Look what arrived in the mail today!
I’ve been eying these adorable custom state prints from Lily Gene for months now. And last week I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a map of California. I chose the “Sapphire” background with our hearts in “Clementine.” Poor Jason, I asked him what color he liked and he loved the “Deep Sea” as the background but I decided to go with the color I wanted, ultimately. He asks me why I bother getting his opinion with things for the house if I already know what I want to do! He’s got pretty good taste {for the most part!} and I like to have him involved or at least get his opinion :) And I do take his advice every so often!
I have a few white Ribba frames from Ikea hanging around waiting for a gallery wall, so I used one of them and just popped my new state silhouette in the frame and hung it up on the wall on a nail left over from the previous owner. Kinda tacky, I know. I am planning on painting this wall and before I have everything that is going up here I don’t want to add more holes!
I asked if we could add two hearts…One for the city where we met {since we’re both from the bay area, a heart in this general area works for that too!} and one for where we live now. Also, both our families still live in the bay area, so it’s a little sentimental nod to them, as well!
It’s hanging on a small wall in our family room above my little secretary desk. I’m working on making a gallery wall of interesting art, etc., and it’s slowly coming together. I’ll show you once I have the last few pieces that will complete this project.
For $35.00 + shipping and tax, I have a cute custom piece of artwork that is unique and personal to my little family that I get to enjoy every day! And I got it in about 4 days from order date to delivery date! Can’t beat that!
Absolutely adorable! I may have to steal this idea…
