New Find---Postertext Artwork

Hello, lovelies!

Let's get caught up a bit, shall we?  So, November was gone in a flash for us.  We apologize for the spotty posting.  Life is crazy!  Here's an update:

Jill's work schedule is b-a-n-a-n-a-s.  Seriously, bananas!  She's been working on special projects at work, and she and the husband have had very full weekends, too.

I (Kari) am in a strange state of limbo.  Our house in California sold in less than three days on the market (we were NOT expecting that!) and so we are in escrow on two homes right now---the one we are selling in California and the one we are buying in Colorado.  I'll talk more about the crazy project house we are trying to buy in Colorado once it has closed and we actually have the keys---there have been some unexpected things that have come up with this Colorado property so I won't really feel like it's in the bag until we have the keys in hand.  Hopefully, that will happen next week.

Regardless, I can't help but think about moving into a new space and making it home.  In the new house, we are hoping to have a dedicated "kid area."  No, we don't have kids (maybe someday) but we do have a lot of children in our life between a nephew, nieces, and lots of friends' little ones.  Anyway, we'd love to have a really fun area where tykes can play, build forts, and make a mess.  (Our California house was never very kid-friendly and while I think I'll always want impractical, nice things I do think that offering a fun, comfy atmosphere eclipses the desire to have impractical things).

So, anyhoo, in some quick internet browsing, I have stumbled across some very, very fun posters.  Jill and I are readers---especially Jill.  (I am a big reader by most people's standards, but Jill is truly fanatic when it comes to books.  She reads like no other I know!)  We both love the classics, so these posters are awesome!  They are graphic and would look awesome in lacquered frames on a fun colored wall.  They are the silhouette of a scene that represents one of the classics and the background is made up of text from the book.  So fun!

Here's a closeup:

 And here's the poster for Little Women:

 Here's how the poster for Pride & Prejudice looks on the wall:
Great scale, right?  I'd put a little thicker frame with it, though.

 I love this one referencing The Wizard of Oz!  So fun!

Wouldn't a series of these be so great in a playroom?  Fun and whimsical, but there's a sophistication that would be great for a room that needs to do double-duty (like a play room that also is a guest room).
Fun, right?
