Ok, so I am always telling my clients how to display their portraits that I thought you might want a glimpse into how I decorate with images in my own home.
Let's begin with the boys.
After almost 6 years in our house, I have decorated (ok, painted) every room in my house except 2- the laundry room, and my kids' room. So it was time to finally give their room a bit of personality, and Labor Day weekend, we tackled a few overdue projects. First, with the help of my 8 year old, I painted the room a pale blue-gray. Then my oh-so-handy hubby cut and hung a few shelves for their ever growing "stuff" collection. Looking at the vast blank wallspace between the two top shelves, I immediately envisioned a big old print of the two kiddos there. So, again with the neverending help of my 8 year old, we chose the perfect photo- one from our beach trip this past summer.
I chose to do a mounted 16x20 and set it in a glassless frame which was just collecting dust in my office. After a coat of blue paint, voila! The very first art piece for the boys!
Stay tuned for more of my "gallery style" (if I ever finish any of them!)
