About that blank wall...

Originally I planned this wall as a screen for our projector and when we first moved in we used it as such. Issues with ambient light and bulbs and controller boards lead us back to a traditional set. So there this blank wall stood waiting for a piece of art large enough to fill this space in proper proportion to its size. I considered gallery photo walls but found them too busy for my more modern minimalist preferences. I tried placing the couch there under a long bold mirror but still it was not right. So long it lived a blank reminder of my inability to create a well decorated home.
And then it was time to really focus on learning our ABCs and the arrival of these smart geeky and thought provoking flash cards by NerdyBaby. Laid out and affixed to the wall with reusable wall mounting squares by Scotch they have become a joy to look at, a fantastic teaching tool and a jumping point for many a good academic conversations.
