Art! Making the house into a home

Bill and I were unhappy with our living room. Ok I was unhappy with the living room. I don't really know if Bill had a problem with it. We rearranged some furniture around which helped, but it needed something more. The art we had on the wall that we had made this summer wasn't what we really wanted. Then I saw this and loved it. So that's what we did! Instead of canvas we used crafting plywood. Each piece was less than $5. We painted a light coat of cream colored paint, watered down enough that we could still see a little grain. Then we taped our trees and painted away! After drying we hot glued wooden blocks on and stuck some sawtooth hangers on the blocks. Tada! Art!
