Yesterday I shared my great room dressed for fall as part of a French country fall tour with twelve fabulously talented bloggers and today I'm sharing the other side of the room with my new easy DIY art.
This framed art was so super easy to create and the only thing I paid for was the print from here. I knew that the French Oak botanical was perfect for my home.
I grabbed one of my framed prints, that I put together years ago, from my stash and got to work. You can find these frames at Hobby Lobby and they are especially cheap when they are 50% off. I also bought a ready made mat and then just took the back off and placed my new print in and voila, I have a fall picture.
The reflection of my palladium window is in this shot. I like that the print was aged.
I added a throw to the tray under the sideboard for Mr. Savvy to grab when he gets cold which seems to be quite often.
A vintage demijohn and some collected wooden boxes round out the vignette.
I hope I gave you an idea for creating a new art piece for very little time and money.
Now, be sure to click on my friends' posts below for more French country fall inspiration!
Have a fabulous fall weekend!
I love that artwork!!!...perfect for Fall and any season for that matter!....great vignette Kim...have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's really perfect for that spot.
ReplyDeleteIt is very frustrating here that precut mats are impossible to find. I brought a drawing from my parents' house, without the frame since it was too big, and I cannot find a mat.
We have pre it mats (mounts) as we call them in England, in both of our big art stores in Rochefort, let me know the size and colour and I will gladly look for you next week when I am in town. Susan x
DeleteThe print looks so perfect in your entryway! What a nice fall welcome to anyone who enters... :-) I love your sideboard styling, as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lory, but this is the wall in the great room not the entry.
Deletei HAVE an old Barnes and noble book with botanicals that I rip off pages from every now and then to make new 'art', and always love it, I should get mats though! Great idea and love your entry!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good way to make new art, Vel. Thanks
DeleteOh wow, Kim!! There you go again!! I went to the site where you bought your print and had not seen yours first, I would not have given it a second look!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you liked it.
DeletePalladian window...
ReplyDeleteNo that's incorrect. I looked it up. Thanks
DeleteLove that print and it looks great leaning like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny.
DeleteI love art displayed in this way, it doesn't have to be hung on a wall, this gives a slightly modern twist to any piece whether it is vintage or contemprorary.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't have many walls I have to get creative. Thanks
DeleteLove the botanical, Kim! So perfect for autumn! Pam @ Everyday Living
