I'm BACK! At least I think I am... Just sort of "testing" the waters to see if I even remember how to do this! I can't believe I haven't post in almost a year... I so enjoyed all this, Life just got in the way, you know how that is... But, I so missed this and decided it was time to make time and get back to the things I enjoy, the things that make me, well me! I've been slowly getting back to Creating, and these books are a perfect creative outlet for me, I love getting out the paint, stencils and ink, dreaming up new designs... I've even been selling them in my Etsy Store! Actually selling, not just listing! This has been a real boost for my deflated sense of worth as an, (dare I say it out loud) Artist, me an artist? The dictionary Definition of Artist: 1. a person who produces works in any of the arts that are primarily subject to aesthetic criteria. 2. a person who practices one of the fine arts, especially a painter or sculptor. Well, I'm no painter or sculptor...But I am Creative, I really am... This is who I am, what makes me Happy! I love to create! So yes, from this day forward I'm going to think of myself as an Artist! (sort of) So, I'm back! I've missed sharing, I've missed visiting with all of Blogland, and I have a lot of catching up to do. So if you've stumbled upon my little post, leave me a message, so I can come visit, and catch up on all the things I've missed from all my Favorite Artists, and hopefully make some new Blogging Friends! Thank you so much for Visiting!

One of my love languages is a stack of vintage books! 📚 And no, I don’t read them, I just enjoy looking at them and decorating with them haha!

Books are one of the simplest ways to add some flair to your decor. When a desk, shelf, or nightstand seems in need of style, a stack of beautiful, coordinated books does the trick! There are certain books meant to be read but not displayed since the colors are a bit tacky or they don’t flow with your color scheme. So, for this post we wanted to make used books a decor piece by painting them and turning them into something we’d be happy to display! We always love giving old pieces new life and this also makes it such a budget-friendly DIY! Painted Book Decor What you’ll need: -Acrylic paint -Paint brush -Metallic gold paint marker -Unwanted books, in good shape.* *When looking for books to use, lose the sleeve to see what shape the book is in. Books with bent covers or tears won’t work as well. I would also recommend choosing books without embossed letters in the spine. If you paint over the letters, the indents will still show through. Directions: Lay the book flat and paint the cover and spine in your chosen color. I chose a vintage, neutral color palette since I envisioned mine for a bedroom with soft colors. Paint the book with 2-3 coats of […]

We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content. - Émile Zola
