Walls

This blog post is actually evidence that I have been making attempts to spruce up our house :)  Here is how I have filled up some of the empty spots on our walls.

#1-  Perhaps my favorite out of our new wall hangings.  It has our birthdays with our names under each day.  Then at the very bottom it has the words "what a difference a day makes"  I had the print ordered on Etsy and then just bought the frame at Wal-Mart.

 

 
#2.  Finally put a family picture on a canvas wrap.  This one looks much better in person.  I did a big canvas print from Costco.  I just used our yearly rebate check so it cost me $0.04! 
 It is right by our front door.

#3- Family Rules- found at your local Wal-Mart for only $11.82.  I had been looking at different ones for awhile online.  I was so excited when I found this one at Wal-Mart
 (for much cheaper than ones I was looking at). 
 It was perfect for our family.
 
#4.  I ordered this one through PosterFuse.  You just click and drag what photos you want.  I put some of my very favorite photos.  Only problem was poster was 20x32.  Do you know how hard it is to find a frame for a 20x32?  Not easy!  I ended up having the mat custom cut and bought a bigger more normal size frame. This one is downstairs in our basement.
 

#5- Van Goh Poppies and Daisies- Amazon has an online warehouse where you can buy things cheaper.  This was $30 off original price!!! Plus red poppies are seriously my favorite flower! 

#6- Also had this one made for me online and bought the frame at Ikea.  It is in our kitchen.

#7- Van Goh sunflowers.  One of my "finds" at Savers.  It was only $14 frame and all. 

#7- Also found at Savers.  Yeah!!!  I think this was around $15.  It is pretty big and matches the colors in the girls room perfectly.

In other news- here is a picture of our TV room downstairs.  It is almost done!!!  We just need to buy some blinds! Although I am wondering why didn't I tuck in the TV cords before I took a picture! :) Also, excuse the glare of the window- since we have no blinds :)




New look of our front room with Cozy Cottage paint color instead of Cherry Tart. I really like it.  Although I still have a few touch up spots to do.  This room also needs new blinds or curtains.  I can't decide what I want so we just have a big open window for now. We are a fishbowl for neighbors in the evening.
 

Next up on the agenda:  re-doing our back patio.  Yikes!

I know I've seen a lot of these areas since you've changed them around, but it's still fun to see all the wall hangings (I was present for BOTH Savers finds!!) and think about where they are in the house. I may be copying a few ideas...hmmm...:)
