Hey hey! Happy Friday! I have a quick and easy knock off for you today! I’ve been thinking more about what I’ll be hanging on the walls in our master bedroom…after I finish painting all of them. Who knows how long that will be. Could be years. But whatever.
It’s the one room in our house with a TON of wall space – and it’s hard to figure out what to put everywhere. I struggle with making all the walls work together.
Lately I’ve seen a lot of this art at HomeGoods and it always catches my eye:
Over the past few months I’ve seen a bunch of these at two different locations and I love them. I picked up some coral art for the room at Target months back and these would look great with it. But I didn’t want to $40 on one, especially when I knew it would be so easy to recreate. :)
So that I did! I picked up a square frame at HG for $8:
The look was exactly the same, it’s just about eight inches smaller on each side.
I wanted to pull in some color so I cut navy blue scrapbook paper and taped it to the back of the mat:
I’ve had some shells for years that I knew would work in the middle. I tried out a few and liked both of these:
But ended up with one a little simpler – a sweet little starfish. :)
I ended up spray painting the frame white, but then changed direction and threw some more color on there with a navy blue again. (I blogged about my blue spray paint taste test here.)
It was quick and easy and cost me $8. Not too shabby!:
Once I get the walls painted (a light gray) and get that small gallery wall going I think it will be a great little addition! My version doesn’t have the glass on top, but I have a plan in mind to make it look more like the inspiration art. (More of a shadow box look.)
I’ll let you know if it works when the wall is put together! First up…painting the room! Good times.
Have a great weekend my friends!
