It was a gift, Todd. I’m taking it with me.

I know you know what movie that line was from – right?!  That scene from Wedding Crashers is seriously one of my all time favorites.  What can I say – love me some Vince Vaughn.  Anyhow, you’re probably wondering how is this related to house stuff?  Well, one of the hubs good friends that lives in New Jersey came to visit us the other day.  I had never met him before and had no idea he was such amazing photographer.

He showed us his portfolio of award winning photographs, and I was jaw dropped drooling over them!  Then he said very nonchalantly, “You all are welcome to pick out a few to keep if you’d like.”  If you’d like- are you kidding me – I would LOVE to pick out some of your beautiful photographs to display in our home!  Hence the – “it was a gift” title.

We ended up with 5 of Kevin Skochil’s beautiful photographs, and they’re all just breathtaking.  Two of the five we chose were shot right here in the bluegrass.  I framed one right away; it kind of inspired me to finish the family room.  This one was shot of a road that’s not too far from our house.

I just LOVE it!  It adds such a personal touch- taken by a friend of a beautiful road near our home- perfection.  I found this other picture of a freckled horse face (at a craft store for $6) and knew I wanted to layer them.

So – consider this a sneak peak at our family room reveal to come tomorrow!   I’m so thankful for this gift!  And yes I’m taking it with me!  Wouldn’t you?!
