It’s the first Friday of the month, which means it’s time for our latest Year of Change project announcement! To read more about the Year of Change project, you can jump over to this post where I described it in more detail. While you’re at it you can check out our projects from March, April, May, June, July and August.

This month, I’m excited to announce that we are going to all focus on a piece of DIY art. I know this is something that intimidates many, but we are going to attempt to prove that really anyone can create art for their home that they will love. I’ve created some on my own in the past (here and here), so I feel slightly less intimidated this time around. In addition to the usual lovely ladies (Suburban Bitches, Commona My House and Rosa Beltran Designs) we will be joined by Jen Allyson from The Project Girl!

Here are some looks I am contemplating for this project:

I need some large pieces in several locations throughout our home, so who knows? Maybe I’ll get crazy and make more than one piece of art (…says the person who still hasn’t finished her August project. Ahem).

Lastly, if you haven’t already entered, be sure to enter the Signature Style giveaway for your chance to win over $1,200 worth of amazing items. There will be five winners to share in all the goodness.  I hope you all have a great weekend!

If you would like to follow along on more of my home decor, DIY, lifestyle and other posts, I’d love to have you follow me on any of the following:

    Can’t wait to see what you do! I am one of those that has been intimidated when trying some DIY artwork. Maybe you will become an artist through all of this! 🙂
