Hearts

Filed Under: Photography

Trendy Treehouse: Shutter Love’s theme is Hearts this week. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enter this week, but I just edited this photo from Elissa’s maternity session Sunday night. I had to share it since it fit the theme so well. I thought it was so sweet with her and her husbands rings on her thumbs. That was her idea. She will be having her boy or girl {they are waiting to find out when it is born} any day now! I am so excited to find out what they have. All I know is that it will be well loved by it’s two older brothers.

You can hover over the photo to see my SOOC.

    Wow, nice edit and great idea with the rings. Have you thought about having the dad standing behind the wife and having them make a heart together. One side of the heart his hand, the other side of the heart, her hand?

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
