Wall Decor on the Cheap

Hi!

I thought I would post a few things I put together for our master bedroom.

I got an oval mirror from my sister-in-law and wondered what to do with it. Then I got an oval picture from my mom. Then I saw one at Goodwill. This is what I came up with.


I've seen a lot of metal wall art at Pier One, so when I saw these at GW I thought I would give them  a try since it was only 50 cents for the pair.



I just painted them black and they came out great - kind of like a 3D version of the drapes in the room.


Then over the course of a few months, I found these two small oval frames at Goodwill. With all the craze over the Mr. and Mrs. pillows I've seen, I decided to do my own take on the theme and made these. I don't have a special stenciling machine so I improvised. I photocopied my muslin fabric and just printed the Mr. and Mrs. onto the paper. They came out really cute.



I'm really liking how this room is FINALLY coming together.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Love those Mr and Mrs frames... who knew fabric could look so real when photocopied! I didn't realize that you didn't use real fabric and vinyl til I read it. I featured you today on my wall art round up :)

    The designs are creative and it adds beauty to a house. Using materials that are unusual in interior designing is a sign of creativity. This makes an appealing effect that draws attention.
