Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote

July 9, 2013 By Meegan 8 Comments

A few weeks ago Hubby was talking to his buddies at work.  They were commenting how they each have a “man cave”.  Then my husband popped up and said, “I don’t think I have a space in my house.”  I was already thinking about this, and feeling pretty guilty.  I have so much fun decorating our home, I really did forget to add his touch to our home.  I thought a great place to start would be our bedroom.  You know how much I love to work with book pages, so I made a Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote for above our bed.

This quote, “I’m Glad you caught that pass”  has special meaning to us.  When we met the first time, we were playing football with a bunch of mutual friends out on a grassy area.  Hubby and I were on the same team.

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteWe were tied at 14-14.

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteThe play Hubby called was for me to catch the ball in the endzone.  SO much pressure!!

I remember running towards the end zone, turning…

After our 3rd date, he finally kissed me, and again, he said,”I’m glad you caught that pass.”

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteAfter we were married driving to our reception, he said,”I sure am glad you caught that pass!”

So to add a little of Hubby to our room, I made this Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote.  Needless to say, he was so happy to see it hanging in our room.  By no means does this make our room a “man cave”, but it IS “us”, not just me.

I am also working on a few other ideas to bring his favorite color into our space.  I will be sharing that with you, too.

What is a favorite quote or saying that you could add the make your space more personalized?  Do you have a story that needs to be told and shared in your home?   I would love for you to tell me.

Thanks for stopping by today.
