Naked Walls

When it comes to decorating I am not a minimalist. I believe walls should have anything from tasteful clusters of vintage finds to simple, however large, statement pieces. If you find a bare wall in my space it is simply because I haven't gotten to it yet. As I finish off selecting the pieces for the wall above my bed I look to Pinterest for inspiration.

Art on a Budget

 My walls have been looking a little bare lately so I dusted off some old books and transformed them in to wall art. I'm always looking for books that have colorful illustrations or beautiful text at thrift stores & garage sales. Remember this?

I can't bring myself to cut in to an atlas I found last summer at a garage sale. Read this coupon I found in it's pages that expired in 1940. 

Maps made easy art especially in matted frames.

My favorite places to get frames on a budget:

*Thrift stores (sometimes if the picture already in the frame is particularly hideous you can get a great deal)*

*Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls*

*Craft stores like Michales or Joann Fabrics (But only with a coupon!)*

My favorite book is all about flowers paired with watercolor illustrations of them.

Here I just cut out a rose and glued it over a dictionary page. 

 Ta-da! My hallway is now dressed for spring.

After.

It's clean!!! I used the door, every wall and the ceiling for storage to organize my new and improved craft closet.

Pouf there it is

It's trendy. It's functional. It's adorable. It's a Pouf!

A happy yellow pouf from World Market
A mushroom pouf from the amazing Anthropologie, perfect for my lawn gnome Halloween costume.
A casual neutral knit from the always green Viva Terra
And a few more adorable options from Urban Outfitters

Home Decor

We apologize to our followers who haven't been treated to new posts in quite some time. Life has become crazy. Sharayah has been promoted and now commutes to work adding an extra 2 hours to her work day. I have recently started a job sewing things for airplanes ( at least that's how I explain it to those who ask) and work 40 hour weeks. As for Kendra, between babysitting and preparing for school, she hasn't found time either.

I just wanted to take a moment to share some items from a company that I love. West Elm has so many beautiful home decor products that I find amazing. Ooo and aah with me at westelm.com
