It is done and hanging back on the wall.
I wrote last week (creating the background) about this piece of wall art
that just needed to be changed.
Why not do some thrift store shopping right off my own wall, right?
Pretty convenient. :)
I knew once I had created the background, I just wanted to paint some very simple flowers, nothing too realistic. I used a new set of inexpensive watercolors that I bought at Joann's, graphite pencil, and pens.
I love using the watercolors!
I think it is fabulous that this...
Turned into this...
And the best part - it was free. :)
I am having a great time reworking some things
I have around my house.
I have around my house.
I am feeling like I need to change it up a bit. It is just time to make my surroundings reflect more of where I am now, what inspires me, and what brings happiness to my family.
I am finding all kinds of inspiration on so many blogs & Pinterest (come follow me if you'd like! I'd love it!) So I am looking forward to sharing.
What changes or additions are you making to your home?
