What to do with all those baby/school pictures.
When a friend was redoing an older home, he gave us a few exterior moldings from above his windows. I painted, distressed and stenciled three of them and used them to make a display of our children's photos. I used inexpensive frames but painted them all alike, using solid, plain ones for our son and more detailed ones for our daughter. The baby pictures start at the bottom of the stairs and they go up to their high school pictures at the top. The stairs lead up to their rooms. They are grown now and our son has moved away. He enjoyed showing this to his fiance the first time she visited. I think both kids like showing their gallery of childhood photos. They also like to point and laugh at how goofy they think the other one looks.
Thanks

The wedding pictures are priceless. All ...»
