It is only fitting that the artwork in the book corner be book related. So I framed the book jackets (or dust covers) from two of her favorite books:

| Fancy Nancy |

| Pinkalicious |
The one frame I had already spray painted white for another project but I didn't like it there so I didn't use it.
The other frame I got from a free pile in front of someone's house. I actually picked up 4 frames there, this being the smallest and a great fit for the Pinkalicous cover. I have several ideas of what to do with the other frames so stay tuned for that. As for this small frame, it was gold so I spray painted it white to match the other frame.
We just used 12x12 scrapbook paper that Sweetie Pie picked out, to matte the book jackets.

I really like the way it turned out. Her reading corner is looking great. The only other thing I want to do is replace the three tiered Ikea trofast storage unit with a comfy bean bag.

What a lucky girl to have her own reading corner! That is just too cute!! Those are both a couple of favorites at our house, too. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome reading corner you've created. I just found your blog on the links from wow me wednesday, great space you have here on the net. I am thinking of framing some vintage golden books I have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. This was such an easy project and the covers can be switched out as her tastes change.
ReplyDelete@Shannon - framing vintage books would be cool, I'd love to see it when you're done.
I just pinned and FBooked this. Thank you so much for sharing at Wow Me Wednesdays!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. Book jackets just always get destroyed.
