I read the entire book cover-to-cover and came away feeling much like I do when I read their blog – so inspired. The majority of the tips are really quite simple, and even if some weren’t necessarily my taste, my head was still spinning with ideas.
I thought I’d end this post with a picture of a project I’m working on, influenced by the book. Specifically, it’s Tip #143: Find Free Art. I went around the house, looking for a few things I could add to my gallery wall in the nursery. Here’s what I came up with:
- I’m not sure where I acquired the print of the Madonna, but it’s one of my favorites and I think it would look lovely in the nursery.
- The pressed flowers came from the bouquet the boys gave me when I came home from the hospital with our girl. I’m thinking one or two of them would be sweet in a little square frame.
- The kangaroo card was J’s first birthday party invitation. I love the vintage vibe.
- The crayon drawing was made by my sister years and years ago. She painstakingly drew each flower and circle. I love the design so much so I’m hoping to cut a piece out and add it to the wall.
