All hail the never-ending Pinterest Projects!

In an attempt to make my house as "kid friendly" as possible I've been searching high and low for some projects that will be relatively low in cost & easy to do. Here's what I've got so far!

Note the second Instragram Collage in a frame! Got this one for free from a friend :)  

Start from the back into the picture. I have my awesome pot rack purchased from Foolish Designs, a company a friend runs. They also built our growth chart ruler. Love love love all the character it adds to my house (and added space in my cupboards!) 
 I bought a bunch of frames from goodwill for around $1-$3 each. I wanted to get some different shapes and sizes. I wasn't too worried on the look, because my plan was to paint them all. I found a couple square mirrors at the goodwill and decided to pick those up for $2 each and paint them a bold pink.
Mirrors help make my 1000sq foot home look quite a lot bigger than it actually is.
My unfinished "pinterest wall"... SO many projects planned for this hallway

Hooray for frames! This wall is far from done. I spray painted the picture frames and painted matching clothes pins. I hot-glued the pins to the frames. Now I have a great place to display my girls' artwork. (Bring on the finger painting!!)

Can I just point out how stinking awesome that growth chart by Foolish Designs is?!
My instagram collage. 
  I adore using my iPhone for just about everything these days. My favorite feature has to be the camera and my Instagram App. I was able to print out my 4x4 Instagram Pictures through the Postal Pix App. It only took about 7 days to ship the pictures too :)
This frame is also from goodwill and I spent about $6 on this one (it started out a gaudy gold color).
The pictures are hung on silver jewelry wire hung vertically (to keep from sagging) that is wrapped around the head of small screws I put into the back of the frame, with matching mini clothes pins hot glued directly to the wire.

Really stinking excited to have the chance to change out the pictures so easily.
$2 cans of spray paint in the garage 

My pot rack! 
I am genuinely in love with having a pot rack in the house. Freed up so much space in my cupboards (and gave me an excuse to ask for good pots and pans for Christmas!)
I want to give a shout out to my friend Autumn, her and her husband run this business. Follow her here

Looking forward to updating so much more now that the weather has gone back to rain!
