My kids are always creating. Most of the time they are on their own, drawing in the gobs of composition books scattered around the house. But sometimes, when I’m feeling brave, I break out the real supplies: construction paper and paint, glue and markers. While I hate the mess, these projects always become my favorite. So in an effort to personalize our home, I wanted a place to display the kids’ creations. I knew there had to be a more stylish way than just taping them up to the walls and kitchen cabinets!
We have a big wall in our kitchen that was the perfect space. I picked up eight RIBBA frames from IKEA; I love the clean look and you can’t beat the price! I used the newspaper method for the placement.
And after a morning of work, here is the final result:
I love it. It adds so much color to the otherwise neutral area. I love that the boys are so proud to see their pieces on display. I also like that it will be simple to change out the pieces as they grow.
What have you done this week to make your house feel more like home?

Great idea! I might have to try something similar, especially since Grace is really getting into crafting now!

OH I love this! I also love those frames. I just bought one the other day and may have to run to the store to get a million more. You cannot beat that price!

I absolutely love this! I've been trying to do something like this for ages but never seem to get out of the "pinning it to pinterest" stage. 😉
