Weekend Reading

By Kate Riley February 21, 2014

Hello all, welcome to the weekend! I’m off to buy some primer and paint to begin on some of those thrift store finds I shared earlier in the week. Speaking of paint, I’m smitten with this oversized mural on canvas as a focal point behind the bed, or anywhere you envision large scale art. This serene version is a DIY project explained in detail at the link below.

  1. As usual, totally on point! I was searching for cute shelf paper for a resale peice I found for our nursery and, voila, there was your link to a great source! So now I can waste less time surfing the net looking for it and more time focusing on my croissant this morning :)
