Picture This!!!!

I have a hallway that goes from my back door to the front of my house that has one empty wall.

I really wanted to display our family photos in a unique way that allowed people to see

a true reflection of us.

I purchased several old windows from a lady who was remodeling her older home.

I bought the larger windows for five dollars and the smaller ones for three dollars.

(although the smaller ones are a really good size.)

I  edited photos that I had taken of our children and

gave them the same effect to give the pictures a unified look.

I them printed the pictures and taped them behind the glass.

I even edited some of our wedding photos

and placed them behind the smaller window pane.

There was a nail hole in the window,

so I added a fleur de lis embellishment.

The Divine Mr. M measured and measured and measured

before hanging the windows on the wall.

There were open spaces left on the wall,

so I decided to add some architectural interest by adding

different pieces for texture.

This is the face of a dresser drawer that I found on the curb.

I loved the carving soooo much.

I painted it white and distressed the front to give it some age.

I then painted the knob with some Oil Rubbed Bronze...my fave.

I love the look it gives!

Here's the wall from the only angle that I could squeeze in.

(sorry. The hallway is very narrow.)

I added our family initial, a key, a door knob, and a large fleur de lis as well.

I also added the window from my great grandmother's house with a wonderful quote

 that I talked about here.

This is Mr. M's favorite project by far!!!

I love the originality and the aged look it gives.

Hope ya'll like it too!!!!!!
