ducks in a row

i have to say there is a large part of me that loves symmetry and order. it is comforting and clean.

as hard as i try to fly by my seat, let things fall into place, or toss something here or there it does not come naturally. i do like my ducks in a row.

does that make me square?! i sure hope not.

i think this works especially well when you have a themed group of artwork all from the same family, the same size and have the same frame.

at one point i considered devising a plan to put two twin beds in our spare room...

but then i realized that was quite unrealistic as that room serves as the laundry room, the craft room, the sit in front of 4 computer screens for long hours room, the tear out magazine pages and lay them all over the floor room, the shut the door and pretend it isn't a disaster room, the put all the furniture you don't love in it and hope it works room, the pets room (yes, we have a fish), the out of season storage room, and last, but not least, the guest room.

we opted for a daybed with a trundle that tutu had instead, which is a much more space friendly option, but doesn't offer the symmetry and balance that is so harmonious with two identical twin beds.
