A relatively new addition to wall art is word appliqués that you can buy already grouped in various sayings and expressions or design a phrase yourself.
Below is a grouping of grandchildren we did in a client's master bedroom. It's nice and simple with the shiny silver frames adding elegance to the room.
The group looks a bit unfinished and lacks a personal touch; lots of wood and glass for this space. Wouldn't it be nice if we could write something on the wall that was fitting to the smiles and wonders these four grandchildren bring to their grandparents?
I worked with Diane Johnson, a demonstrator from Uppercase Living. This company has hundreds of "beautiful expressions, striking images, and charming embellishments to turn your home into a reflection of you." Click on the link above to discover the "art of self expression." Diane would love to help you turn your home into a place that tells the world who you are.
Below is an appliqué I designed for those pictures above. It is composed of 9 individual elements in two contrasting colors, soft silver and slate gray. They are rubbed on the wall in a particular order. The letters are durable and can even be removed. Outdoor applications can even be purchased too.

LOVE THIS POST! I love this look. Thanks for sharing a link to get it.
Can you help those who love to collect? You know, those who find it difficult to throw out anything. Living in a small space requires minimilistic living and sometimes it is difficult to part with "treasures". Love this column!
I would love more ideas like this one. I have huge white walls and I'm not sure how to decorate them with pictures or art without it looking too cluttered or tacky. HELP! I love posts about how to use lighting as well.
