Literary Decor

August 09, 2017 by Amanda Zieba

My word nerd tendencies can be found in pretty much every aspect of my life. Where I spend my time, how I spend my money, what I choose to talk about… usually revolves around the almighty word.

Last October we moved into our new house, and this summer as we were getting ready to host a family reunion breakfast (for around 40 people!) I realized that I still had a bit of decorating to do. I also noticed that quite a few of my decorations leaned toward the literary persuasion. And because I am not shy about my word-nerdy-ness… I decided to share them with you.

1.       A framed poem, written for me by The Roaming Poet while on vacation in Denver, CO. It sits on my bed side table. The frame is from Hobby Lobby.

2.       A close-up of the framed page art I purchased at Target last week. 

3.       The three pieces of framed page art, as they hang from above the mirror in my bathroom.

4.       A printer box, that used to hold letters for a printing press, now hold my knickknacks, including a metal bookmark, now re-purposed as a decoration.

5.       In my basement, book cases and copies of my books (framed by my husband as a gift to me each time one is published) help to decorate the space.

6.       A poster autographed by my favorite author hangs on a wall to decorate my yet to be finished writing space.

7. This massive Z was one of the first pieces I bought for our new home. It was from the craft and hobby store, Michaels, but I don't believe you can buy them anymore. 

8. This word-art was a house warming gift from a friend and accented by shelves and gold tipped feathers from Target. The phrase could not be more perfect. Thank you, Lisa!

9. This final item was also a house warming gift from one of my long time friends, Sarah. She knows me pretty well, huh? Thank you fellow word nerd, for adding to my literary decor collection. 

** I'm not sure where my friends purchased these gifts (#8 and #9), but if we are lucky, they might chime in, in the comments below. :) **

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

What’s your obsession? Does it show up in your home décor? Comment with a picture below! Until next time nerds, happy writing and happy decorating!
