simple kids art display


happy monday, friends! the playroom is well on its way to completion…or as close to completion as i can get. you guys know me, always new ideas and new tweaks. and all for the better!

if you're a parent you know the one parenting battle we all struggle with = how to organize, archive and display all of that adorable art / schoolwork your kiddos bring home. i'm still working on the organizing and archiving part, but the display issue? solved!

there is a great wall in the playroom that is the perfect spot for a kids art display. however, i didn't want the entire wall to have a cluttered look because the room is in the main living area of the house.

did you know i have an issue with eye-clutter? ok, good. glad we made that pet-peeve clear. ;-)

i looked into all sorts of art display options, but ended up going the simple route - 3 white framed cork boards….


these were found online at ballard designs. purchased with a 15% off coupon. i purchased the small size in a rubbed white finish…




before pinning up that great art work, i added each of the kids first name initials to the upper left corner. i found these at michaels...



used adhesive strips to add those cute letters...

finally, bring on the art / school work!…


not only will the work be admired by mom, but everyone that comes over to visit too. from my 9 year old...



from my 7 year old. can you tell he really likes airplanes?…


and from my 3 year old preschool princess…


love this!…

i love that this display is clean and simple. the white frames allow the art to take center stage. it warms up the playroom a bit more without making it look more overwhelming in here. as it is, the toys are enough to overwhelm the space.

if you're looking for a simple way to display your precious pieces of children's artwork, this is a great solution! if you have a great solution, share it with us!

have a great day!
