In the picture below, you can probably tell that we have a fireman figurine on the table which we bought at Uncle Kenny's benefit auction and thought the table was a perfect spot for it to fit in with Trent's police stuff. On the middle shelf of the table, we also have a picture of Uncle Kenny's funeral of him on the firetruck going under the American Flag. After Uncle Kenny passed away, we got a set of his white work gloves and we knew we wanted to do something nice and special with them so we put them in a shadow box with a picture of him in his fireman uniform and hung it in the hallway. I have another pair of white gloves ordered and we will then hang a pair of Trent's white work gloves with a picture of him in a shadow box on the other side of the wall to even the wall back up.
Here is Uncle Kenny's shadow box with his picture and gloves.
This has also always been hanging in our hallway since we moved in the house on a different wall. It is a plaque my Uncle made me after he got back from Iraq for supporting him, writing him letters, and sending him things while he was there. This plaque has always been very special to me and I always knew I wanted it hanging somewhere in my house and it just fit in perfect with our Police hallway.
Since we now have Police, Firemen, and Military things hanging down our Hallway, we will just rename it from "Police Hallway" to Our "Hero Hallway".
I would like to get a curio cabinet to put back in the hallway to put the things on the table in because there are more things that we would like to put on the table and there are more things on the table that are hidden and you can't see. So, if we had a curio cabinet back there, we could nicely display everything we wanted.
Just wanted to show off our changes because I think it's all cute.
