Adding Custom Framed Photos to our Family Room

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

March 8, 2021

I realized I don’t really have family photos out on display as much as I used to years ago. Until now!!! I’m so excited to be partnering with JOANN and their new photo service, My Photo to add the cutest gallery wall to our family room. They have all sorts of custom options from wooden frames like I ordered to cute gifts to assorted decorative frames.

glue clay onto mirror

OK, this is a super specific project, but I’m mostly just excited that I pulled it off and it actually looks legit. I made faux capiz shells using oven bake clay and turned them into a mirror. Best part? This will cost you under $20 and is definitely something kids could help with!

How to Make a Budget Wooden Frame

custom wooden frame

I wanted to frame a print I had for our living room gallery wall but everything was SO expensive. I picked up a simple black frame for under $20 and decided to give it an easy budget friendly wooden makeover! Full materials list with links at the end of the post. I’m using 1/8″ basswood from the wood trim aisle at Joann. It’s thin enough to cut with an exacto knife!

painted wall mural

I painted the family room a couple of weeks ago and the white walls made SUCH a difference. They also highlighted the space over the couch and made it seem a little lackluster. I hung this gorgeous mirror there and it helped but the wall needed… something.

geometric wall hanging

This geometric wall hanging cost $5 and looks similar to ones I’ve seen on West Elm or CB2. As with all of my projects, keep in mind that you can use any colors you like to make this wall art best fit your decor!

You know that moment when the kids walk in the hou You know that moment when the kids walk in the house after school and instantly every cabinet and snack container and pantry drawer is wide open? #ad A constant quest in the Smith house is how to take the edge off after school hunger without spoiling their appetite for dinner. I partnered with @greengiant to see whether their line of frozen Veggie Fries® and Veggie Rings® would do the trick and... folks, the kids loved them! Notice that I said v-e-g-g-i-e. That's short for VEGETABLE! In other words, this might be the greatest snack hack of all time. If you're looking for a way to add more vegetables to your life, these easy to prep veggie snacks were given two thumbs up by the Smith kids. (All five of them!) #GreenGiant
I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floo I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floors this week, but then I checked the weather and realized I needed to just... START. I’m SUPER intimidated by this one because it has such a large scope. So many steps. And staring at a garage filled to the BRIM with stuff felt real overwhelming. So a few weeks ago I took my first bite and ordered the stuff to help me organize the space. That helped a lot because for the first time in months I could see the floor. (Which was the thing that needed to be painted.) To start on the floor, I had to move everything out. Not necessarily easy, but it required zero thought. Move the stuff from Point A to Point B. That’s not too hard. Before I can do anything about the paint, I knew I needed to clean the floor. So I swept. And then I blew out the dust. And then I power washed. Was it a lot of work? Sure. But it wasn’t scary work. It wasn’t so intimidating anymore. All of a sudden this really BIG project became something I could manage because I started to experience it as lots of smaller projects. Stay tuned for all the small steps that will make my one big garage project happen! What’s a big project you’re intimidated by but know you need to take on eventually?

Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try my hand at infomercialling by spilling all sorts of gnarly things onto this @cryptonfabric from @joann_stores (soy sauce… ketchup... highlighter… crayon) and then showing you how they magically clean up. (For real… they totally did! 🤯) But then I ALSO got to go thrifting and found a table to transform into an upholstered ottoman. This seat is sturdy enough for the kids to climb all over. It’s durable enough for the kids to climb all over. And it’s chic enough that I’m happy to have it in our family room for the kids to climb all over! I love how this turned out and am always grateful for colorful useful decor that is also practical for our family! Win win win win!! #handmadewithjoann #sponsored
Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our vision for the exterior today in my stories. Doors, painting, lights, corbels... It’s an investment but it’s also going to be such a big improvement! Also note that 2 minutes after I took this picture I fiddled with one of the bricks and now 1/2 of one step has been taken apart so if anyone local knows a mason... looks like we need one. Sharing a fun project with you tomorrow as well as a peek at my next big room makeover! Also feeling like it’s time for a phone upgrade but putting that off for another day because... money. Mondays I tell ya.... wowzas.

I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo aft I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo after our neighborhood egg hunt and I’ve been feeling smug ever since. Arthur wore his fanciest soccer shorts just for the occasion. Not that anyone’s keeping track but the current cupcake count in our house is 41 since two of the kids decided to bake. Breakfast was pixie sticks (thank you Easter bunny) and I’m about to go up and watch more of @hgtv ’s old White Room challenge episodes. That’s a show I’d love to be on!! Hope everyone had a wonderful day and don’t feel like I’m unrelatable now that I got a family photo.
