tour of my house--stuff on the walls!

I went around my house & took photos of most of my fave things hanging on the wall.
Most are things that I made, but some were also gifts.

For the things I made, I'll share a link to the post on my blog about that specific thing.

Let's start upstairs & work our way down!


Shelf in my daughter's room. I love the white & pink stuff there all together. {I posted about her room when she was a new baby. It's different now, maybe I'll share what it looks like now sometime.}


Another fave thing in her room is her pink mirror that I bought from Home Sense- {like Home Goods in the US}. I still love it & she likes checking herself out in it :)


And this little bird I made for her wall was a cutting board I found on clearance at Urban Outfitters. I just painted it pink & mod podged scrapbook paper on it!


I love this hair clip board that hold just some of my daughter's large collection of hair accessories. The hook underneath is from Urban Outfitters.


My dad made me this wall hanging of the "Be's" & I love it. And it reminds me constantly of how grateful I am to have parents with such strong faith. 


Collection of white picture frames in the hallway upstairs- The one with the yellow mat has a picture of both our kids at one month old. So fun to see them as babies & to see the similarities! The "W" printable was something that Lizzy at Pickle Doodle Designs made for me!


Our house is all painted in neutral colours- except our son's room. His room is a bright blue colour & his room is totally boy & very colourful! {His room is also different from the original post & maybe I should share how it looks now sometime.}

I made this pencil crayon initial that hangs above his dresser:


This handsome mirror was one of the first things I made for his room & it was also my very first feature! I was so excited when it was featured on Tip Junkie back when I shared my crafts on our family blog!


I also made this "I Am A Child of God" wall hanging. (My hubby cut the material for me & rounded the edges, then I painted it & added the vinyl words.)


My brother gave this "Love" board to me one year for my birthday, shortly after I got married. It's hung in each home we've lived in & it makes me happy :)


I still of course love my DIY jewelry holder. It hold all my everyday-type necklaces & my 'real' jewelry lives in my jewelry boxes.


Another fave in my bedroom are my heart map shadowbox frames:


Near our front entrance is this shelf, with my DIY fabric-covered bulletin board:


In our main floor hallway, we have this board that I made in December to hold our stockings. I had a glittery star in the centre. It ended up staying put 'cause it's just so handy. 


This drawer front was in our basement waiting for me to re-purpose it somehow...


I just added some knobs onto it...


And I let my husband hang it up. My son LOVES hanging things on it. It's a great home for our bag of library stuff!


By our computer desk, we have this pair of Ikea frames that contain the first picture our kids each made. Both were done when they were the same age. So I added a Jenni Bowlin sticker on each of them with theirs name & age on it.


In our dining room we have this shelf that has some family photos that we love. That large family picture is a year & a half old- I need to update it!


Now down to the basement!

In December my husband finished making a room down there that serves as the kids' play room & also has my craft stuff. {Another thing to post about sometime!}

Anyways, I love this collage frame my parents gave us for Christmas one year. So perfect for displaying some fave family photos!


Above my craft area, I have these canvases. I love Dr. Seuss quotes! And the canvases I did of the kids' hand prints last summer are so precious to me. 


I love this built-in shelf area. It houses some containers of books that were overflow from the kids' rooms. It's also great for a few decorative items!
I scored the yellow & blue lanterns at the end of last summer. Superstore marked them down from $8 each to $0.44 a piece!

I also have the blue Walt Disney quote printable, as well as a Winnie the Pooh quote I found on Pinterest.


There you have it! 
I hope you enjoyed the tour through my home of my favourite things on the walls!

  3. Wow I love your wall decor!! Especially the shelf in your daughter's room, and the jewelry holder! I would be embarassed to show you our walls, lol! We've only been in our house 6 months, and I have yet to put up any of our photos. Most of the walls are still bare. I was so excited to get into our own house after 5 years of apartment living, so that I could finally paint the walls, and hang up whatever I wanted. And now that we're in our own home, I can't decide what to do with the walls... This post gives me some inspiration, thanks for sharing! =)
