The kids bring home all kinds of art work from school and church. Plus they make things at home all the time. These lovely drawings and such tend to decorate the whole kitchen, starting with the fridge and ending with the floor. I love all the things they make and I would love to keep every single one of them (well most of them), but there is no way that is going to happen. I hate clutter (thought I still have some, let's be honest) and I can't keep all these little masterpieces,so.....The ART WALL was born. Basically I organized these works of art. I had a huge blank wall needing some lovin' in the kitchen. A sad wall + a border + some amazing pictures = ART WALL.
Here it is:
We keep adding to it until the wall is full, then we take a picture of it (our way of saving it all forever). The kids aren't too sad when we throw most, if not all of it away since we took a picture of all of it. We do occasionally keep a special one here and there. Then as the new pictures and drawings come in the house...up..up...up they go, onto the art wall. And a new wall decoration begins. In my old house, I had this same idea, but without a border and it was okay, but kinda chaotic. This border helps keep things looking nice and neat. Organization is what I'm all about baby.
Do you have an art-wall of your own?
