The Kids' Wall

So this year I fell out of love with my house. I'm not sure when or how it happened exactly, but it did. Lately I find myself online looking at real estate, the whole time feeling disloyal and a little bit dirty. In those moments I force myself to recall the first dreamy months of living here. We had moved from a crowded apartment building in an urban area, and I was thrilled to have my own designated parking spot (driveway), my own laundromat (washer/dryer), and my own park (backyard). I felt so content just to be here, and I want that feeling back.

To that end, I decided to make over our home wall by wall, room by room and I plan to share our progress here as we go. This weekend we put together this wall in our newly painted entryway.

I'm calling this wall the kids' wall, and I'm liking it a whole lot. What do you think?

Are you doing any home improvements this summer that you want to share?
