I did makeover an Ikea Rast dresser a few years back that fit the one wall we do have perfectly. We use it to hold all of our phone chargers, cords, headphones, etc. Mostly things we need to grab before heading out on a trip.
A few months back, I decided to change out the artwork that hung above the dresser. Again, I am limited with space as the light switch is on that wall. O
We originally had some colorful bird prints hanging in the space. (the rug has been since changed out as well, and I am considering updating the dresser...on the to do list)
I didn't want to spend a ton of money, so I decided to create my own. Easy peasy...a couple of my favorite quotes, Microsoft word, a cute font, and hit print! Pop them in the frames I already had and done.
I love the reminders when walking in and out the door.
I have to share a funny regarding these. My folks were here for Easter dinner. My mom happened to notice the prints, and a few others I have around the house. She asked where I got them. I told her I made them. She asked how? I told her on the computer...Microsoft word, pick a quote, pick a font, and print. She said, you can do that? Change the font? LOL My dad who is a computer genius, said "why yes, as soon as you learn to master your email!" Let's suffice to say, my momma isn't tech savvy. She still prefers her T-9 flip phone! UGH!!!

Great quotes! I love the mom story. She sounds like mine. xo
A perfect choice for above the chest! Love that you made them and the frames are great! Happy Tuesday!
I love great wall decor ideas! Favorite quotes are perfect. :)
Love your prints! Isn't is so neat that we can make our own? I love being able to create something like this so quickly. And my mom is the same way...up until a few weeks ago, she thought text messages and email were the same thing. She thought if someone texted her, it would show up in her email and vice versa. I'm STILL explaining her iPhone to her on a daily basis. Lol!
That is a difficult area to decorate but you've done so well! I love the prints and will definitely be doing some of my own. Cute story with your mom.
XOXO, Jennifer

Cute story although I can empathize with your Mom. It's the real techie things that get me...HTML, trying to change colors on the blog, etc. :)
Love your prints! I like to have inspirational things all around too. It's amazing how many people comment on them too.
