updating the entrance way to my home

It is no secret that I like to decorate our home. It keeps me busy and I like to have fun coming up with new creative ideas. I also love to change rooms around when my husband is away, the poor guy, and I constantly work on getting a better feel to our home. This week I was excited to update the entrance way to our home. I loved what I originally had on my wall but decided to have some fun adding some more family pictures.


I have shared before how I have a heart wall in our entrance way {see above} with prints that I ordered from Printsagram. Printsagram are a wonderful company who print out your Instagram pictures. As I love to use Instagram, I am sevencherubs by the way, I thought it would be lovely to have some of them on display in my home. I ordered the miniprints to get these cards {see below}. I adore them! I love them so much I decided to go a little crazy and add a few more pictures to the wall. I may have gone a little overboard but the whole family is loving it!


I ordered a couple of sets of cards and went to work sticking them to our wall.


I now have a very large heart on our wall.
I am still working out the shape of it.
Not quite happy yet but getting there!


People love to comment on it when they come into our home.
My cherubs also love to see pictures of themselves and to remember fun times we had.

I of course am beyond excited about it!
It makes me smile every time I see it.

    1. Hi Jayde, I picked them up in Target. They have been great to store hats etc in at the front door.

  5. That looks so lovely and welcoming too. Are the cards folded like a greeting card? Did you stick the whole card up or did you cut off the back piece? Looks like it might be time for me to change the family photos at my front foyer. Thanks for a lovely idea. smiles.
