Reuse: Thrifted Frames + Some Blog Love {Earth Week}

Let's start with some love, shall we?

When I first started this blogging thing there were a couple of blogs that I got a crush on. You know what I'm talking about, those blogs where every post inspires you and you get giddy when something new comes up on your dashboard. Admit it, Treasure & Tranquility is one of those blogs......*insert extreme sarcasm!*

Well, I've had a huge blog crush on Amanda from A Lovely Place to Land forever now.

Amanda has a wonderful home full of DIY decor. She is a Thrift Shop lover who has done beautiful projects such as:

A charming personalized lamp.
She recently took a little break from blogging to welcome her first child into her family. And although I missed her posts, how can I blame her for wanting to spend time with this cutie!? But now she is back and I can crush some more. :)
 
Before taking her maternity leave Amanda posted this fabulous Family Gallery Wall.

I fell in love and knew that someday I would have to do the same... and here it is!
 





It's a small gallery right now, but I expect it to grow. I had bunches of Sweetpea's artwork in a box and I've been thinking of a way to showcase it. Problem solved. All the frames are thrifted and I just happen to have a can of spray paint meant for plastic already. Easy peasy!

She's super proud and was so excited to see it all up on the wall!

Best of all it really give our house that "home" feel, which I can honestly say I've never felt until now.
Love, love, love it! I can't wait to add more masterpieces.

  2. I love the framed children's art---I taught art in public school for years. Art made by young people is simply the best. Your display is darling. I love it.
