our life {with a paneled backdrop}

I was very inspired by the photo wall from

Stephanie {Nie Nie} Neilson's kitchen...

i love the wall and wanted one just like it.

So this was a little project i did while

"cleaning" the basement today.

When we moved recently,

I collected all the many images I have printed

over the last 11 years {since welcoming our first child into the world} and put them in a box...

knowing what i wanted to do with them.

Today was the perfect rainy day to hang out in the

basement and work on the project. {ok...it did not take the day...just the hour that my 3 year old napped}

The box still has many more pictures...

and the wall has much more room.

I will add more...over time...but for now~ i just love it~

even with dreaded paneled wall in the background.

This little gallery {that may be tacky to some}

is just a reminder how lucky I really am...

because 12 years ago I never thought this wall would exist...

thank you for existing!
