"House Rules" Wall Art

I have been trying to come up with an idea of something I could put in my large 16x14 frame--(and two coinciding 8x10's)--- that hang on my wall. They once contained 2 year old photos of me and my husband and I was really feeling the need for a change. After weeks of deliberation this is what I came up with.

Typography is a big thing right now--especially in terms of "subway art"--and I took that into consideration when trying to decide on what I should create to put in my frames. I had seen something similar to this before and thought it was such a cute idea. It's a list of "house rules"---which could obviously be done with many different sayings/rules--but I choose to use those of which I felt appropriate to our home.

This one has an olive/moss green background to match the rest of my decor in the living room but could easily be changed to suit any color scheme. If you're interested in a copy, shoot me an email! I think this would make a great gift or a nice little addition to your own house.

Teaming Up: Whispering Walls Vinyl

I have been working with a friend of mine, Hayley, who owns a vinyl business along with her sister, Cami---Whispering Walls (see the button on the right hand column to check out some of their stuff, or click here) to produce a few designs I created initially for personal use and wanted to share them here.

I designed this as a gift to my parents for their 25th wedding anniversary. I choose a black marble tile and had the girls at Whispering Walls cut the graphic out of white vinyl. I loved the intense contrast of the two. It's very "now" yet still classic.


These next two are designs I created for the walls of our house, and while it's not the best quality photo, the utinsels below are cut from a metallic brassy-bronze vinyl (really pretty) and stand approximately 3 feet in height. I love how striking they are and how they serve as the focal point for my kitchen.


Below: I really loved this quote by Gordon B. Hinckley and wanted to incorporate it in a design where I could see it daily as a personal reminder. This is in black vinyl on an olive/moss green wall (although Cami later used this same design for her bedroom but in a blue vinyl, and it was really cute too). I love the whimsical yet contemporary feel it has to it.


Below: Here is a composition I created as a gift for our boss. Hayley then choose colors for it, cut from vinyl, and placed it on a tile. Two color variations can be seen below.



Of course, these were possible because of my collaboration with Whispering Walls. With the holidays fast approaching (or as a gift any time of the year, or for yourself) feel free to let us know if you are interested in purchasing vinyl crafts/decor, or would like custom vinyl graphics designed.
