Sometimes projects are really hard and time consuming.
But this project – Printer’s Box Word Art – was as easy as it gets.
The only time consuming part was figuring out the easiest way to do it.
I have been working on another gallery wall – this time in our office. One little corner is just about done. There is lots of bright color and pattern so I want to contrast the color with graphic black and white. And, I have a things for surrounding myself with words. Gentle reminders throughout the day. I have this belief that there will be times when the words we surround ourselves with will be just what we need.
So, I took a vintage printer’s box and spray painted it black. But really any color will do. Or, you could just leave it natural wood.
And then I used scrapbook letter stickers to spell out the words.
And then, I hung it on the wall.
Yup, it is that simple.
“Do Small Things with Great Love” is a quote by one of my heroes, Mother Theresa.
So many wise words came from her mouth and so many wise deeds came from her hands.
I am not sure who exactly said “Love what you do”. Do you know?
But just for fun and just in case it is exactly what you need to read today, here are some other wise words from Mother Theresa.
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
― Mother Teresa

Love this!
Ah! It’s fate! I have one of these printer’s boxes that I have been trying and trying to figure out what to do with (is that a real sentence?). Your blog came along at the perfect time!! Thank you so much!
Great piece and I love the sayings. Mother Theresa was so wise, thanks for sharing.

Well, this is just about as cute as it gets! LOVE it! I was just at an antique store yesterday and saw loads of these. Cute idea!
I am so in love with this! It’s unique,creative and beautiful. I can’t wait to see the whole office!
LOVE this! My oldest daughter has a printers box that she is always wondering what she can do with. I am going to show her this! She is going to love it! Life to the full! Melissa
Just love the printers tray and the quote is the best!….I so regret selling my printers trays before our big move….Great job as usual Laura!
I LOVE THIS!!!! I saw this and literally gasped! It’s brilliant. I have a printer’s box I love, but I didn’t want such a big space of brown in this room. Genius! And the quote, too! Genius!!! Laura, I am sorry to have to do this, but I am going to have to copy you on this one. Is that okay? I’ll link back here of course so everyone is sure that I wasn’t the genius behind this idea. Also, can I use one picture (with link) from this post to show your original idea? Because I HAVE to do this for my craft room. LOVE. ~Angela~
I’m so glad I saw this! I have several of these 🙂

If you desire enough performance to experience games
and so are about the budget, you are able to always go for this particularly if’re an NVIDIA fan. com that also offers details about unlocking any additional cores. Other reviewers have noted a small difference between the low CAS latency DDR2 and the standard DDR3 that this supports.
Wonderful post however I was wondering if you cojld wrire a litte more on his subject?
I’d be vvery thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more.
Cheers!
