All about the Brown's: Project: Family Tree

After seeing adorable trees painted on walls all over the place on the internet and friends facebook pages I decided that I just had to do one myself! I had this extra space on Addi's wall after taking down her canopy (which she would pull through the slats in her crib and became a hazard so it had to go) and I wasn't sure what to do with it. After seeing yet another person with a beautiful tree painted on their daughters wall I knew what I had to do! A Family Tree!! I had a bunch of ideas on how to do it so I went down to Michaels to see what they might have to make it happen. I knew I wanted picture frames to hang on the tree of all our immediate family members. Luck would have it that they had these cute leaf shaped frames on sale for .99! I snatched up all of them (Luckily they had the exact amount I needed) and than everything else fell into place. I found awesome metallic paint to make leaves and a cute bird house to hang in the tree and pretty flowers to bloom from the branches!! If you know me well, I have no patience once I get an idea in my head. I raced home and thankfully Addi was ready for a nap. A long one too! I got all the leaves and the birdhouse painted. I drew out my "blueprints" and once she woke up I drew my template on the wall behind her crib. Once Kyle came home from work I got right to it and quickly painted the tree on the wall. Then after some help from Kyle with placing the frames on the wall I finished in record time! Total of about three hours including the painting of the frames and everything! I am so pleased with the outcome and can't wait to take individual pics of our Family to put in the frames! Here is the pics of my process:)
