Kennedy helped me decide on the placement of the stars by holding them up while I stood back.
It’s kind of awesome, right?I’m really proud of it.
It was a super long process, but I’m so thrilled with it everyday, still.. Obviously there are three things that Kennedy loves that had to be a part of the room: Soccer, turquoise and zebra..I had her agree to let me use some grey in the room because everything being just turquoise would probably be a little too much.I love how it turned out and in fact, I think the grey makes the turquoise even turquoisier!.
The challenge that I ran into was that I, of course, DIYed some things and others were things that I bought.Of the things that I bought, not many came from the same store.
When you’re dealing with a strong accent color, you’re of course not going to be able to get them all to match exactly the same..
I dealt with this problem by having a. main.Ask me how I know.
I attached the photos to the tree using these basic clips that you can find at any Staples store.Instead of the basic black color that you usually find this style of clip in, I grabbed the all silver ones for a little extra sparklyness!.
I’m hoping that we’ll be able to have Christmas morning breakfast this year in our newly-painted dining room, so this type of family photo tree will be the perfect backdrop..Even though I didn’t want to make complicated ornaments out of our pictures, I did try my hand at one type of ornament idea that I’ve seen around.
