Day 147-150: Wall Art

You know your wall art is classy when you post it on Facebook for free and get crickets -- obviously because your friends are too intimidated to hang such classy artwork on their walls for fear of looking snobbish. Right? That's why, right?

We've got an Ansel Adams poster, a fairy poster (perfect for grown-ups!), abstract art from Target (note the way the fake plastic frame, painted to look like wood, is ripping apart at the seam), and a collage frame that's actually cute except we couldn't figure out how to fit all our friends into one frame, so we just left it empty.

DESTINATION: Goodwill.

about us

Kara is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Glamour, Marie Claire, Penthouse, J-14, Twist, Girls Life, HGTV.com, and on the front pages of Yahoo, MSN, AOL and more. She's also a portrait photographer and mom to two awesome boys. Her favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.

George is a mechanical engineer who's developed everything from designer chairs to space shuttle parts. (I think that's right. Kara is writing this while George is asleep.) He loves home renovations, cars, and UFC. He is the father to the same two awesome boys. He sometimes dumps Tabasco in a can of garbanzo beans and calls it lunch.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
