My sister lives 7 hours away, but we’re slowly but surely making progress on her living room. A couple of weeks ago, we came up the the bright idea to do some “Skype decorating”and I thought you would enjoy the funny process. It basically consisted of me yelling things like “Move that to the right! No, no, I mean left! Now, move it down! Oh no, that doesn’t look right at all. Take it down and let’s try something else!”
Our goal was to make this gallery wall above her piano look better by beefing it up a little, working only with frames she already had. Here’s how it looked when we started (and that’s my sweet nephew, who also likes to Skype):
And, here’s the start of our Skype session–and the scary part. Yes, you will see me with no make up and my hair in a towel. One of the luxuries of working from home, I guess. . . .
We started by hanging her biggest print first.
That is too funny! Never heard of Skype decorating but it seemed to work!
And to think, when I watched the Jetsons as a kid, I didn’t think it would ever really happen! I love that the “M” is in a place of honor. I love me an initial.
Your post totally made my day, thanks!! “Skype decorating” should be added to the dictionary ha ha!! Your sister’s gallery wall really went to crooked and drab to sleek and fab! Great work (on both sides of the web cam)!
Happy Monday!

Skype decorating…I think you have actually discovered something new!! Funny opening line on the post, and I have to say I actually did feel a bit dizzy looking at the first image, having just woken up a bit ago!! Great job! Janell

Ha! I love this use of technology!
That is too funny! It looks great.
How cool is that? And the added bonus is that we got to see your hair in a towel :). The wall looks great! Cute post.

Sisters are awesome! The wall looks great!
I don’t skype but I think I might have to start. My friends live all over the world – could be fun.
The gallery wall looks great, Emily and you are so brave to post your morning look for all us! Nice to have the support of all of your helpers, too! :)
You’re so cool! The wall looks great, did she use tape to hang the photos?
This is friggin hysterical and SUCH a great idea!!

That’s a great idea and I will have to try it with my sister who also lives too far away. The wall looks great!
HEE HAW…that was so funny! Loved it! Especially the “rear end” shot, she will get you back for that!
you’re such a nice, patient sister! i did this with my sis (non-skype) in person. it can be a little tricky if you think too much about it. good job!
looks great…. that was hysterical… thanks for the laugh!
This is so funny, but I think you are actually onto something! I help my sister decorate her place all the time through emails, texting pictures, etc. but I never thought to use Skype! Genius :)
i love this! so great that you guys were able to work together virtually, and the end result is fantastic!
What a fantastic idea, I think you all are on to something – decorating by Skype! And I LOVE that you are wearing your hair in a towel! Oh, and the wall looks fantastic!
This post is adorable!! I love it. I love showing my sister my progress on various projects on skype. So fun!!
this was hilarious AND effective! lucky for you that she was a great student!
