In case you hadn't heard, I'm snowed in. Georgia received a ton of snow/ice earlier in the week and we are taking our sweet time digging our way out. Lots of impassable roads, parking lots that look like ice skating rinks, cars ending up in ditches, etc.
We've done all the work we can do on our master bathroom up until the plumber comes (hopefully TODAY if he can slide his way here!!!). I used up the only two gallons of paint I had left in the house (more on that later!). I stalked visited all of my favorite blogs. And read each and every one of my work emails.
Oh, and I ate about forty-two bowls of chili.

So what else is a girl to do?!
Gussy up one of the walls in my office.
With the help of a magazine/mail holder from Ikea and a little switcharoo action with some of my favorite fun art from around the house (the Georgia print is from Jenna, the "I love you" print from Jen, and the photo of me and David was taken by my cousin, Kendall), I added some depth to this wall of my office.
Like my giant calendar/inspiration board? Here's the tutorial on it.
And our stripes? Learn how to get those here.
And just for the full effect, here are a few more shots of the ol' office.

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the picture of your state and the made by girl print! So adorable. And today in art class someone said, "Even Georgia has snow!" And I was like, "I know, my friend Michelle told me!" The girl asked how I knew someone from Georgia...no matter how hard you try to explain they're a blogging friend, no one understands! (:
ReplyDeleteLove love love the calendar! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it, girl! Such great additions. I wish we'd had more snow here in Texas, we just had little flurries. Although, I guess I'm glad we're not still stuck inside.

Love the pops of color you put on the wall - the frame colors are great! You've inspired me to play around with color when spray painting old frames. I just blogged about my recent gallery wall, too...I'd love if you'd check it out!
