Proudest DIY
Although she doesn’t consider herself artistically talented, Melissa was pumped to put together silhouette portraits of her kids for their upstairs bathroom. Could she have uploaded their photos to Minted and had their experts do it? Sure, but this was a simple, easy way to infuse personality in the home without the extra cost.
