Another one checked off the list! This has been completed for months now. I just have neglected to actually take some pictures and post them. I got this idea from my friend Kristen at work, and I LOVE it. We had a huge blank wall just off our living room, and I didn't like the lame photo arrangement that was there before. It needed some life. So, I painstakingly hand painted this tree, which took a few weekends of having the ladder and paint in our hallway! I got the knobs at either Anthropologie or Hobby Lobby (two of my most favorite stores in the universe) and the frames came from wherever I could find them. Most of the photos are of Greyson, but I'm sure that will change as our family grows. I just love this wall now. It is so much fun, and everyone who comes to our home loves it too. Definitely a great use of the space.
The whole thing:
And just to give you a size reference, most of those are 8x10's. The bigger one of the 3 of us is an 11x14. So the wall is fairly big.
And my favorite details:
Those knobs make me happy :)
And, in case you were wondering what the boy looks like these days, here is a fun shot of him today before some pool time:
