We had a busy weekend over here at the Junk in the Trunk headquarters.  Well, we don’t really have headquarters, but it sounds so cool to say that doesn’t it!? Maybe someday… Anyway, Lindsey and I and our wonderful husbands built some fun stuff for the April show this weekend.  OK you caught me again, our husbands did the building and we did the painting, but we were totally working hard I swear!

I have been racking my brain since my son started preschool for a way to organize and display his artwork.  It seems like there is mountains of artwork that comes home everyday and some things are just too cute to throw away.  I purchased these cork squares from amazon, I am sure they are available at any craft store or Walmart.

I wanted to put them in a place the kids saw their special artwork everyday, but I really didn’t want it in the living room.  I want my house kid friendly, but not to look like the kids are taking over.  Anyone with me on this one?

So I decided to put these in the hallway.  It is up right outside their bedroom and we can all enjoy the art throughout the day.

How cute is that little lion?

I actually just ordered one more set of the cork boards so I can have that whole wall covered with their art as they walk down the hall.  I love it and the boys love seeing their art up there!
