MORE HOMEMADE ART!

Lately Aaron (my boyfriend) and I have been talking about how much stuff we have...me mostly though. Most of the stuff I have is scattered around the house and is for crafting. I have gathered quite the collection of crafting supplies and fabrics over the past year. So I have decided to put what I have to use in any way possible. This is where more of my homemade art comes into play.

I took some left over fabric from a previous project and decided that it would work in my blue, black, and white bedroom, but I had to figure out how to display them.

So I took two extra sewing hoops and spray painted them black, stretched the fabric into it and BAM....its done.

How easy was that? And look how cute they are! They also match perfectly with my previous homemade art for the bedroom!

GOOD OL' HOMEMADE ART

Lets be totally honest....I'm not very good at picking out art. In fact I'm not really a fan of a lot of art thats out there. Even though I'm an interior designer and thats suppose to be my thing, its not! I recently had a discussion about art with a coworker. Nothing too in depth just likes and dislikes, and I came to the realization that I don't have a type or style that I like or care about. I really just like what I like, simple as that.

Now lets not forget that I live with a boy, who has the total opposite design sense from me, so picking out any sort of art just doesn't work. I have been reading a lot of posts over at Young House Love about making your own art from items you love. For an example this is one piece of art they made here:

I took their concept of art and decided to try it out for myself. I had given my boyfriend this great card for Valentine's Day. It has a strong graphic, which is what I love, and you can instantly understand the meaning behind it.

I got a picture frame from Kohl's that already had a white matte board around it to frame the card and not to mention it was on a great sale at 55% off!

All I did was pop the back off, removed the picture place holder sheet, and inserted my fun Valentine's Day card, and ta-da!

I love this piece of art because nobody else has it and its the perfect way to keep sentimental gifts in great condition!
