Creative artwork under $13 that makes a BIG impact!
Friday, January 11, 2013
Ever since we moved, I've been searching for the perfect artwork for my teenagers room. She is SUPER creative. She is a blogger, a photographer, a little bit of a graphic artist... she's just all around SWEET!
In her old room, I had used several photos of our family above her bed. I had to make them REALLY big since the end canvas was actually disguising an electrical panel. Ha! Who knew?
When we moved, I promised her she could re-do her room. One of the things that didn't work was the cute canvases I created =(. Back to the drawing board.
She found this bedding that she LOVED!
It was cute, but busy! I knew I had my work cut out for me for what to pair with the new bedding!
I had already created a homework area for her that included lots of her photography
... so I wanted to do something different.
On a total whim, My friend and I ended up at Home Goods. (Seems like I always find things when I'm not looking)
I just happened to walk by this:
The frame?... PERFECT. The artwork? Not so much. It was WAY too busy with her bedding!
I KNEW I could do something different with the art. I mean, why not? So I bought it... brought it home and disassembled it. Then, I happened to stumble across this AMAZING chalkboard art.
Seriously, it couldn't have been more perfect! She collects vintage camera's!
You literally download it onto a memory stick, bring it into a Staples or Office max and within 5 minutes, they had printed me out a 36" x 48" black and white poster for a little over $7.00!!!!!!! Phew... I think that was just a run on sentence...I'm just so excited!
I brought it home and stapled it to my frame and.....
Ta-da!!!!
Yay for good things that come for those who wait!
Downloadable poster $5.00 + Black and white poster $7.50 = $12.50 !
( plus the cost of your frame)
{Whole room reveal coming soon}.....
