Family Photo Wall
Last year we actually went and had pictures taken in a studio. A big exciting step for me as apposed to my usual set the timer, run like crazy, and be looking perfectly calm and serene 10 seconds later as the picture takes. Don’t get me wrong I have no problem with doing it that way but it was super fun doing it the “real” way for once (gotta love groupon).
Along with family shots I had them take individual shots, and eventually we ended up with lots and lots of pictures, tip buy the CD-totally worth it!
So here is another PPC! (Personal Pinterest Challenge, for those newbies- sooooo happy to have you along, you can read about my other PPC’s here and here)
I made a fun DIY Family Photo Wall! I LOVE it! (Disclaimer: random darkly painted walls (well done but out of style, not digging it…) equals bad photos, I have been wanting to paint….for 2 1/2 years….since I moved in. So much for being on top of it!)
This project was inspired by this pin. You can get the full tutorial over at Shanty2Chic here. I love these girls and their creative ideas, they are always a great read! And… the tutorial was great, so I decided why make a new one?
I used scrap wood from “my free wood off of craigslist stash” and wooden knobs I got at the restore, for like $2 for 8 knobs, I know…awesome!
My original plan was to hang these in the hall with my husband and I in the middle, but that didn’t work out. So in my bedroom they went.
I don’t regret it…there is nothing better than my cute kids smiling at me while I sleep. I love seeing their sweet faces every time I go in my room.
So if you want a cheap and fun way to display your photos this is a cheap easy way to do it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is so awesome! It's perfect to swap out the photos as the kids grow up and not put any new holes in the walls! Smart lady!
