TCBW, not to be confused with TCBY

Since Jon was in Denmark and Sweden last week, we had cleared our entire weekend calendar expecting him to be jetlagged and exhausted. Through some major miracle, he was not exhausted so it was a massive Taking Care of Business Weekend. Recycling cardboard, yard work, and knocking out things off the to-do list.

(And pool time and cocktails and more pool time and silly string fights and BBQ)

One very important order of business: hanging some standout mounts on our stairs. What are standout mounts? HUGE PHOTOS mounted on lightweight formboard.

I love walking up and down my stairs now.

You want a 4x6 print? I see your 4x6 and raise you to a 16x20.

What I love most about this space is the room to grow. I will certainly be adding more standouts over the years. Something tells me at our beach trip in two weeks, I'm going to get some beach photos I would like to place here:

So freaking happy with this space.

These look fantastic. Can you share where you had them done? I'm guessing this would be a cheaper option than the canvas prints I've been dreaming about.

Even the pictures of your pictures are awesome!

Now I have to see if Prodpi is still having their standout sale. I love this idea!

Jill said...

These are freaking fantastic. Are you planning on bringing your photo skillz to the West Coast? :)

Hi. I will be stealing the surname in the sand idea.
Thanks.

Very cool! Love how you arranged them! -Anupa (arorafamily on instagram)
ps: my son is the same age as your boys so it's nice to hear that someone else is going through the same things! (tantrums, kinder, etc)

OK, now I need you to not only come and photograph us, but to decorate our house as well. You've done an amazing job!

so pretty!

for those that commented before me, www.mpix.com does that kind of standouts. they aren't cheap, but they ARE a lot less than canvas wraps. i haven't ordered any yet, but am definitely planning on it. have never been disappointed with a product from them!
