DIY Wall Edition

Jeremy always makes fun of me because I never throw away frames. Seriously, I have a huge box full of picture frames. Picture frame hoarder...and a yarn hoarder too, but that is another post for another day. I knew I would use those frames and I finally did! A little black spray paint and voila!! We finally have some decorations in our family room! It has been a long time coming.

First we mapped out what we wanted. We changed it a little in the end but this helped us out a lot.

And the end result!! I love that it is full of personal snap shots to remind us of fun times and that we can continue to add to it and change the shape of the pattern as we go.


Next we are painting the kitchen...you wanna help?
