My family Tree

I have this big wall. You know those big walls that you just aren't sure what to do with? This is the before:
not bad. But not great.
I saw this idea for a vinyl tree:

From a BHG magazine. Loved it.

Painted a tree on my wall:
(free hand...cause i'm wickedly cool like that)

Remember this picture?

That got a place on my family tree.
And some other family pictures as well.

These fames I got at the D.I. for 75 cents each! Exchanged the ballerinas for pictures of my kids. These got a place on my family tree


Love it.


would love it more if my daughter would have put her backpack where it was SUPPOSED TO GO.

holy..it's about at the weirdest angle to get a good picture.

That plant needs to get exchanged for a pretty vase of something....yet to find what I want.

    You did such a great job on that tree! I have a "family" wall where we place pictures of friends and family and this would be perfect. May I ask what color you painted your wall? I've been looking for a color like that, with no success. Thanks!
