Handmade Art

Finding the right wall art might not be as hard as you think. I have found that there is nothing better than one-of-a-kind pieces to make a room. Gathering a collection of handmade art can be the perfect way to tell your story, and there might be a great pool of artistic talent right in your own home.

Turn your kids’ art projects into decor, and let their creativity tell a story. Create an art gallery that is made up of the work of your favorite little artists.

I love this simple butterfly garland—colorful wings of flight dance on a traditional backdrop, adding softness to the room.
