I decorated our house pretty quickly after moving in. But the last thing to do was put up pictures. Two large walls in our living room stayed blank until just about a month ago.
The first wall I wanted to add some family pictures to. I decided to do a gallery wall. I bought the frames on Amazon and ordered 8×8 pictures from Walgreens. I liked how this turned out and love looking at the pictures as I walk by. For the largest wall I wanted something that would try to fill up the space above the couch. Trying to save some money and also be a little creative I decided to make the art myself. I got some inspiration on Pinterest of what style I wanted. I bought some canvases on sale at Michaels, some paint, and painters tape. First I spray painted the canvases with gold paint and let that dry. Then I put the tape on the canvases in a design. I used blue paint as my base, added white to some and added black to the rest. I then painted over the tape in an ombre effect. I let that dry overnight and peeled off the tape to get the final look. I love how these turned out ❤️
