On the day we moved in, daughter Jenn made the comment that our old furniture and stuff made our new house feel old. LOL I like old furniture and stuff! ~I especially like things that have been passed down in the family. It makes a house feel like home, and gives it personality.
One space in need of personality, was the blank wall above my desk. It needed to be something that I could enjoy looking at from day to day,~ something that would bring a smile to my face,~ and all the better if I could use what I already had. After months of living with a blank wall, and discarding one idea after another...
The one purchase...
...vinyl lettering. I have seen vinyl sayings displayed on walls, and thought.."that would be fun to try"...some day.
I located this saying, 'Family..a journey to forever' at Michael's. Perfect for my 4 generations of family photo display! Being in possession of one of their 40% off coupons, that some day to try was now. However, I will say that before trying, I read the directions carefully, and watched video tutorials on how to do it. Then I proceeded very slowly, ---measuring,positioning, and leveling,~ and remeasuring, positioning, and leveling. I found it to be easier than I thought it would be, but I'm glad I watched the video tutorials and proceeded slowly.
I thought the chain ends needed a little something, and this is what I had...
For now it will do. I can always change the photos and play around with it without much effort. Most importantly it personalizes my space, transforming a blah blank wall into a cheerful display.
You are so creative!
