{"product_id":"no-place-like-home-journal-project","title":"No Place Like Home Journal Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike many people, every few years I get the urge to spruce up my house a little and redecorate. Before I can execute my vision, however, I have to do my favorite part, which is gathering inspiration. While I continuously add ideas to a Pinterest board, there’s nothing quite like a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mixed-media-supplies\/\"\u003ephysical journal\u003c\/a\u003e to hold my thoughts and design concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI recently felt compelled to do a little makeover on our living room to make it feel more cozy with the arrival of autumn. My first step was to start a journal where I could keep possible color palettes, textile ideas, and other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/diy-inspiration\/\"\u003einspiration\u003c\/a\u003e. And, of course, I couldn’t leave the cover of the journal alone, so I decided to decorate it a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, I painted the journal cover with two layers of white acrylic paint, letting each layer dry in between. Next, I applied watercolors to the journal cover using a very wet paintbrush, and then dabbed the excess paint with a paper towel. When the cover was thoroughly dry, I tore some of my painted paper scraps into house shapes, and adhered them to the cover. Windows were cut out from cardstock and details were added with a pencil. To finish, I adhered words cut out from book text to the cover. I can’t wait to fill the journal with all of my ideas for my living room and am excited to see which ones come to fruition!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452543754391,"sku":"PROJ-1364","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/20240920_trending_03__38704.1727206648.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746794357","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/no-place-like-home-journal-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
