Whew! Today was a long day! I was up early preparing for the carpet people, who didn't end up arriving until 10:30. The carpet installing took a lot longer than they said. The crew was here until about 5:00. Then, James and I scrambled to put our house back together. I had to leave for my "date" (see previous post) and left poor James to finish. I had a great time and I think the guys really hit it off. I really didn't know "B2" before, but he is so cool. I could seriously be good friends with him. He was so cool and we had a lot in common! It's also neat, because he is a news anchor and well-known. I think they really liked each other. :-) After Rebecca and I left, we stood around giggling in the parking lot about whether or not "B" and "B2" liked each other and we saw them leaving the restaurant together.
Then I headed off to Pier 1 where I saw this shelf. I have this bare spot in the living room where our fish tank used to be and I could use somewhere to put some books. I want something that I can prop a nice picture on top of and I'm not sure this will work. You know how rather than hanging pictures, some people prop them on the mantle or on a shelf? It's kind of a trendy look. I want to do that on the top shelf of my shelving unit. Would this work?

I really like that shelf. Would definitely work for displaying pictures.

Posted by: Rachel at April 17, 2005 07:00 PMI prefer to display my pictures on shelves... that's what I've done all over the house! Except for in the hallway, where I've hung a collection of our pictures. I'm a picture fanatic :)
