Wall Displays in Our Home

master bedroom collage and shelf placement
I have been inspired by the cold weather to stay inside and decorate my bare walls.  I have had ideas and just got up the motivation this past week.  Our one year anniversary week in our home.

chalk board paint and the initials of streets we lived on

"frame a frame" concept with inspirational words suspended within them connecting the middle art with ribbon coordinating with sofas


This is the third attempt at making the large living room frames more pleasing.  So far I like it the best, but can not guarantee it will stay this way.  I average on changing displays and rooms every three to four months.


I created a framed display in the living room on the back wall as well.  I incorporated my black and white them.  I love the contrast.

My Little Astronauts

My Little Astronauts







I had so many ideas to create for our home when my mother was here-an extra hand with the kids.  She unfortunately ended up in the ED  several times and hospitalized twice.  Needless to say all extra activities were put on hold.  The week was challenging and unproductive.  I was trying to fit in sleep time, much less craft time.  I had posted earlier some ideas for inspiration.  I wanted to to create the black and white wreath.  When I did get to the craft store the wreath was not in stock-although I bought the yarn for a later time.  The Halloween get to together was fun and trick or treating successful.  I ended up with a "Beetle Juice" punch, mice on the stairs, and several arrangements of spiderwebs and rubber spiders and mini pumpkin groupings in our home.  I cleaned the day before while my husband and little girls went to the neighborhood parade.  A good friend of mine helped the morning of the party.  It all came together.  My mom is healing now back at home and has improved greatly.  Now it's November: Thanksgiving prep time and really short days-we set our clocks back tonight.
