A Home for the Snowshoes

So do you remember the snow shoes I showed you a while back when I shared the story of the friendship quilt that made me cry?

Well I think I have found a home for them 🙂 I am going to start at the top of our beautiful white oak stairs {props to my husby Matt!} which are to the right when you walk out of the boys room, through the open door….

If you look up this is what you see… hello ceiling!

I would like to take a moment to say that sometimes all the hours of trolling Pinterest or studying every building and home you walk into can be worth it {please tell me I’m not the only one?} I should also add saving magazine pages to the list {something I do, much to my BFF Joclyn’s dismay…. hahaha magazine hoarders unite!!} This staircase is something I thought could only exist in my imagination, and even though I stained the ceiling before I chose the floors, I love how well they complement each other. It was meant to be! I couldn’t put into words the color I was looking for, but I love love love how it all came together. FYI- the ceiling is stained tongue and groove pine. Yes! Pine… who knew pine could look so good?! {PS- ignore the unfinished trim and paint}

And here we are in relation to our wee little gallery wall.Now the question I ask myself is,  should these stay up year round? Or only in the winter time? I just don’t know… decisions decisions. What would you do? {now that its nearly Spring}

I love how when I start hanging things on the wall, this place feels more and more like home. Yet it’s funny how I get really nervous about it! I don’t want to have too many “little” pieces, because I don’t want it to feel busy and crowded… but our gallery wall taught me that it’s possible to bring small pieces together to create one cohesive statement! Bam.

Thanks for sharing in the fun of this project with me. Who remembers this?Happy Friday friends!
