This wall makes me smile. It's filled with frugal finds and homemade creations.
One of the only things I specifically bought for Grace's big girl room was this print that reads: She Lives Life In Her Own Little Fairytale.
This describes Grace perfectly. My sweet little girl has a brilliant imagination and has happily created her own fairytale.
What's more fitting to display beneath a fairytale print but a frog just waiting for a kiss to be transformed into a prince.
Fluttering around, beautiful pink stained glass butterflies made by Grace's grandpa (my talented father in-law).
In case she ever forgets her name, she has this wood GRACE plaque, again made by her grandpa.
Also, included in the gallery wall, ornate frames collected from Goodwill. Each frame cost no more than $1.99. I'd love suggestions for what to display in the smaller white frames, with the pink centers.
On the shelf, button artwork made by Grace herself and a Lalaloospy peacock.
This gallery wall is proudly displayed, just over her new big girl bed.
I should mention, in the fairytale Grace lives in, I feel like Cinderella...I'm off to clean her room so I can finally show off pictures of her transformed big girl room in entirety.
bahaha that sounds like me and cor's room! hmm maybe you can let the little frames be display for revolving little trinkets that she luvs and collects at the moment. are they cork board or pinnable in any way? our frames have gotten OUTRAGEOUS at our GW. yesterday I went and dropped off donations (only time I allow myself to shop anymore so I don't get run over with junk) and they had an awesome frame with a poster type print in it and it was $200! i'm not lying it was twice as expensive as what I would have paid for a new custom frame!
ReplyDeleteOH! have her dress up in princess dresses, tiaras etc and have a day of photos and display the two ones u like the most - u might already have some!
DeleteI can''t imagine that room looking bad EVER !!!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous - really !!!
XOXO
Oh how truly beautiful! What a lovely fairytale room for a lovely fairytale girl:)
ReplyDeleteFor the tiny frames, how about either tiny flowers or more critters?
You did am amazing job. Maybe some of your awesome embroidery in the frames
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Erin. I'll have to give the embroidery suggestion some thought.
DeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others...for sure some of your embroidery.
I love the butterflies. Their colors are beautiful.
Well done Cinderella it's beautiful. I love the froggy so cute but how amazing is grandpa WWH, obviously grace's artwork is beautiful she has very crafty genes.
ReplyDeleteI love your wall and the bright pink colors! Having butterflies and a cool name plaque made by Grandpa makes it extra special. Maybe a pic of the grands in one of the little frames and a pic of Cinderella and her prince charming (um, that's you and yours) in the other? That frog is the bomb, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel, Cinderella. I love those frogs and how you've arranged everything. I know nothing about plaster, is it not bueno for hanging things?
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I am sure she will appreciate it more as she gets older.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people decorate with personal items. It makes the room so much more special. I hope she knows how lucky she is :) (I'm sure she does :) )
ReplyDeleteFor the moment, I think she does realize she's lucky. Thanks Elena :)
DeleteVery pretty. I came over from Pinterest. Love your felt food!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my visit.
I love how you hung her dress on the wall!!! Now I want to go home & save my kids' special baby clothes so I can do that. I bet Grace loves her room. As for the little white frames with nothing in them yet, let Grace decide! I bet she'll put something awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the new gallery wall! The name plaque grandpa made is so cool and unique... love it!! Your family is full of talented people!!
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I had a little "H" who had a similar frog in her room. She grew to become a stained glass artist and create her own butterflies with her Prince Charming, and I think the old frog is still in her past closet. Maybe a pic of a frog in one frame and a Prince in another?
ReplyDeleteOh Amy this is so perfect for Grace! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy suggestions for the small frames - some fun artwork of Grace's or a couple black and white prints of Grace - perhaps a side shot of her looking at something or a whimsical pose of some kind :) I know you will come up with something perfect - in fact you may have already done that! Hope life is going well for you and you are just busy. Sorry it seems to take me longer and longer to get by to see you!
Absolutely beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteAw...thanks Amy.
ReplyDeleteThe gallery wall is just beautiful Amy! I love the pink touches, and those stained glass butterflies are amazing! I'm so glad that Grace's adorable pink dress is still hanging up to be enjoyed. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the gallery wall! Love the print and the frog! ;)
