Another addition to the new living room

I finally decided on a way to display some of my underwater photography. ShutterFly let's you configure a series of photos as a wall display.

The photos (12x12) arrived last week. The wall template has not arrived yet and I wanted them closer than in the template anyway so I decide I would hang them on my own. How difficult could it be to hang 6 12x12 photos in two rows of three so that they are perfectly aligned??

REALLY DIFFICULT!!

Living Room Furniture Update

I solved the desk/side table with a piece of furniture I already had. It is my Dad's table from the Philippines. It has turned legs with metal claw toe feet. In my mind it was square but it is actually a small rectangle. It is a bit wobbly but fits perfectly and brings in a piece of history to the room.

Additionally, I've been wanting to put up some of my photos but never felt I really had the wall space. The new furniture has a much lower profile which made the little bit of wall space more apparent (and bare).

My first piece is the Eiffel Tower photo that has such a special effect look. I used Shutterfly to make a photo-on-canvas. It turned out great I think. You can see the piece in the first photo above. Here is a closer look.
