:::SOME INSPIRATION FOR YOU:::

I am always  amazed by the creativity I see on etsy.  So many talented people out there and so many unique things to use for your home that are decorative or practical.

Check out this chalkboards.  I think they are totally cool and have never seen anything like it before.  They are chalkboard tablets.

No more searching for scrap paper or buying writing tablets or post-its.   I think these are really unique and functional.

You can purchase them from Peg and Awl on etsy at the link below.

Home Decor Inspiration from blogland..

When last years Pottery Barn catalog came out I fell in love with those subway wall art signs. They had different kinds with different names of streets of a certain town. There was another one that had a hand pointing on it with verbage. They were very cool. Here is one similiar from art style.I tried to think of a way I could make them myself cause there was no way the hubs was letting me spend that kind of money on something decorative...and rightfully so. Well, I ran ways to make it in my head, but they weren't efficient or even do able. I have since been surfing in the wonderful world of blogland and I am hear to tell you that two wonderfully creative ladies have been gracious enough to share how they did it. Each one gives step-by-step directions with great pics to go along with it. So, if you are wanting some DIY art to display in your home give their links a read.
