New wall art

I am seriously in love with my new DIY wall art.

I have always loved the goofiness of pictures from a photobooth.  So much of my life has been captured in photobooth pictures.  Me as a child with my parents, my VERY awkward teenage years and even the months before Dan and I got married (we used a photobooth strip on our wedding invitation and wedding program).  We’ve even gone a few times with the kids.  Love.

So, with a large empty wall in our living room and feeling tired of the black framed, white matted pictures that adorn almost every other wall in our house,  I came up with the idea to incorporate photobooth-like photos into the decor.  I took the pictures, Dan came up with the idea to mount them and BAM!  Totally original art.

In other news:  The kids are having a blast using their new chalkboard.  Can’t get enough of it.  I can’t promise that it isn’t teaching Wes that it is ok to write on all the walls…but so far we are graffiti free.  So far…
