I've always admired stairwell photo galleries in other peoples homes. I am not a decorator in any sense of the word, but I did want to try this technique up the stairs to the girls' rooms. Because our home is a Cape Cod style, the angles are kind of funny and our ceilings are not that high, so I've had a difficult time finding art that looked right on the walls. I've seen numerous articles on stairwell galleries and think it fits with the homey feel of our house. So here's what I did:
1. I decided on what I wanted to display--I chose pictures of me & the girls
2. I did a quick layout using Paint (obviously not to scale :)
3. I taped paper on the wall in the desired location in the size I wanted for the pics
4. Once the pics were in, I used picture hangers to hang the pics
(I did have to adjust my original design--I didn't take in to consideration the frame size)
I think it turned out really nice & I'm glad I did it--although, it may not be "correct" in the design sense of the word, I'm happy with it :) This morning the girls are being their usual cute selves. Jessica's new habit is carrying 2 cups (her snack cup & water cup) while also carrying her MoMo with her...sometimes she even adds piglet to the mix--it's funny to see her with so much in her arms, silly little girl!
Little Ella is in her usual spot, the bouncy seat. I might add I got this thing at a consignment sale for $8 and wow have I gotten my money's worth out of this one. She just loves it and has started grabbing the little animals that hang down near her hands.
That's all for this Tuesday. We are heading down to the playroom to listen to Jessica's music (her colors CD--oh, how I love my little red wagon, etc.....I can hear it in my head!) Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
