I think I mentioned that we are just getting around to hanging up some artwork around here (I really should admit, I just convinced my mom to help me hang up some artwork around here).
I commissioned family portraits from our favorite seven-year-old friend, and I think they were a bargain at a quarter a piece. We hung them up in the hallway between the boys' bedrooms.
I bought the frame from Target, and the sizes are odd and they aren't the greatest quality, BUT they have hinges and a magnetic closure so you can open them up and swap out artwork without taking them down, and they have a pocket inside to store extra artwork.The plan was to swap the artwork in these frames out once in a while to showcase whatever the boys have been working on, but I don't know if I will be able to take the family portraits down. How great is this picture of Larry?
And I'm partial to the freckles on mine.
You can just get a glimpse of them when you look across the entryway from the library. They make me so happy and Ollie loves to name the person in each picture. I think they'll be around for a while.
I just showed this post to Laura and it made her day! We love you!
ReplyDeleteI commissioned my niece to paint some pictures for me when she was about that age. Oops! I didn't pay her. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I have a couple family pictures the girls have done that I've scanned and want to hang, but I love the individual portrait idea! What a fun house you have!
