I was introduced through Twitter last week to Infarrantly Creative, a fun blog that features crafts and other projects and is written by Beckie, a mom who lives in the Indianapolis suburb closest to my city 
home. (Thanks to Laura at ChambanaMoms.com for the intro!)
I was particularly struck by Beckie's "Game Board Storage Art" project, which is just what it sounds like.
Beckie framed some of her family's favorite board games to serve as art in the game room and then stored the game pieces in a recess in the back. Brilliant!
You can find complete instruction's at the Infarrantly Creative post. But if you don't have all tools or skills to try it Beckie's way, try this same project with some pre-made frames.
Here are some other great links to check out:
- Another fellow Hoosier blog, Atomic Indy, has a great preview of this month's 20th Century Cincinnati mid-century furnishings show.
The beautiful Colour Me Happy blog had a wonderful post about what she calls happy colors. "The colours we are decorating with in 2010 are from a fresher and cleaner palette, which are happy colours!" designer Maria Killam says in the post.
- One of my favorite blogs, Splendid Willow, has a post showcasing some phenomenal wallpaper selections, including beautiful options from the Swedish store Tapetorama. The post includes the geometric Alhambra Quasi Nero paper at right.
