Today, I wanted to share a free Christmas printable with you. Our 8-year old daughter recently performed in a local production of Scrooge, so as a tribute to that experience, I wanted to somehow incorporate a little bit of Scrooge in our Christmas decorating this year. That sounds a bit bizarre, lol, since Scrooge gets a bad rap this time of year: “Don’t be such a Scrooge”, “Bah Humbug”, etc.. But, in the story, Scrooge eventually realizes the error of his stingy ways. Towards the end, he declares: “I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.” I’ve always loved those words, so I put them to paper, framed them, and displayed them on top of our hutch.
Wall Art Ideas + DIY Wall Art
Wall art ideas and DIY wall art tips and ideas. My favourite art with a focus on modern cottage and coastal lake house style.
Map Art and Mini-Masterpieces {Plus, in other news: 25 is the new 31!}
Have you noticed? Yup. I’ve fallen behind in this 31 Days of DIY Wall Art project. In my defense, I did warn you, lol. I really thought I could stay on top of posting every day for the month of October, but I’m realizing that I bit off more than I can chew.
So, I’m gonna put up the white flag, and state the obvious: I probably won’t get all the way to 31 DIY Wall Art Ideas before Halloween. I know, I know – I can hear the earth shattering beneath my feet :-). Instead, I’m now setting a more realistic goal of 25 Ideas. That’s a nice round number, don’t ya think?!?
Here’s two more diy wall decor ideas that I’ve talked about here before, and still LOVE.
Idea #21: Decorating with Maps
Decorating with maps has definitely been on trend over the past year or two, and I’m still smitten. There’s just something about a huge wall map – or a gallery wall of framed maps – that strikes all the right notes for me.
It’s a great way to add some visual interest in a child’s room or nursery.

A tisket, a tasket, it’s time to hang a basket! (DIY Wall Art Idea #17)
When I first saw a post by Melissa at the Inspired Room on how she used baskets as wall art on the entry wall of her craftsman-inspired home, I think I might have drooled a little (or, a lot). I LOVE Melissa’s style, and this wall is one of my favorite spaces in her home. Truthfully, I’d never really thought of hanging baskets on a wall, but when I saw this photo of her’s, I wondered why it wasn’t a more obvious choice for wall decor. (She even used one of the baskets to cover an annoying light switch – clever!)

This DIY Wall Art Idea is Really ‘Over My Head’! (Idea #16)
Are you on Pinterest like me? If so, you’ll understand what I mean when I say I had a “Pinterest moment” 🙂 when I first spotted this creative wall art idea in my pin feed earlier this year. I immediately wished I’d thought of it before filling my walls with all sorts of other things! Now I’ve got wall envy!
Do you know what this awesome ‘art’ is created from?

Framing Wall Art from Etsy Merchants (DIY Wall Decor Idea #14!)
Tonight, as part of my 31 Days Series on wall art, I promised to talk a little about my love of Etsy.
I know that if you are a decor blogger, or if you follow decor blogs, you already know what Etsy is. But I’m betting there are still a whole lot of other readers out there who haven’t discovered Etsy yet!
Etsy.com is an online market of thousands of creative merchants selling handmade and vintage items – anything from jewellery to furniture to clothing to wall art. You can find pretty much anything your little heart desires on Etsy!
Over the past few years, I’ve bought lots of things (that my little heart desired :-)) from Etsy merchants – like pillow covers, wall art, and, most recently, jewellery – and I’ve always been thrilled by the quality the products.
One of my favorite things to browse for (and buy) are prints. I just love the prints from Etsy merchants. It seems like I can always find a print on Etsy that works perfectly with my room decor or wall idea. That’s probably because there are so many different shops to pick from! I also love knowing that I am buying directly from an artist or designer. The care and craftsmanship of the pieces always reflect this.
My ‘Sunshine-Inspired’ Gallery Wall in my front porch is comprised of a number of Etsy-bought prints. When I decided that I wanted to create a themed wall grouping around ‘sunshine’ (see why here), I went to Etsy and searched for prints that reflected the sentiment I was after. I then framed them in salvaged frames that I spray-painted in gray, yellow and blue. Overall, it was a pretty affordable way to create a cohesive wall decor collection.
