30 years ago, moms may have been content to display magnets and artwork all over the refrigerator, but many of today's mothers take their cues from HGTV shows and impossibly hip celebrity mothers. In response to their desires, creative designers have come up with a host of new ways to showcase the little ones' creativity without sacrificing one's sanity.
Dynamic Frames: These frame/cabinet hybrids offer a convenient, spring-loaded display case for traditional paper artwork.
Do-Frame: For braver moms, this roll of tape allows stray wall drawings to be transformed into artwork by simply taping a frame around the offending marks.
Magnetic Wall Paint: Who says magnets are just for the fridge? Magnetic paint transforms any stray surface or out of the way wall into an instant gallery.
Fotofalls: A nice desk solution, this tree of clips can hang up to 18 small works of art.
Steel Cable System: This clothesline-inspired system will accommodate nearly any size or shape.
For anyone who was still wondering, this should serve as reassuring confirmation that parenthood does not equal the death of style.
