I am constantly scouring Pinterest for project, home decoration, and design inspiration. There is no shortage of good ideas out there, and it’s a perfect place for creative people to gather their ideas and share them with others.
Now, the goal with Pinterest is that you’re pinning these grand ideas to be implemented at a later date. I’m extremely good at finding crafty, new projects, and I’m also extremely good at finding a later date to implement them.
Even though much of our apartment is currently living inside large moving boxes, including all of my crafting supplies, I decided to finally give one of the projects I pinned center stage on my living room floor.
All it involved was paint swatches from Lowes, an X-ACTO knife, double sided tape, and a frame I already owned. You really can’t beat a project that involves free supplies and a little elbow grease.

Ok.. here’s the Pollyanna in me coming out, but what do the paint stores/hardware stores think of people taking gobs of paint swatches to use for art projects?
Well, in reality you don’t really need that many. I took maybe 15 swatches? Which isn’t any more than I would take if I was contemplating painting a room.
