The very first room you walk into in our home is the toy room. It's probably supposed to be a formal living room, but we opted for a toy room. We spend 80% of our indoor time in this one room and we LOVE it-- HOWEVER for a long while it was the only place in the house without anything on the walls and without any family pictures. So... I was super excited when I saw pieces of artwork in frames in the clearance section of Target for $1.75 a piece. A $1.75?!? --- this was a woman-on-a-tight-budget's dream!! I bought 9 pieces of artwork, took out all the artwork (except for one), and replaced them with family photos, paintings of Mark's, and outlines of my children's handprints. It's so fun to look up and see my 2 year old's paintings framed on the wall. And it's a huge joy to hear Mark at random exclaim, "There's Uncle Jon, Momma!" or "Oh.. Oh... there's Grandma!!"
this was the only piece of artwork that I saved-- a good reminder that my kiddos are "originals" perfectly crafted by God :-)
All the colors work perfectly together!! You have such a gift of decorating. It's a pleasure to be there!!!
