Memory Hall

Happy Monday, I am so behind on my projects to post. It's catch up day! This was my project for One Month to Win It Week 1 - Preserving a Memory. I was so excited to be chosen as a contestant for Season 3 of OMTWI. When I heard that the theme was "Preserving a Memory", my first thought was a memory, just one?? How can I choose just one memory? So, I decided why choose one, how about 10.

So, I give you my Memory Hall. My favorite moments of all time. No boring portraits or fake smiles here, all of the pictures I chose are real moments that represent something to me. I can't think of a better way to give life to the hall in our home. I love the colorful frames on the grey wall.

How I did it:

I started by painting our hall Slate Grey. So much better than a boring white hallway already!

I added a chair rail, painted it white and hung it at eye level.

I collected different sized frames (super cheap from Good Will) and primed them with white
primer. I used the spray paint for plastic because I think the paint sticks better.

Then I painted the frames bright colors.

Printed out my "Favorite Memories" in black and white. This was the hardest part because I had to pick only ten pictures with a good mix, naturally I wanted them all of my babies!

Then I hung the pictures to the wall, with the bottoms resting on the chair rail.

(lovely camoflauged a/c controler?)

I love the way it turned out, now I am reminded of my favorite moments everyday like...

Finn's First Waves, Our First Dance, and Clyde's First Breath

So excited and honored to be moving on to Round 2! Week 2 projects were posted this morning so go VOTE here!

Love to hear what you think!
