So Matt and I decided that it was a must that we do
something with all of the art projects that have been piling up on us already
from Grant.
We decided to take a little
spin off of something that Matt’s mom has had going for many years.
In her kitchen, she has essentially devoted a
wall to art projects, newspaper clippings, and other keepsake items that have
come on gone through the years.
I am
willing to bet that if you dig deep enough some of the things date back many
years.
It is really neat because in some
ways it is a timeline or snapshot of the MANY things that have gone on in their
lives through the years layered upon each other.
Matt and I decided to devote an area in our kitchen for basically
the same purpose.

We created a bulletin board of sorts divided into three
sections: cork, dry erase/magnetic, and a chalkboard. We purchased the cork and dry erase/magnetic
boards and bought chalkboard paint and made our own chalkboard using finished plywood.
I covered the cork board in fabric that matches some of the
colors in our kitchen/living room areas.
Matt adhered the three boards to plywood using ply glue, framed it all
out, and screwed it to the wall (doing very little damage in the process
because it is all one piece assembled separately and then hung).

I am so excited to start fill in more of the space with Grant’s
artwork and memories of our own!
