This Is Why We Frame Things


 . . . because it makes them look legit. These are going in the library, in the little bit of wall space left around the book shelves. 


The long-suffering Composer devoted several hours today to that Sanding the Staircase project. Messy? Yes. Even with the stairway encased in plastic, there has been brown dust everywhere.

We're cleaning and cleaning, because . . . Felix and Molly tomorrow!

  3. They look legit, because they ARE legit! They're lovely, Anna -- they will look marvelous in your new library! Here's hoping the rest of the renovation goes smoothly, and that you have a wonderful visit with Felix and Molly.

    Cheers,
    Shannon

    PS -- I've been a reader for, oh, at least nine or ten years (though I rarely comment). I must have been about 17 when I started reading. Your blog has been such a peaceful, inspiring respite throughout that time. Thank you so much for sharing your schoolhouse life with all of us -- the view is indeed pleasant from here!

  5. With the gold, they do look like museum pieces! Did you get cheap frames from the thrift store and paint them all?
