{Trends} My version of the subway art craze

{{forgive the stinky pictures in this post…cruddy weather and a tired photographer :) }}

I love all the subway art that’s out there right now.  I wanted to do one for our home, I just could never decide on what I wanted.  One for the living room?  the kids’ rooms?  kitchen?  I did want it to have meaning.  Finally it hit me…numbers.  You see, we are an Army family.  In our {almost} 15 year marriage we have lived in six different houses.  Really not that bad for the Army.  Six houses, six house numbers.

side note:  I have this thing…I don’t want to put anything up in the house if it doesn’t have meaning for our family.  Because we do move so much, I like to make the house home-y.  So no matter what house we are in, it feels like home.  Like they say, “Home is where the Army sends you!”

That would be my subway art!  I painted a large canvas I bought at the craft store an off-black color…24X36 inches.  I pulled out the trusty Cricut and got to cutting.  I used plain white cardstock.  Then I mod-podged the numbers on.  I love how it all came together.  I’m also glad I went with the ‘nineteen’ written out.  You see, our actual house number on that house was written out above our door  {{meaning!}}.

I hung it alone on the landing of the stairs.  LOVE!
