So, at my local thrift store last week, I was hunting for art that I could put in my master bathroom. I gave up at the store quickly when there wasn't much art that day to choose from and my three boys were with me creating trouble. When I took them to the book section, I was happy to find this book for $1!!

Most of the right side pages have beautiful color illustrations (26 total!!) with a caption that has the name of the bird and it's size. I can't wait to frame a whole wall of them. They could look sort of like this one on the bookshelf in our master bedroom in our old house:
And the great thing about framed nature illustrations, is that they are pretty timeless. You see them all the time at antique stores:

Framing could be done with black and gold to mimic an antique:

| halkramer.com, "Exotic Antique Reproduction Naturalist Framed Art . . ." |
The best part is that there are so many types of decorating that bird art works with:
 |
| birchandbird.com, "Decorating with Yellow" |
 |
| pamelaspunch.com, "Home is Where the Heart Is" |
 |
| shannonberrey.com, "How to Create Sharpie Wallpaper" |
 |
| cozamia.com, "Magpie Jay Gold" |
 |
| portlanddomesticity.blogspot.com; "A Vintage Bedroom" |
 |
| bhg.com, "Decorating White Spaces" by Centsational Style |
Now that I've been able to use my existing art for the master bathroom, I can dream of filling up some other wall in the house with this art . . .
