Book-Lover Meets Home Decor

There are times when I finish reading a book and I want to wrap myself with that vibe, that something-something—that feeling that I had when I was reading the book. I look around, and my entire world has shifted, or, in a recent case, my room looks different.

I wanted my walls—yes, my walls—to represent the way that I felt during that book. So, what did I do? I fell down a rabbit hole on this beautiful thing called the internet and wondered if anyone else has felt this way or had this idea. I again found very little inspiration and knew what I had to do. I had helped the beautiful weirdos of the world find their new inspiration.
