Magazines
I'm getting ready for a huge summer (lots of traveling and crafting) so I'm reading as much as I can one of the books I love right now is Mark Montano's Big Ass Book of Home Decor. It's full of clever ideas for creating a custom look to your home. A definite check out either from your library or book store!
