So since everything doesn't stay in one spot for long around here....
I rearranged the living room and the bedroom about a month ago. Furniture was swapped around, leaving a blank hole behind the piano.
Now:
The piece of art looks so nice hanging there.
I did forget to remove those empty frames. Oops! They were left over from my frame gallery wall on the opposite side of the living room {that has been removed}.
Where did I get it?
My imagination and my hubby!!
I asked if we could use boards that we got from our neighbor {yup still have a few left!!}
I have some of this left:
And of course this:
I knew I wanted a design on it, something leafy...I attempted free handing it...and well, it was so bad that I didn't even take a picture of it. {the kind of bad that your hubby just looks at it while wondering how did leaves end up looking like pillows on sticks}
My fireplace screen was begging to be painted-
Now:
{yup..that's a blue candle in there!}
Can you guess what I did?
I placed the fireplace screen over the center of the boards and lightly painted!
Super easy...and it looks a whole lot better than half deflated pillows on sticks, haha!!
Can't get much better than the cost either!!
F.R.E.E.!!
gotta love those kinda things!
As soon as I get a couple more things done {big news..huh!?} I'll show you how the living room is shaping up!!
Off to take care of this little beauty..She's been complaining of a 'head-ick' {translation: headache}
Linking up to {links will work as they become available!}
Happy Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteLove this Jessica! So creative! Your fireplace is wonderful...totally wish I had a mantel.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, if you painted that wood paneling your room would look even better.....
