A lot of the walls in my house are bare and I'm trying to change that. One wall that really bothers me is in my kitchen. I have tried putting a bulletin board there with fun pictures made by the kids, but it just wasn't working for me. I've seen those Family Rules (like this one) around blogland and thought about doing that for a bit, but I don't know if that will work either.
Then it hit me...THIS picture:
It was taken by good friend Lyndsey and when I saw it on her blog I fell in love. I can't fully explain it, but it is a picture that really stands out to me...the classic watering can and a touch of snow.
So, what am I going to do with this on my kitchen wall...a Seasons collage! The above picture will be my Winter picture and this will be my Summer picture:
This was also taken by my wonderful friend Lyndsey...right in my backyard. If you've read this blog for a while you know my love for sunflowers. I asked Lyndsey to take some pictures of some sunflowers that Rondell bought me and she agreed...and I love it!
I am in the process of finding a picture for Fall (I have one in mind) and I am going to take a picture (or maybe ask Lyndsey again) for my Spring photo.
After we repaint the walls this summer I will frame all of them and then hang them on the bare wall...hopefully bringing it to life!
This & That and Merry Christmas!

that is a great idea. I love the simple photos, too. Very peaceful.
That is a great idea! And I think maybe we read each other's mind because my giveaway for this Friday is a picture frame with a different picture for the four seasons! How weird is that! I just finished working on them:)
BRILLIANT!!! This is a fabulous idea and a great way to showcase photographs that are personal to you... like the sunflower from your own backyard!
What a great idea! I am also a major lover of sunflowers, they are one of my favs for sure! Hope you are good!
I can't wait to see it! I love that you're including pictures from your own surroundings and taken by loved ones. That will be nice to look at on a daily basis.
Fabulous idea, Kelli!
Nothing says FALL like BUCKEYE FOOTBALL BABY! But that is just my 2 cents.
Soon friend, we will actually meet! Soon.
That will be perfect!
THat is perfect, Kelli! I love it! I have a fall collage in our dining room! I love the colors of fall! I also did a picture frame collage of winter and another fall one in our family room. I've one that I've wanted to do from last spring too! But maybe I'll just wait until the pretty white blossoms pop out and take new ones this year! GREAT idea! {I'm running out of wall space! haha!}
I like that idea! I may have to find a spot in my house for something similar.
this is just a grand idea. i love it. high five for coming up with it!
What a terrific idea! And I love that pic, too! Very pretty and it just captures your attention. :) Can't wait to see your wall when it's all done!
what a lovely idea!! can't wait to see the finished look!
What a wonderful idea Kelli. I am sure it will be so beautiful!!
XOOX

I think that will be beautiful. I always love the different aspects of the seasons. I love the watering can photo as well. I think it gives a lot of hope to the change of seasons. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Have a fabulous day!
Oh I love that idea! You are so creative, Kelli!
What a great idea!!! That is inspiring....
Oooh! What a great idea, Kelli! I collect roosters and so I have a wall that is covered with rooster prints, a clock, shelves with small rooster knick knacks I've collected over the years, and one B/W picture my aunt took of her rooster she had. His name was Buster. It's my favorite on that wall.
Make sure you take pictures when you've finished your wall. God bless!
