My Race Wall. Is it too much?

Even though we are gearing up for Summer, it didn't really feel like we had much of a Spring here. In any case, I recently did a little Spring cleaning/organizing around here.

Our friend Pam from We Run Disney recently posted a picture of her newly organized/designed office space featuring her running medals and memorabilia and encouraged her readers to do the same.  I knew I had wanted to post a picture of what I had done with all of mine, but I needed to get a few more pieces in place.

I can't really display my things in my office area, so mine are on the second floor in my dressing room.  Anyone who has ever visited my home knows that this room is my sweet escape.  Here is the finished product.

                        It was kind of hard to take a picture of because of the mirror on the vanity.


                                            On the right is my medal holder from SportsHook.

 

In the Middle are three pictures from the 2014 Princess Half Marathon Weekend at Disney.

On the right is my medal hanger from Gone For a Run. I decided to slip in that photograph from the Disney 5k and it fits perfectly. There is still room to slide another 4x6 photo in on the other side but I kind of like the Magical Miles.

I was going to put on it all my Disney medals/medallions that I have earned over the years, but decided to just keep the 2014 Princess ones on here for now. For this hook I had to double the lanyards on the medals because they would hang down and interfere with the light switch.

Above the hook I have my race certificates framed. The one on the bottom is from the Glass Slipper Challenge and the one on top is from Volunteering at the WDW Marathon last year.  I might put the certificate up from this years Princess Half but I need to find another picture frame. That's why I just put the GSC one up for now.


So do you think this is too much?  I'm really the only one who sees all of this anyway ( or maybe the occasional girl friend or relative who wants to come over and borrow some clothes).

I figured I could throw all this stuff in a box, or I could decorate with it. 

Your turn. Lets keep Pam's motivation going.  Write a post on how you display your medals and race memorabilia.   ( or you can just tell us in the comments or your could do both!)

Let Us Help You Display Your Medals ( With a Give away)!

So we've fiddled around with how to display our medals for some time now.

We've hung them off shelves ( the ones with the pegs on them).

We've hung them on the over the door clothes racks.

We've hung them on random hooks.

We've even seen how others display theirs too.

But when we saw Sport Hooks at the Rock n Roll expo back in August, we knew this was a winner.

So imagine our surprise when Sport Hooks contacted us asking if we wanted to do a review and give away on our blog.  Yes Please!  We just knew our Disney fans would love the Disney inspired ones as much as we did.

Of course, we chose the "Magical Miles" hooks in silver.

I was pleased as punch when it arrived!

Sport Hooks offers many Disney inspired designs in black, silver, and now a new tint of color, which I think is so magical looking!

If you are not that into Disney designs, don't worry. They have a design for everyone. Are you a Boston Runner? Are you part of Moms Run This Town? Are you a tri-athlete or an ironman?  What ever you are into, Sport Hooks has a display for you. You can check out other designs HERE.

We got the 10 hook display, but we couldn't just put our Disney medals on it! Oh no, we had to load this beauty up!

( If you are wondering about the tacky wallpaper, this was a nursery we turned into a dressing room!)

This was super easy to install. Sport Hooks even sends you the correct screws with the display. I was also surprised at how light weight it is.



*I was provided a free Sport Hooks display, but all opinions are my own.


Okay, so who wants a Sport Hooks display of their own?
