More Wall Art



I am kind of obsessed with wall art. After my intense nesting I noticed just how bare the walls in my home are. So my quest for easy, fugal ideas began. Several blogs I like have some really neat ideas!
Hear is one, this is a groups of pictures from Ballard Design Catalog and Sarah from the Thrifty Decor Chick made it for much much less

All she used was, MDF board, and scrapbook paper, then nailed them directly to the wall. The Ballard Design cost $200, hers cost $25! So simple and affordable!



I came up with an idea for some art to go over my living room doorway

I bought wood letters that spell FAMILY each letter was $1.49

Then I got a 8 x 24 canvas for $4.99

Lastly whatever colors you want in acrylic paint, Michael's had then $0.77/ea


I will post pictures of the art when I am done,

so far I have painted the letters a Brick red mixed with white pearl.

I plan to paint the canvas a dark brown/bronze color

Affix the letter to the canvas then hang on the all!

Super Excited!

Wall Art


I must be nesting, I look at different blogs and go " OH I want to do that!" Today's moment was looking at these wall art ideas. I was thinking my bedroom is blah. Nothing decorative in it at all. The ideas I saw was actually a headboard. Basically wood, covered in batting, then wrapped with a pretty decorative fabric, stapled on the back and using picture hanging systems hung on the wall. I mean SUPER easy. So today I bought half of what I need, fabric and batting

I already have the staple gun, and need to get the picture hanging systems, and wood. I am going to Home Depot or Lowes tomorrow to buy scrap wood to make 4-12" squares and the hanging systems. I wonder just how many of my project I will get to finish. Still have to buy grommet for my No-Sew Curtains. Hopefully David give me till after tomorrow!
