Design Mom<\/a> shares her simple way to celebrate the everyday in your family with ideas for five meaningful displays \u2013 from your child\u2019s artwork to a map symbolizing your favorite family vacation. How will you celebrate the everyday?<\/p>\n

\n

1. Children\u2019s artwork.<\/h3>\n

A family portrait drawn by your first grader, the series of sun-dye prints they made with Grandma \u2014 framed with a wide mat, even the most childlike scribbles will look museum-worthy.<\/p>\n

2. Family photos.<\/h3>\n

Frame family memories to keep them safe and fresh in your family\u2019s minds. Photos from your last vacation. Candid shots snapped when you had a family portrait photographed. A series of Polaroids. Any style or any size can work.<\/p>\n

3. Memorabilia.<\/h3>\n

Why frame only photographs? How about the number that was pinned to your T-shirt during the marathon you ran? A handwritten letter? Postcards from your favorite museum? What about the program from your daughter\u2019s first ballet recital, or the ticket stub from your first concert? Framing them tells your family that these personal landmarks, and the things you do together, matter.<\/p>\n

4. Maps.<\/h3>\n

Hang a map of Illinois to show where you studied. Display a map of your hometown\u2014the place your kids have spent a week every summer visiting cousins. You could display a map of Europe, with pins indicating where you\u2019ve traveled. Or maybe put a map of India on the wall, to show where you want to travel. Maybe it\u2019s an oversize world map, so your family can see the whole Earth, and consider how they fit into it.<\/p>\n

5. Quotes.<\/h3>\n

Near our reading loft is a framed, handwritten image with two words: \u201cRead instead.\u201d It\u2019s there to remind the kids that there\u2019s a comfy chair and a good book waiting for them when they\u2019re done putting together that fort. What quotes are meaningful to your family? Or the better question: What quotes do you wish were meaningful to your family? You get to decide. And whatever words you choose, if they live on the family room wall for a few years, they will remain with your kids for a lifetime.<\/p>\n
