Just What I Wanted

A few days ago a super-exciting package arrived in the mail for me . . . my Mother's Day gift! 

I have been wanting to display some photos from our travels in our house for a while, but I've had a hard time deciding how and where. One day I was on FB and saw an advertisement for MixTiles and thought that was the perfect solution for how to display my photos. After a little more thought, I decided our entryway would be a great spot for the MixTiles collage and even leave room for expansion in the future. Chris and the kids gave me the money to order the MixTiles for Mother's Day, so I made that happen not long after we returned from our Smoky Mountain vacation. 

Sometimes my visions don't always come to life the way I hope they will, so I have been pretty anxious to see our photos on the tiles and to get everything put together. When the box with the tiles arrived in the mail, I was so excited that it made the kids laugh. 

I'm happy to report that I am thrilled with the quality of the tiles and how our photos look! Yesterday, I hung everything up in our entryway and couldn't be more happy with how it turned out! 

The tiles are extremely light-weight and easy to hang. I used a level to keep everything straight, but just eye-balled the distance between tiles. After everything was hung, I took one tile down and adjusted its placement a bit. It came down and went back up with no issues.

Some of our favorite trips and favorite moments!

I also freshened up the shelf decor. Very happy with how it came together!

The company that makes these tiles claim they can be taken down and repositioned easily, so we'll see if that's true after they've been up for a while. I would eventually like to add on to the collage, so I'm glad that is an option, too. Overall, I'm just tickled with how it looks and happy to finally have some of our travels photos on display!
