Wall Art

Now that the room is coming together I need to do something about the one completely blank wall that we have going on here. I do not often find myself actually watching daytime television but tday when the Nate Berkus Show was on I found myself sitting down with my cup of tea taking some of the show in. And I am so glad I did. Today he featured another fellow blogger that does alot of fabulous stuff around her home. Destiny from A Place For Us Blog was on a segment of the show to demonstrate 3 of her favorite projects of 2011 and one of those projects was her Brown Paper Flowers and I though they were right up my alley. You can view her detailed tutorial here. Tonight I decided to try one and like how it turned out enough that I then thought I could incorporate it into our master retreat. I decided to try spray painting it in the same yellow color as our hamper and then mounting it on a blank white 12x12 canvas.

This is how it turned out:

This canvas is again a 12x12 sprayed in the same yellow. I then made a template of this design on my SILHOUETTE and cut it out on white vinyl. I found that the vinyl wasn't sticking to the paint very well so once I carefully got it all laid out I then put a thin coat of Mod Podge on it and let it sit for the night to dry.

And here they are hung up on the wall in a little grouping with a frame I had done up a couple f weeks ago when I was out picking up oaint chips to decide what color to go with on the walls. I chose all the ones I liked and brought them home to the room so I could test the color in the real light. Didn't see any reason for them to go to waste ;)

Not so bad for cosing me nothing!
