I told you how much I value your comments and suggestions last week. This week, I want you to help me with a little DIY project that’s been up my sleeve for over a month now. We have a blank wall in our entryway/living room just calling out for some large scale artwork.
I’m really drawn to the idea of DIYing a custom print. This is my inspiration…
The “money can’t buy me love” plywood art is just perfect for making a huge statement on an otherwise empty wall. What a focal point! And it’s inexpensive, too…always up my alley. I think painting an inspirational quote on a big canvas dropcloth could work just as well – and be even cheaper! So, that’s my plan. Handy Hubby and I want a phrase that’s special to us and holds meaning. We’ve narrowed it down to 3 phrases but are requesting your help to choose the one that will end up on our wall. That’s right, peeps, you get to pick what our art says! Here are your choices:
1) “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”
2) “You make me happy when skies are gray.”
3) “But why can’t every day be just this good?”
1 & 2 are from bedtime songs we sing to our boys. 3 is from a Travis Tritt (yeah, I’m a country girl at heart) song that never gets old and was a crowd pleaser back in our college days. Vote for the one you think would be best for our home.
You have until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Sunday, September 26th, to vote as many times as you’d like. I’ll reveal the winning phrase sometime next week, so stay tuned…
