Hidden [talents and changes]

Like I said yesterday, I've been trying my hand at more DIY projects. I'm living in my own place, a studio loft in Kansas City's charming River Market area, for the first time alone and I really want to make it mine. I love it here. But it is constantly evolving, I'm far from done with it.


My favorite and most successful project so far (though it does remain unfinished...) is my book page wallpaper.

I've always been an avid reader, I love books and when I saw this idea here and here, I knew I had to try it.

It just took some vintage books

Some Mod Podge (obsessed), and a bit of patience.

It is, obviously, unfinished. Mainly because I decided I wanted to use books I love for the areas of the wall that will be readable. So far, The most prominent page is from The Great Gatsby, and has my favorite passage from that--and maybe any--book.



Next, I really want to try this. I think it's awesome!

Anyway, we shall see. But for now, I'm leaving the improvements up to professionals. Alas, there's some things I just can't do myself. 

Before...

After. Sigh.
