Cookbook Display

We love cookbooks.  We may only use a few of our favorites, but we love to collect them.  They personalize a kitchen and give it a little more "homey-ness. 

There are so many ways to display them...Here is some eye candy for you.

"Before I Die" Wall

A special artist and activist, Candy Chang, developed an idea for positivity on the streets of New Orleans.  This large chalkboard wall is an interactive public art project that takes the place of  less "desirable" street art or vandalism.  I think it looks amazing. 

What a thoughtful idea.  Just a little post of hope for the new year.

We are thankful here at in your back pocket.

Interesting Gallery Wall

Katie, over at Thirteen Acres, has a great gallery wall in her kitchen that I had to share.  i think it is clean, cute, thoughtful.

White frames from Ikea.

Love how it looks from this angle.
