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!
