I finally got to work on the rest of my office redecorating this week. I tweaked my fish tank by adding shredded book pages to hide the bottom. I also decoupaged the shelf of the fish tank with book pages.I then went to work on the wall behind the fish tank. I made some frames to combine with blue and black I purchased/had lying around. I painstakingly picked out several of my favorite book quotes. That was definitely the most difficult part! However, I chose eight quotes from Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris, Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Night by Elie Wiesel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I wanted them to look mismatched and fun, so I used varied fonts, images, and frames. Here are a couple:
There were a couple of other details I started working on, using the shredded book pages and weathered books (I actually stripped the binding off a book; I felt like a criminal!).
The finished product (well of one wall...)
