I had an idea to make it my own, and guess what?! I FINALLY did it! I just blogged about it (3/19/11), and I'd love if you would take a look! This is my first attempt at DIY home decor and you were such an inspiration in opening my eyes to all of the possibilities!

I do the same thing and re-create Pottery Barn as well b/c the prices are outrageous, yet I looove the looks they present. Yours are just as cute if not cuter! Keep up your beautiful work.

So the paper that you put on the board, did you buy it already designed or di dyou paint the paper after you put it on the board? It looks like the paper covers the entire boared, why did you spray paint a brown boarder?<br /><br />I don't think it need to be framed I love it how it is.Lisa Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804271783316686349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-24633789173333023992009-07-27T03:57:52.985-04:002009-07-27T03:57:52.985-04:00love this project!!!
