Home Decor

This challenge is going to prove slightly difficult for me. Not because I don't find inspiration from fellow bloggers, but because I don't usually take action on that inspiration. However, a few months ago I ran across an idea that I liked instantly and actually tried it. It also helped that it was really easy, thereby not too intimidating to me.
Here are the results:



All I did was turn the pictures black and white, adjusted the contrast, and printed them out on colored cardstock. I haven't done anything with them yet, but I do enjoy looking at them. My inspiration came from Amy (a blogger that I have never met). To see her original idea please click here.

I am the same way. I love to look at everyone's ideas but it is hard to find the time and really feel like I could do that too. These pictures are awesome though. Way to go!
