Except, there are several that are not hung up right now, as we need to patch plaster or tear it off and hang new drywall, after insulating properly. Maybe I should just hang them all real high in the entryway, as we have already finished it, for the most part. If only I could find the old trim, so we could strip and repain it. I think it is in the crawlspace under the kitchen, as we did not want the kids to mess with it, but I could be wrong. I know as soon as I decide to buy new trim, as it is very hard to match the old, ornate ones, we will find the old stuff. Old farm houses are so much fun, LOL.mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-75536969328542007162009-09-08T20:08:27.565-04:002009-09-08T20:08:27.565-04:00here's a thought: do not hang them . . . prop ...here's a thought: do not hang them . . . prop them. <br /><br />prop them on the mantle (you have one there already), prop them in a bookcase, even place them on a mini easel which can be placed anywhere . . . the possiblities are endless<br /><br />hammer, nails, levels . . . too much workMaria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-81634540791978687432009-09-08T15:56:58.633-04:002009-09-08T15:56:58.633-04:00Don't feel too bad.

They're in the closet, because I wanted the walls painted before I hung them up. I've hung other stuff up, mind you, but for some reason, in my head, the walls need to be painted before I hang up wedding pictures. Almost six years after we moved in, no, the walls are not painted.
