I KNEW HE COULD

Back in December, I ordered this print from here.
It arrived in the mail in just two days, and then it sat on my desk for two weeks.


I finally got around to framing it.  I used a frame I got at Pottery Barn outlet a fews years ago.
The frame hung on the wall for nearly two years in our master bathroom, sans a picture.
Other people do that too, right?   Hang frames with no pictures in them (for long periods of time).
I covered the oversized mat with kraft paper and then secured the print with tape.
I know, a very technical and professional way to frame something.
Once again, I threatened to hang it myself, in order to slyly persuade my husband to do it.
It involved drilling into the tile wall, so he was not about to let me attempt this one.
Worked like a charm.  I never really thought I could, but I knew he could!


It sits above the throne in the boys' bathroom.  
You may remember from this postI intended for the message
 to be a motivational tool to encourage my boys to "hit the target".


I can officially report that this lovely print has resulted in absolutely no improvement in my boys' aim, 
but it sure looks cute hanging on the wall.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

  1. It looks great! I love your framing skills, I think we went to the same Framing School. ;-). If you find a method that works for the aiming problem let me know. My boys are 10 and 13, and I am still looking. :-)

  3. I DID go to framing school and I think it looks mah-velous!! The craft paper is a great idea as a background and I love the colors in the print (and it just makes me laugh!!) My boys are 13 and 9 and I too are still encouraging a little more aim (and the lifting of the seat!!) :)

  10. I think this is very cute...perhaps they were not so focused on the print/too much pressure? Maybe it is time to move it (or not)....some day. Brought a smile to my face.
