Have you seen all of the Ballards and Potter Barn knock offs using book pages? 

Here’s mine.

Take one crazy ugly painting on a wooden frame from your favorite thrift store.

Look through all of your favorite books and pull out some meaningful bits. (thrift store will also come in handy here, if you don’t want to destroy your books.)

Try 5,000 different collage layouts.

Double stick tape.

Tah dah!

I like it! This morning I enjoyed looking at it while also watching my favorite movie- The Young Victoria. I didn’t watch the royal wedding…get up at 4? Are you nuts? I did get my British pomp and ceremony on though- I love that beautiful, beautiful movie.
