is in this picture:





It's hard to tell in the picture, but there are a few nails that the previous resident placed sporadically across the wall - so I put kite string between them and hung these pictures and postcards on binder clips. I think the effect is pretty nifty, but it'll look even cooler if the wall is FULL (I've got more string and nails). SO! Send me nifty stuff! I want to be able to look at the wall and see all YOU nifty people that are part of my life. Anything will be welcome as long as it is small enough to be hung on a string with a binderclip and looking at it won't make me lose my lunch. :-P

And since most of you don't have my new address, here it is!

8059 Somerset St.
Apartment K
Hummelstown, PA
17036

(ps, don't worry if you've sent something to my old address recently, I'm still getting mail there)

In an attempt to actually get moved in and get these boxes out of the way, I'm finally putting pictures up! Well, that was the plan at least. Until I realized I had way toooo many options of how to put these 4 album frames on a 9 foot wall. Here are the album frames:




I cut pieces of newspaper to the size of the frames and then stuck them to the wall to get an idea of what it will look like. I've come up with a variety of ways to hang them, but I can't choose! HELP! Let me know which ones you like, which ones you hate, and which ones you would do a variation on. I'll make sure to post pictures when they are actually hung. :-) (ps, getting Hercules Hooks, so don't worry about studs and the like)

Also, to give you an idea, my (piano) keyboard will be going directly under the frames (probably centered) and on the wall to the left will be a bookshelf with my music on it (once I've actually finished that bookshelf).
Anyway, ON WITH THE SHOW!
