Greening it up a little...

When I saw this banner here I knew I needed one of my own. It was really simple and I love it...




I just switched out my subway art .. found it here I also found a really fun website that gives you leprechaun names and I wrote them on the chalk board. My kids think this is so silly and they are having fun calling each other by these names.

I think I need more green?!!!

A thrift store find....

I have been looking for book storage for my sons room for awhile. I just didn't love anything.. until today!! I stopped by this little thrift store and spotted this beauty in the corner. It holds records and the lady seemed a little shocked that I wanted it so bad - guess she didn't see my vision lol!! I thought about spray painting it but my son loves to read and this thing will get a lot of use so I decided to leave it the way it was. It may just be one of my favorite finds....

A family gallery wall ...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE frames... it's really more of an addiction!! I see one and dream of it spray painted and have to have it. I try to fight the urge - but the frame always win! My husband may have noticed the abundance of frames and told me that I need to find away to use some of them before I buy more. I humor him and let him think I listen when he gives me HELPFUL suggestions - but I was totally going to use them DUH!!! :) So thus we created the FAMILY gallery wall... its a great way for our kids to remember some of our family that we don't get to see very much.




Our hallway is super narrow - and that makes it hard to get a shot of the whole wall.


Here are some of my favs... I threw in some older pictures too like this one of me and my brother when we were little. LOVE IT!!


The picture on the top right is of me and my brother and sister with my Grandpa ( my most favorite person on this planet ) he passed away about a month ago and I had these old pictures of us blown up and enhanced as a gift to my brother, sister and dad!!! I smile every time I walk by it - It is good to have such a sweet reminder of how important family is!!!

I love fabric banners...

I made one of these a while ago for my daughters room but it needed an update.. so I thought while I was doing that I could make one for my sons room too!! Once I started I just couldn't stop - they are THAT fun!!




p.s I buy the fabric squares at Walmart for $1.00 a piece - super easy and cheap!!!
