One of my main sources of inspiration was finding prints that tell a story about us but add a modern feel. This California print I found free over at Vintage Lemon where she offers free prints of all 50 states! I tried printing it off of my computer but I didn't like that the colors were not as rich as some of the other prints I have bought off of Etsy. So I ordered the print through Walmart's photo lab. It came out absolutely perfect!
I also picked up a bunch of gold matted frames from a recent photo swap sale. $1 a piece!
One of my other new ventures is painting canvas. I do not consider myself much of a painter but making this sign featuring our last name was super easy! I had an old canvas that I painted over with one of our wall color paints and then wrote out our name in chalk. Once I got the writing correct, I just used my chalk writing as a guide for painting over it!
This wall adds just enough color to my neutral furniture giving it a fresh pop of color!
And I love Ikea's matted frames...they give weight to photos and add a bit of a modern feel.
I also fit everything into a rectangle placement which is not usually like me but I really like the change! Little adjustments and some inexpensive {or free!} additions make an old wall feel fresh and new!
Anything fresh and new in your home?
