Entryway Makeover

This was my old entryway, cozy and cute, but like everything else I got tired of it. It began to look cluttered and extra things were getting shoved in the shelves. So a while back my husband added creamy white stripes to the wall, and it looked like this.
Then I added black frames with a touch of ribbon and now it looks like this.

I printed these out on regular white paper, stapled the ribbon to the frames and voila!

This is my touch of fall, cute white pumpkins and a febreze candle in willow blossom, love it!!

Here is the other little piece of entryway on the opposite wall. This is the perfect spot for my son's timeout bench. It is working out perfectly so far.

My husband bought this for him last year during the holidays, he built it 3 months ago, and I painted it 4 days ago. Talk about procrastination!! We are both working on it.
What do you think? I love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thank you for stopping by, I will be linking up to:

Fun idea for all your wallet size pictures

This is what I came up with to display all my wallet size pictures I have been given throughout the years. Pretty neat huh? Total cost for this project was $7 and about 2 hours of labor. This frame was purchased at Hobby Lobby for $6.99, original price was $69.99...yeah I scored! The ribbons, glass bead pins,cork board, and black and white toile fabric I already had. The Family plaque was also purchased at Hobby Lobby a while back, I just framed it with a dollar frame from GW(Good Will) that was sprayed white. We added the stripes to my hallway about 1 month ago, the same day we painted my daughter's room. I love it so much better now.
Here's a close up of the ribbon and the glass bead pins. If you missed the how to make the glass bead pins, you can find it here.


Here is what the whole wall looks like. On the right is my husbands family, on the left is mine, and in the middle all the grand kids combined.


These are my parents and my siblings.

Here are my husbands parents and siblings.

and the left.

This is my coat closet. Pretty on the outside, but not so pretty on the inside.

Finally, here is a picture of the way the frame looked before it met Miss. Heirloom White.

So there you have it, how to display all the wallet size pictures you probably have stashed away in a shoe box. Let me know what you think of my project, I hope it was worth the wait.
