Home is the Nicest Word There Is

July 27, 2012

We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

You may have noticed, there wasn’t a chalkboard drawing this month.  Oops!  I am not saying there won’t be any more of those, because there will be, but I have also been wanting to focus on making other high quality prints available to you and your home.  So, while there might not be a chalkboard drawing every month added to our Etsy shop, there will definitely be a new print (and hopefully new paintings) added each month.
 
This month’s print features the great author, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s quote “Home is the nicest word there is” and we couldn’t agree more. The vintage wallpaper spelling out the word, “Home” juxtaposed with the clean white space and paired with a classic font makes this contemporary, high-quality 11×14 print perfect for any home. Wherever that home may be.

This print was designed with falling onto your bed, a home-cooked meal, snuggles on the couch and familiar smells and faces all rolled into one by Andrea Hernandez of Doublclik–my sister!

I am still looking for a perfect spot for ours, but it looks kinda cozy on our built-ins, don’t ya think?

Get yours here.
Happy Weekend, friends.

    Hey Julia!

    We still have not gotten together yet, but I see you are busy:-)

    Just yesterday, we were pulling up to the house we live in right now and joel shouted “Home!” It was such a sweet moment where Pete and i felt like Joel knew no matter where we are, if we are together we are “home.” (because…as you might have noticed, we move and travel a lot :-)
