My husband and I are paint-challenged when faced to paint large, high walls say on a stairwell. And since we have been in this house for a little over 6 years, I am kinda tired of seeing a blank wall. (Hubby doesn't mind) So I have been seeing so many cute photo arrangements on Pinterest, I had to create one, well two in this case for both our main stairwell and the one that leads to our finished basement. I bought a vinyl quote from Stampin Up before they retired their Decor Elements line and had it sitting in my craft room waiting till summer vacation when I could use it. Here is the stairwell before:
The quote is one of my favorites from Rose Kennedy:
I thought the best way to display our moments was with collage frames. Plus we already had some on hand that we didn't use from when we moved in and that I received from Christmas so bonus...no extra money spent! (Hubby loves that!)
Here is the end result:
The picture doesn't to the wall justice, and I was standing in our office area to take the picture. I may add one more frame later in the open space above the large frame, but for now it will do.
The other stairwell has a ledge that had all these pictures sitting on it. Drove me crazy and you guessed, hubby not so much. So it went from this:
To this:
A kind of family sports shrine, leading to our St. Louis sports themed man-cave in the basement. One of these days I will have to share pics of the man-cave. That was the only room in the house I let my hubby have complete control over when we moved in. He did a pretty good job too!
