Wall Art

     Our bedroom walls need a little art. So does the living room. I've been looking online (especially Etsy) for ideas and inspiration. I tried my hand at watercolor painting in an attempt to DIY our art, but in the end decided that I probably need a lot more practice before creating a wall-worthy piece. There is a WPA print of Denali National Park that Daniel and I both like. At $40, it's a little more than I wanted to spend. After continued searching, I discovered an over-sized calendar containing this and 11 other prints for less than $20! I've pre-ordered the 2013 calendar and can hardly wait for it to come. Each print is 13x 19 inches. Three of them should look OK over the fireplace. Despite being reproductions of vintage prints, I am hoping that the bright colors and retro look will give our living room a younger, fresher vibe. We would like each one to have some kind of personal significance, so we'll probably hang the Blue Ridge Parkway picture with Denali.
