Its a decorative wall art "R".
I love how it came out!
Originally it was just supposed to be the white letter on the gray canvas
but it just seemed stark, dry, and cold. Not exactly the mood you want in a Master Bedroom you are trying to turn into an oasis of calm! So after seeing many different embellishment ideas on Pinterest I decided to go with this flower one. (I will go into more detail about how to create it on another post). I loved the 3 dimensional effect it has, as well as the unbridled look where the canvas just can't contain it. I also gave it a good coat of sealer/shine to give it a warm glow.
I almost forgot to mention one of the cooler aspects of this that really impressed my husband.
My nifty recycled hanger.
Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you, that is a tab from a soda can hot glued on there.
I found this idea at apartmenttherapy.com via Pinterest via D and couldn't wait to try it out. It works great!
All in all, although there were hours of indecision poured into this simple art, I love the final result and I feel like I am starting off on the right foot for my Master Bedroom re-do. There are many more projects ahead so keep an eye out for them.
Please leave me a comment letting me know what you think and what you might have done differently on the embellishments I already have a few I want to do on the next "R". Who knows I may like your idea and do it too. I am always on the lookout for great ideas.
Have a great day and God Bless your family.
aww, I love it! The soda tab idea is awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the color and the soda tab hanger- I find I need picture hangers and hate to buy them - I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDelete@Natalie Thanks!!!! I know right!!! its hanging well too! Just have to make sure its centered on the art lol
ReplyDelete@Debra thanks!! I am in love with gray right now! I have several more of these canvases that I have dreams about hanging around the house. Looks as if the soda can tabs will be getting a workout here. lol Hope they work out for you as well! Another thing I have used is a safety pin. So if the tabs wont work you could try that.
I love how it turned out. Great job, can't wait to see the tutorial.
