DIY 

Projects 

After we moved into our new home, I wanted to add framed artwork throughout our main living spaces. Unfortunately, it didn’t make financial sense at the time to spend potentially thousands of dollars to buy them brand new. So I ordered digital prints on Etsy, enlarged them, and built frames by hand for each of them.
