Wow!  This has been a project in the making since last summer!  The photos have been lining the floor of the playroom for far too long……It has actually become a family joke!  It has not been a  difficult project, just very time consuming.

Yes my kids are 16 and 14 !  AND yes I still have make them visit Santa each year for a photo.  My son’s first Christmas photo was in Atlanta at Phipps Plaza.  Every year after that it was at Mitchell’s Photography in Greenville, SC.  He has used the same Santa up until the last 2 years due to failing health.  🙁  There has never been a mention of “Is there a Santa Claus?” in our house.  I think they are afraid if they mention it….then they won't get the Santa loot!

The photos have become so many over the years that I only displayed them at Christmas.  Trying to find a spot for each one was crazy!  I came up with the idea of a gallery wall for them.  I didn’t want Christmas year around downstairs, but I had the perfect spot in an upstairs hallway off the laundry room and bonus room.

This project has so many mini projects within that I am going to divide it into several posts so be sure to subscribe so you won’t miss any of it!

IMG_2329

 

This is a hallway with no natural light.  I really struggled with my regular point and shoot to get the full wall in the shot.  I ended up using my IPhone 5 for these pictures.  It is a hallway so there is no way to get a nice straight on shot….all are on angles.

I have requested demanded that they sit with Santa through high school.  Mitchell tells me that he does have college kids that still come for their moms so I have this hidden secret desire for more!!!!!

IMG_2307

Now that this wall is complete the other wall looks kind of sad and mismatched.  I’m sure it will be getting a makeover very soon!

IMG_2318

The frames were all mismatched in different gold tones throughout the years.  They were all unified with an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint treatment. 

IMG_2320

 

I kept checking Hobby Lobby sales for when the frames would go on sale for 1/2 price.  I picked up 4 frames.  Two of them are on either side of the chalkboard.  Do you wonder why the scrapbook paper is in these???  We have 4 more years left and I wanted the gallery wall in place.  The scrapbook paper acts as a placeholder until the photo is completed for that year.  The paper was left over from my Christmas Angels Rejoice banner.  This idea would also work great if you wanted to do a gallery wall of school pictures.  You could use scrapbook paper and pintables to act as placeholders through the years!

IMG_2199

 

The letters represent my children’s names, Woods and Ashlyn.

IMG_2286

 

The wall shelves are from Goodwill at $2 a piece.

IMG_2332

 

Framed print stored in attic turned into a chalkboard

Here is a before:  The planning phase

Feb 26 160

 

Before there was a large framed print from my 16 year old’s nursery hanging of a group of Victorian looking children playing Tug-of-War.  On the right wall are black and white canvas wrapped prints.

Feb 26 163

 This print has just been filling space with original plans of changing out the mat color.  Eight years later…..still the same mat.

Feb 26 162

 

I have really enjoyed the gallery wrapped canvases.  There is a link in the sidebar to order your own!

IMG_1907

 

Here is a the layout of the gallery wall.  Laying it out on the floor like this allows you the flexibility of changing the arrangement around to fit.   It sat like this on the bonus room floor for 3 weeks before I was able to start painting the frames.

Update:  Painting the frames tutorial with ASCP is here.

There will be several blog posts for this gallery wall.  Please subscribe for upcoming posts on:

    Christy, I LOVE this! Such a pretty display of great memories. I bet you smile every time you walk by it! I have to admit that I have missed quite a few years of Santa visits with my kids (bad mom!) and am regretting it now!!!
    Hope you have a great week!

    I love this idea. And the color’s you chose for the frames. But the Santa thing…My sister & I still did it together when our kids were in school. We would give them to our mom. After she passed 3 years ago, my husband found a picture of me and Santa when I was in high school. He has it on his desk. Great home & family.

    I love the gallery wall, Christy. I think it’s a great idea to round up all of the Santa photos in one place. What a memory maker for your whole family! My daughter is 34 and I still tell her to this very day, “When you stop believing in Santa, he stops coming.” She doesn’t dare question his existence! lol

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
