Printing Your Own Artwork

Where does the time go? I owe you guys a super duper major apology for leaving you hanging this long, promise it won't happen again! I have thought about you everyday if that helps with the forgiving me part.
 
I love botanicals, not because they are "the thing" right now, but because they are simple artwork with no fuss or huge amounts of color. I've said it before, I do like color but only where "I" want it. I get sick of lots of color, so I've learned to keep large pieces neutral.....so I can enjoy them longer. There are tons of free printable artwork on Google, if you weren't aware check it out, you'll be extremely surprised at the quality.  I printed some botanicals last week and wanted to share them with you all and hopefully inspire you to create some cheap art as well.
 
 

I added these to the living room on either side of the armoire. I love the natural feel they give. How cheap were they you ask? 6 for $24! Whoop Whoop! I found the frames at Wal-Mart for $4 each.

I printed these bird inspired prints off Google and added them to Mr. T's side of the bed as well.
 
I also wanted to show you my living room curio finally full of pretties. I found this ship at Burke's Outlet ( a mini Marshalls) last week, I didn't buy it during my first trip...but decided to go ahead on the second trip knowing I could return it if it didn't work, plus with a Burke's Card on Fridays you get 15% off if your under 50. I LOVED it after I placed it in its new home. What do you think?
 
 
 
Thank you all for sharing your time with me! Be back soon!

P.S. You can see a preview of my new living room curtains as well! I'll share those soon ;)

  1. Such great artwork....I admit it, in a couple of rooms I try and get a little more color in specific rooms for more energy but there's nothing like walking into a calm tranquil room...and you nailed it!
