hang ups

with an artistic 10 yr old and 7 yr old in the house we have quite a collection of kids' artwork. i have been storing it in two big tubs that i can stash under the desk. we also hang a rotating exhibition on wires in our hallway...



but i'm in a free-up-the-walls-and-floor-space state-of-mind and looking to purge.

some good tips at simplemom. i am thinking holiday wrapping paper shortage may be solved.

i always liked this idea found at remodelista

what is your solution?

we live here.

we've been looking for quite some time for a work to hang in the kitchen. i had originally planned to enlarge a photograph - but this is a very sunny corner - and the cost of an enlargement coupled with the inevitable fading that would take place, put that idea to rest. when i saw this poster (also available as a screenprint) i knew we had found a perfect fit. (and the price couldn't be beat!) d put together a frame, and we sprung for UV plexi. we will see how it lasts.

the girls love finding home on it. i love that it includes all these neighborhoods that i have recently discovered (after living here 12 years!).

ork posters has a whole series around this concept. fun stuff.

my plan to paint the kitchen myself has also been waylaid. april.

hanging this on our puttied and unpainted wall might be putting the cart before the horse, but we couldn't resist.
