I'm not planning to review books regularly but this one is too fabulous not to blog about. You know I am a huge fan of DIY art - just check out my
DIY Projects page for proof.
DIY Art at Home: 28 Projects for Chic Décor on the Cheap (which can be purchased on
Amazon or borrowed from your library) is a fantastic guide for DIY wall décor. I used the project photos for inspiration but for beginners, or even kids, there are fantastic step-by-step instructions and even a whole bunch of full size templates.

I love the Subtle Shades one. I may have to buy that book myself. Like you, I normally find inspiration in books and magazines, but as I get older, I'm getting lazier. Templates don't sound half bad. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these ideas! I am always in search for new art around the house. Happy Wednesday! Carrie
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a great idea. I just finished painting a mug for my dad's birthday so I'm in the painting mood. This is great inspiration!

Oooh, I love the subtle shades idea! So fun for any room. I would love to paint an ombre dresser, too!
