A little colour please!

Recently we an incident that left a photo frame broken and beyond repair. This altered the plan for the frames above our bed as the store where we purchased them from no longer stocked them. Our plan is to frame some photos of our children that we had taken but in the interim we have filled the space with framed scrapbook paper. The frames were $2.99 from Ikea and the scrapbook paper was from spotlight for $1.55 a sheet.Take a look!

              Our room has neutral walls, carpets and architraves so this was a simple way to inject a little colour into our room. I was sure to look for variety of papers. Large print, small print and complimentary colours.  I think the frames will suit Master 11's room more than our bedroom. But for the time being it  beats 6 hooks in the wall!

Simple wall art

This weekend I put together a rather large wall hanging for a rather large blank space in our house. Such a simple but effective idea using a few pieces of timber offcuts, fabric and a staple gun. First of all, I cut the lengths to the desired size and screwed it together so it was braced.

Mrs found this fabric on a discount table for $8 a metre (usually $29.95 per metre) and purchased 1.3 metres of it allowing enough fabric to cover the frame.

Voila!

You can change the look of a room with a splash of pattern or color! 

Here is a cot panel we made into a piece of art for our daughters room. Mrs added some glitter fabric paint to make it extra special.

A great way to add some art work without needing too much time or money to any space in your home.
