One of the things I did this weekend was to create a little art wall in our mudroom. Our little guy (19 months old) has been bringing home lots of art projects lately so we wanted a special place to display them. We have a perfect spot in this high-traffic space.
The cork board was found at Target in a 4-pack for about $5. I affixed them to the wall with Command adhesive strips. I will probably add 4 more to the adjacent wall.
James makes lots of art at home too. (p.s. does that look like your hubby too? Glued to the t.v. during football season?)
Ahhhh!!! You should've seen the look on his face when I showed him in the mirror what he had done.

Oh my goodness as precious as life can get!!
ReplyDeleteNice solution for the artwork! With one in preschool and one in kindergarten, we have artwork coming out our ears. I need to rig something up...my fridge might fall over from the weight of it all. ;)
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh about your hubby. Mine is the same way, except he really reclines a lot more on the couch. ;)
your son is so cute!can you tell me where you purchased those two kitchen stools?
ReplyDeleteThose boards are such a cute idea. Lilly is really into painting too. In fact for her bday she received a painting easel... looks like I'm going to need a place to display it all too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome and simple idea! Those are the kind I like! I will be doing this!
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My little guy is in preschool now and he's bringing home loads of artwork too. Thanks so much for the idea!
ReplyDeleteAriez- thanks! The stools are from Amazon.

So darn cute. Great idea with the boards. You'll be able to have your own art gallery soon thanks to handsome little James!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea for displaying his art and easy to switch out! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute!! We converted the formal dining room to our sons playroom. I just hung his wall art gallery a week ago. I had to do something with all his projects he does at school. I will do a post on it soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It looks much better than covering the refrigerator. Your son is so cute!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! i need to do something like this for ava's artwork. she brings a lot home from daycare.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I'm definitely going to do this for our playroom. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple and easy solution, and I love the way it looks. It will also be so easy to change it out. I'm going to show this to my sister! And yes, that's how my husband looks too!! haha
ReplyDeleteLove that idea! And, you'll want the extra four...he'll have them covered in no time!! Something I wish I'd done is to take pictures of the girls art...that way when we were done with it (or had waaay too many pieces) we could keep a few for sentimental reasons, but have the others as well (pics don't take up much space!!). And, thank goodness everything they make these days is washable ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm going to Target!
ReplyDeleteHe's soo cute!! and I love his work on the wall! I miss those days!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea (he's so yummy!!!) As for keeping all that art that comes home, I have a 3-ring binder with plastic sleeve thingies...I slip a few pieces every so often in them for keepsake. Trust me, don't even attempt to keep it all...You'll drown in paper! And then be featured on Hoarders! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have art coming out the wazoo! I'm thinking of doing a HUGE art wall in the garage kind of like a giant bulletin board in school. For now we use magnets to hang it on the door to the garage. Most of it ends up in the recycle bin at some point but my daughter has caught on so I have to be discreet! I keep a few things but you can only hang on to so much. :)
ReplyDeleteA cute idea I have seen is to save all of his letters he brings home ("D is for dots", etc...) and hang them as a completed alphabet!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I am always trying to finding a way to display the art without having my house look like a daycare--this is brillant!
ReplyDeleteI must get these corkboards! Do you remember where exactly in Target you found them? (office/supplies aisle?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little idea! My son (just turned two) loves art also... this would be great for us!
