Pinterest Spectacular

I have recently been introduced to Pinterest.com and I am officially obsessed. I have a few qualms with people mislabeling their posts, which gets them mixed into the wrong categories. If you didn't make it yourself, or it wasn't made by hand... don't put it in the DIY category... put it in products. I guess that's my kind of OCD. I'm sure ill get over it in like.. wait what was I going on about??

This picture doesn't do it justice.

So I saw a post where someone used a curtain rod to hang pictures across a wall. Then later I saw someone doing something with a tree branch. I don't quite remember what they did with the branch, and it might possibly be what I ended up doing... but I just don't remember!! Regardless, I can't take full credit for this DIYer!

I LOVE MY ENTRY WAY!!!!!!

All I did was take a branch that had fallen from my front yard tree, spray-paint it black, hang it on my wall, and tie my picture frames to it using some relatively thin ribbon! VIOLA!!!!
