Graphic art and typography are getting more and more popular every day. I tried my hand at a typography painting project awhile ago for our living room and I LOVE the way it turned out. So, when brainstorming for ideas to fill Greta’s uninspiring walls, I knew that I wanted to have at least one graphic piece of art in there.

Once I had everything just the way I wanted it, I printed it out and framed it. The other day I was at the ReStore and I found a bunch of frames for $1! I brought them all home and spray painted them white, so they all match and are ready for finished projects. Now, one is a home to this graphic beauty.

Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Awesome. I did a lot of work similar to this in my Typography class in graphic design school. I love Typography, it is probably one of my favorite things as far as graphics goes. You did a great job. :-) Nice to have another artist in the blogosphere! http://www.justhadabrightidea.blogspot.com
NOT KIDDING AT ALL…can you make me one for Boo boo?? I LOVE that. It is AWESOME!
Ready for your most random commenter? I found your blog through a vegan blog I follow- I don’t even remember her name– but I recognized you– I served in Pittsburgh a long time ago– your dad was my bishop and I loved your family– anyway…we’re pregnant too, and probably naming the babe George– another G name. I’m so tempted to do this for his nursery. Thanks for the idea. By the way, I totally love your blog. You’re hilarious and creative and your family is beautiful!
