How great is this living room of one of my readers, Linda?
She wrote to me: “I recently spied my old chalk board markers and randomly decided to draw on the glass of a couple picture frames. It ended up being super fun and I liked the look (a bit irreverent), so thought I would share with you. It’s so simple and something your girls might enjoy for personalizing existing framed pictures. And it wipes right off with a damp paper towel.”
I love this! It is endlessly exciting for me to see the creative ideas you guys come up with. Sometimes the blog world can feel a little stale and your submissions are like a breath of fresh air in my inbox! :) If you’d like to share one of your ideas, feel free to email me.
And for kicks, here are just a few more photos of Linda’s pretty living room. Man, I’m so loving dark wall color, always and forever.
Does Linda have a blog that we could enjoy? Already I love what I see here:)
How fun! I think I might try the markers on my frames too. Love it!
What a great space!!

That is a great wall color!
In high school I used to write and draw all over my bedroom mirror.
Love the mid mod chair with the parsons desk!

Great job, Linda! And can I tell you how much I am in love with dark wall colors right now? My husband and I repainted our bedroom in a deep greyish taupe last year, with a crisp white ceiling and white curtains and blue and orange accents, and I fall in love with it again every morning when I see it in the sunshine. Not to mention how cozy it is at night. Love!
Simple and brilliant at the same time.
this is so neat! love it. and i'm dying for a little bar like that :)
I am always amazed at the interiors laypeople (so, people who are not artists or interior designers!) can pull off! This gal needs a house tour :) Looks so cosy and fun.
I love that collection of vases on the shelf. So great!
Really cute, fun idea. Thanks for sharing it with LGN, Linda! Your room is also really well done. Looks comfy and elegant – a great combo.
Gorgeous home! Sometimes blog world does feel a bit stale and it's always nice to have 50 tabs open with new inspiring ideas to look at!
Great idea. Very sweet!
