We've basically had the same decorations on the wall since we moved here, so we thought it was time for a change. In addition to hanging up the Hawaiian hale drawing that Troy had framed for me for Christmas, we changed out all of our other frames that had our own photos in them. We bought new 8x10 and 5x7 pictures, which include some from Australia, some of flowers, and some of our top 10 pictures from the last two years, which are mostly of Seattle.

For the bathroom we have the Volunteer Park water tower with greenery surrounding it. We also have a view of the Olympic Mountains from Hurricane Ridge. We also have some pink tulips from the Tulip Festival, as well as bluebonnets, and a pretty purple daisy we saw in Melbourne.

We put our wedding and engagement photo frame in our bedroom, along with two night time photos: one of Pike Place Market, and one of Seattle from Kerry Park.

In the entry way, we hung up a picture of Mount Rainier from Seward Park (which also happens to be our blog banner).

Our two 5x7's from Australia include the beach bathing boxes in Melbourne, and Bondi Beach in Sydney.

The main addition is a poster we bought in the U-district of the Space Needle. But this isn't just any old picture of the Space Needle. It's a painting that looks almost exactly like the view we had for almost two years from our window. I like it because of that, and because it's a painting print rather than a photograph, so it's different from all the other stuff on the wall.

We had the poster put on a wood board by Museum Quality Framing and picked it up today. They were out of the blue marble wood board we had wanted, so they gave us solid blue instead. I think it looks almost as good.

We still have a wall of CDs in the living room, but we'll probably replace it with a new piece of art or a mirror or something large in the future.

Here are pics of our newly decorated apartment:
