My marriage ended eight months in the past, and since then I’ve been slowly updating the framed pictures round our home…
I didn’t immediately take down the pictures of Alex since he’s nonetheless an enormous, essential a part of our lives, after all, and I didn’t need the boys to really feel like all proof of him had instantly disappeared. (And so they nonetheless have pictures of him of their bedrooms, which is able to keep put.) But it surely feels prefer it’s time now, and I’ve slowly been swapping them out.
I hung this photograph of my mother and aunt Lulu dancing. How cute are they?
And this image of the gate to my grandmother’s home, which looks like a deep breath.
And this photograph of the boys at Coney Island, these little faces!
However right here’s my query: Can I additionally hold pictures of mates in our home? Or is that bizarre? (Is it bizarre to even surprise if it’s bizarre?!) I imply, it’s our place, we are able to do no matter we wish, after all, however I really feel hesitant, like will somebody really feel prefer it’s too intimate or overstepping if they arrive over and there they’re in our household gallery wall? One thing about it additionally feels weak.
For instance, I like this photograph of my good friend Kath and her daughter. She invited me over final Christmas, for the reason that boys had been with Alex, and we had the LOVELIEST day making soup and enjoying video games and consuming cookies together with her massive household. I felt very taken care of and I’ll always remember it.
And the way radiant are Jenny and Erin?
This photograph of my good friend Claire on our Paris journey is a favourite.
And I like this snapshot of my and Gemma’s ft after treating ourselves to pedicures.
So, I’m curious: Do you hold framed pictures of mates in your house? Is it a factor or probably not “finished”? I feel I’ll go for it regardless as a result of I really like them.
P.S. Do or don’t: ice in wine, mustaches and wedding ceremony first appears to be like. Plus right here’s our full Brooklyn home tour, in the event you’d prefer to see.
