For the longest time, the walls in my living room were pretty bare and I just kept drawing a blank as to what to do with them. Over Christmas break, my husband mounted our tv which got me in the mood to start decorating. Doing that one thing really made a bit difference in our living room. We bought a media console to go under it and our living room was finally starting to come together.
On Thanksgiving I had asked my dad to build me a mantle shelf for the wall opposite the tv. I know that it was easy enough to do ourselves but knew that we wouldn’t have the time before Christmas to do it and well……….I kind of wanted it like yesterday so my dad came to the rescue. “While you’re at it………….could you bring me an old window if you happen to have one?” (which I knew he did! He built my mom a greenhouse with a bunch of old windows he collected and I knew he had to have a few kicking around. I was right!)
Here’s what I got Christmas Eve (I was like a little kid on Christmas morning!)
The candle sticks I picked up at Burlington for $9.99 (total bargain). Finally a place to decorate for the holidays (yeah!!!!!!!!!!!) and for everyday stuff as well. I decided to do a little something for Valentine’s Day. I didn’t spend any money to do this. I just did a little shopping around the house and in the basement.
The text on the subway art is from 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. I love this because I can keep it up throughout the year because God’s Word is for everyday, not just for holidays. I had the frame downstairs and I had that bouquet of red roses in the basement also. That thing is so old! lol But I’m glad I held onto it all this time.
And how about another view….
{i since removed the “laugh” sign after looking at these pictures but I’m loving the look of this shelf.}
I’m sharing this “Love” printable with you so all you have to do is right click on the subway art below and “save as”. It will print on regular 8.5x11 paper.
UPDATE: A few of you had trouble when printing. I'm not sure why but I've added 2 links for you to use instead of doing "save as". If you had trouble with the original file, but had success with either the download files below, please let me know which worked for you. Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteThat shelf looks fab and thanks so much for the printable, I will be sharing this link on my blog for sure =o)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. I love your choice of verse and the "art" of fonts you used. I usually make my own subway art; but I found this one to be so beautiful I had to use it instead. Thanks again, I'm sure it will be well enjoyed in my home for many years to come.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this printable!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I was wondering if it would be possible to get it in a higher resolution...it was coming out a little fuzzy:(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteCrytal, I created it in 300 dpi which is sufficient for printing. I printed it myself at home and it came out clear. :) Possibly an issue with your printer?
ReplyDeletelovely for sure, thank you
ReplyDeleteI love this, but mine is coming out blurry too and I did exactly as you said. :-( So bummed. I do this kind of stuff often too, so I know I'm doing it right. So bummed I cannot use it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I meant to add that it's only saving at 63.7KB, which I think is too small for that big of a print.
ReplyDeleteOh boo! Some people printed it and had success. Weird. Let me see what I can do. :)
ReplyDeleteoh this is perfect, perfect, perfect!
ReplyDeleteWeird! I wonder if they all printed it the size of a full sheet? No worries, just wanted you to know what it did when I tried!
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: i just added new ways to download the file so please let me know if either of those ways work. Thanks!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust tried printing both. The PDF printed super clear! Yay! The JPG (now saving at 100KB) printed better, but still blurry.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Heidi, did you have to resize the PDF?
ReplyDeleteI just did "fit to page" on my print menu, but that's easy! Better too large than too small!
ReplyDeleteThanks for both links! I had trouble opening the PDF* and therefore could not print from that link but the JPEG printed beautifully crisp and cute without any need to re-size;)
ReplyDeleteI used the pdf & it printed great! Thank you so much!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this printable. Is it possible for me to buy a copy from you in a different color. I want to be able to leave it up year round, however, the red font does not go with any of the decor in my house. I would be willing to pay you for your services. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely printable! I printed out two copies and framed one, then decoupaged the second onto a vase. We're using it as a "kindness" activity to help teach the kids how to be generous with each other. You can see it on my blog--
