Pictures are more than decoration. If they mean anything, they test relationships as well as preferences. Getting past differences can open eyes - and hearts.
Locating Beauty The new dwelling feels bare Pictures from the old abode Lean listlessly on baseboards We get to work and Old differences awaken She likes primary colors And their proximity in patterns I see forms first and Meaning in their relationships She prefers lower to my higher In the beginning there is dispute In the end pictures find places Rarely in argued spots Two visions of beauty Yield to a larger desire Our home celebrates difference But even more, commonality Unexpected new beauty That marries what we knew With new love and seeing Charles B.

An interesting view of how loving couples come to compromise over differences in taste. Fortunately, my significant other doesn't even know how to hang paintings and pictures. So, I get to be the dictator of that. In the end though, regardless of how they are put on the wall, it seems like after a while familiarity makes it seem like they were always meant to be that way, regardless of the struggle that may have occurred putting them up. ;-)

My walls look like a concrete wall containing graffiti!!!! If I want to look at something, I hang it somewhere on some wall. I see you have a method................

Love ya!
