kids art gallery hallway

There is nothing that adds more personality to a home than art.

Kids art is a personal favorite of mine.  Honestly, it doesn’t even matter if it’s my own children’s artwork.  I just love the pieces that a child creates.  There is so much innocence and creativity in their work.  I mean, obviously, my own kids’ artwork is very special to me which is why I’ve chosen to create a little hallway art gallery to display my favorite pieces from over the years.

The exciting thing about each piece is that they’re totally original and can never be replicated.  What their little hands created even just a year ago…..even they themselves couldn’t replicate if they tried because every day, week, month, year they grow and develop…..the way they see and interpret the world changes…..and their fine motor skills are fine tuned………well, you get the point.

That’s why these pieces mean so much to me.  They’re apart of their history.  And I not only love and cherish each beautiful piece, but each piece holds a precious memory.  Every single piece is totally and completely priceless.

This is just a little hallway in the house that connects the foyer and office to the kitchen, dining and living room.  I plan to fill every bit of wall space in here with the kids’ art pieces.  Just for fun I painted this little ceiling area pink (Sherwin Williams Rachel Pink).  It’s a fun little pop of color.

Now instead of this hallway being a basic boring pass through, it’s a little hallway where people like to linger and smile.  And the glimpse I see of these pieces from the kitchen makes me happy every day.

  • Oh, I love the pink ceiling! So fun and unexpected. Love the gallery wall of your children's art. How did you ever choose what pieces or did you let them choose?
    Also, great collection of frames. Looks wonderful.

  • SO sweet! I love that they look so professional in their frames. Children love to see their artwork on display, then to frame them? Well, totally complimentary!

  • This nearly brought tears to my eyes, Carmel. I love how the sum of the pieces encompass how your children have grown. They seem to be really great artists! I hope it brings you joy every time you pass through.

  • Oh how I wish I would have loved to had a gallery of my children's art like yours. My children are adults now, put I intend to have one when my grandbaby starts drawing.

  • I have been scouring pintrest for something to jazz up a space and just saw your pink ceiling….oh my gosh! Color on the ceiling with white walls! yikes! I love the cheerful artwork looking so elegant too!
