One of the things I’m most excited about once the larger construction projects around our house are finished is focusing on smaller creative efforts that bring personality and warm memories into our freshly updated rooms.
Most of our walls will have been repainted within the last year or two — that previous SWINE color never inspired me. Having newly painted walls as a starting point makes me eager to personalize our space with accessories, furniture, family photos and keepsakes. I’m genuinely excited for this next phase!
My approach to home decor is simple: when life inspires home, our home inspires life. Adding handmade accessories and art gives our rooms a sense of personal history and meaning. A home should reflect who we are and the life we live.
I love discovering bloggers who celebrate authentic, creative approaches to making a home feel personal. I’ve featured the work of Jamin and Ashley Mills (The Handmade Home) many times because their style and projects always inspire me. Their ideas for curtains, play spaces, kitchens and chalkboard projects are endlessly charming, and their fresh, handmade aesthetic is exactly what I look for when collecting ideas for our own house.
Their blog truly sparks creativity.
The way they display family photos in painted, handmade frames and arrange other crafted items on their walls is a big part of why I love their work. So when I learned they compiled an ebook called Handmade Walls featuring 22 projects you can try at home, I was thrilled.
The projects in this book are absolutely delightful. Each one includes step-by-step instructions, photos, paint color suggestions and supply lists, making them approachable for a wide range of skill levels. After browsing it, you’ll likely feel inspired to create your own handmade walls.
These projects would also make wonderful, thoughtful handmade gifts for the holidays.
Handmade Walls features 22 projects across more than 250 pages filled with inspiration, clear instructions and practical tips for making beautiful handmade pieces for your home. Presented as an easy-to-use PDF, it offers an accessible, affordable guide for anyone wanting to add a handcrafted touch to their rooms.
If you’re ready to begin creating handmade walls in your home, this ebook is a friendly, realistic resource to guide you through the process. Enjoy the projects, and please share if you try any of them!
