My mom recently made some changes to her living room and had a HUGE empty wall that needed some sprucing up. My mother is an avid reader/collector of books (a fanatic really) and has them proudly displayed in every room of the house. This was my inspiration for transforming her boring wall.
Months ago when I saw Living with Lindsay’s book wreath I added it to my “crafts I must make” list and decided this was the perfect opportunity. Over 1200 pages and several glue gun burns later it was perfect (so much so I think I might make one for my house!)
Next, I made a monogrammed canvas just like the one I made here. I covered the wooden “Y” with pages from a book, distressed it and then painted the canvas, found coordinating scrapbook paper and fabric trim to complete the look.
I love this quote “Home is Where Your Story Begins…” and knew it would be the perfect finishing touch, so I ordered the vinyl quote from Off the Wall Expressions.
I enlisted the help of my favorite handy man
Added an assortment of picture frames and my moms favorite pictures and that big boring wall has been transformed into this…
I love it! This was a simple project that made a huge impact. Did I mention I love it!
This looks amazing. You did such a great job.
