Yes, I'm setting a decorating goal for the new year. As emasculating as it might seem to our American sensibilities, I do think this goal is, at its core, at the heart of what it means to be a man; a family man that is. I want to decorate our house with pictures of our family. Large, gleaming, glossy, silly, fun pictures. This revelation came to me while I was thinking about what pictures to put up above our mantel. I suddenly I realized that as a happy and fairly young family, we don't really have that many pictures of our actual family up and around the house. I then saw this post at makingitlovely.com where she hangs this huge and neat looking photo of her daughter in her office. I guess we do have a shelf upstairs that holds memories, but even that is well below eye level and hidden in a strange cornerish part of the upstairs. I want them to be plentiful, larger, and throughout the house. Here are some of my favorite pics from our flickr account.
Sorry for picture overload.
