For almost 3 years now there has been some brownish, historical looking canvases hanging in the corner of our Living Room. I love them, but it was time for a change!
Right now I am in the mood for a lightening and brightening throughout our whole home. I've been painting furniture, changing drapes and selecting new accessories (More on that in the next few posts!).
Today I took this plain-looking corner as my latest "fix'er up" challenge:
Boring isn't it??!!
Well guess what?? Discount decor store to the rescue!!
My daughter has been taking part in "Craft Camp" at our local Michaels store so I have had plenty of time to peek around the shops in the area. I found all of these plates within minutes of each other and I didn't pay more that $4.00 each for them. Score! They were exactly what I needed to add some zest to the ho-hum corner of the Living Room.
To figure out the placement of my 6 plates, I laid them out on the hardwood floor (Hubby installed my floor. Isn't it lovely??)
Once it was perfect I began adding the nails to the wall and the plate-hangers to the plates. And up they went.
What a pretty mix, eh? I love the little spot of chartreuse mixed in with the deep rose and pale aqua.
Oh! I am in LOVE with this little area of my home now!! Plates, pillows, butterflies, flowers and my reading lamp. Could this get any better??
Oh, that is SO pretty! I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation, Bronwyn! Your corner looks so inviting now! Where did you end up finding the plates? They look like HomeSense finds to me :)
ReplyDeleteMy mission this summer is to fill some of the many empty spaces on our walls.
Can't wait to see some more of the little tweaks you've been up to around the house!
Enjoy the weekend!
