Last week Ryan and I fled the city for a relaxing long weekend at Virginia Beach. No computers, no cell phones, no blackberries. It was refreshing – I didn’t think about the blog, didn’t worry about my ever growing list of DIY projects, or anything related to our jobs or hobbies. We just completely disconnected.
I did, however, work on our bedroom redesign project in a way. . . when one morning I awoke to enjoy the sunrise. Inspired by the photography in this Etsy shop, I took a crack at making some personalized art for use in our bedroom makeover.
I’m not sure which photo(s) I’ll use, but here are my options:
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
I’m leaning towards photo 4 or photo 5, but haven’t made up my mind yet. Either way, I’m super excited to be able to hang such a personalized photo in our space!
The sunrise made for some amazing photography opportunities that morning. You can check out more photos, and read about my trip, over here.

I LOVE #2. May steal your idea next time we make it to the beach. And I do not believe that you didn’t think about your blog. I think that’s a lie 🙂 Wish I could disconnect for a few days. Love you!
Oooh…I love the light you got in #4. It’s lovely!!! #1 is really sweet, too. What a great idea. 🙂
I’m leaning towards number 1. I like the lighting and the simplicity.
I swear to goodness, I truly did NOT think about blogging, projects or anything else. I was SO worn out, because it’s usually always on my mind, that I just left it behind in Northern Virginia for the trip. Don’t get me wrong, I love blogging and all my projects, but some times you just need a break.
What a great idea! I love these photos, wonderful saturated colors!
#2 is my ultimate favorite, but I love #5 as well!
FANTASTIC photos! What a wonderful idea, Jane! #1 is my #1 hehe
I like #3. The sand writing looks more natural. #5 is prob my second pic.
Doing a little catching up here–these are amazing photos! I love #2 b/c of the light, the richness of colors, the angle and the waves. Will go awesome with the new bedroom!
#2 is my favorite, hands-down!!! LOVE the idea! Wish I could get my butt out of bed that early at the beach!
[…] so I finally got our personalized wall art hung in our bedroom. Remember how I’d created personalized photos when I watched the sun rise on our beach […]
