DIY Idea | Book Pages Wall

soarSoar Plaque by Shanna Murray.

I'm doing a series this month called, Something Special where I visit the blogs of this month's Home Sweet Home market participants and pick out something special I see from their site (if they have a blog) or I ask them to reveal something to me if they don't. I hope to do some posts revealing something on all of them if they are game, be it a tutorial, d.i.y. project, studio tour, house tour or maybe just sharing their favorite recipe. So the first one out of the bunch is from Shanna Murray. Visiting her blog, the first image I saw was this bed (in her studio). And what struck me was the entire scene. The walls with pages out of the book Pride and Prejudice (I'm told after I approached her - I love that wall), mixed in with the grey sheets, whites and creams. It all just works so well. That's something special.

Then of course there is her beautiful arts and crafts. The pillows, plaques and prints. All so beautiful. You can see more of her work here this month at Poppytalk Handmade or visit her etsy shop here.

This room reminds me of the houses we used to rent on the Cape when I was a girl; probably a combination of the floor boards, the breeziness, and the books (while they didn't line the walls, those rooms are certainly infused with books).
