Organize your son or daughter’s trophy and plaque collections as well as academic ribbons and display them in glass cases. You could also use shadow boxes, floating shelves or classic bookcases. Accessorize them with photo albums, picture frames, yearbooks as well as sentimental toys. This will immediately breathe life to any room. For added drama, use black and white photos, enlarged images and display them on translucent picture frames that are thin enough to go invisible. If you are up to the rigorous labor, create a family collage. This will contain your children’s transition from childhood all organized in a gold plated frame that is as big as a regular painting. This is sure to be the center-piece of the room if not the whole house because of the conversation it will encourage.
