Wall Art
We still haven't gotten our new painting. (It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow.) In the meantime, I wanted something new on the walls. I started by taking down what was already up. It had been up for 5 years or more and I was tired of looking at it. We lived with completely blank walls for a couple of weeks while I decided what I wanted to do.
Since we bought the painting, I decided to take some colors from that. It has a turqoise color, brown, and white. My walls are cabbage green. :-) We were at Wal-Mart one night and a shower curtain caught my eye. I stared at ir for a few minutes while John went on ahead and then decided to buy it. So yes, I have a shower curtain hanging on my wall. 
I have actually been reading a lot about fabric walls and I thought they were very cool.
You know what? I really like it. I tacked it up there with thumb tacks for a few days just to make sure. John is not as crazy about it. He thinks it will look better if we do the whole wall. I don't know. That seems like a lot more work....
On a different wall, I bought a canvas at the art store and made 'art' with scrapbooking papers and Mod Podge. I also bought some little flower decorations in glass bottles that were on clearance. Michael's had glass rock type things on sale also, so I bought a few. Itook the flowers and put them in plastic bags for later use, then used the glass bottles for my rocks. Here's what I ended up with.
Both walls together cost less than $30, which is quite a bit less than what I spent on our "Tropical Night" painting that still has not met my wall. And I still have leftovers that I can use for something else!
