Lucy the Valiant Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 :) For my mud room. :) I want a big wall quote in the middle, and then I'm going to surround it with shelves for the kids' nature treasures. I kinda like this one . . . "The poetry of earth is never dead." - John Keats I also like Joyce Kilmer's tree poem. Other ideas? THANK YOU in advance! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
