ART



{sorry for the awful reflection, it's driving me nuts}

I had quite a few inquires about the walls that I was standing in front of in this post so I thought I would show you more. The first is a small wall off the kitchen and keeping room that I painted out in chalk board paint, but we have yet to actually draw on it. The art is strung on twine and is changed out constantly. It makes the kiddos feel extra special. The second is made up of old windows that I snagged when my old college apartment building was getting new windows. I simply took 6x6 prints of our favorite pics, scotch taped them on the back, and then used scrapbook dot adhesive to attach them to the backside of the window pane and when I say I, I really mean Kellen. We also change out a window every new season. We like to keep things fresh.

  15. Love the string with artwork. Seriously! What do I do with all of my children's art work? I need to update all of our framed pictures. I love having them around the house, I just run out of room! Great ideas.

  19. Oh my, I LOVE the windows as frames and also LOVE the kids art hung on the twine. I'm going to have to "borrow" that lovely idea for Emerson.

  20. Paula, you are one creative and adorable lady! (Puts me to shame...)

    It is time for me to get a chalk board wall up too - somewhere in the house. My college days are long gone by - but I would have snagged those windows too (without even knowing what to do with them!)

    A warm hug, Mon
