What to do this weekend? Hmmmm, I've been thinking about getting some Sharpies and decorating our walls with some drawings - now, that's a fun and productive way to spend one's time. I've been endlessly inspired by these images...
From Anthropologie '08 catalogue
I'm officially in love with these walls.
I didn't think it could get better, but it does.
Aren't these simple murals stunning?
All photos above from '08 Anthropologie catalogue.
Then I remembered seeing photos of Charlie Kratzer's incredible basement murals on some design blog about a year ago:
All done with $10 worth of sharpies (see the full story here)
I'm more and more convinced that I should do something like this to our hall, bedroom, kitchen and any other wall I come into contact with.
Wait, don't go anywhere, I've got more...
I adore this one! From Do It Yourself site, click on their site to find the full instructions.
But, wait...
... walls designed by London artist Charlotte Mann with her magic markers...
Incredible.
This room just blew me off my feet.
Detail.
Charlotte Mann, this is amazing!
I'm so eager to get a little (or big!) project going in our household, but before I start drawing on walls, maybe I should first check with my husband. :D
Come to think, this is an ultimate revenge on my childhood and all the times I wanted desperately to draw on my bedroom walls but was not allowed to. Fun!

Oh Tina. I love all of these...I remember the Anthropologie but never saw the others. I wish I could "import" you to draw on my walls. I'm frustrated with this eggshell vanilla junk. (My bedroom is nicely done but the rest of the apt. yuck.) Now I'm thinking I don't want to paint...hmmm. But I could not do it personally. I hope you do some drawing on your walls & let us see...
xoxo

I love them, I did draw on the walls as a kid and got in a lot of trouble for it!
