In each house that we've done, I've created some "art" for the space. I'll put those projects here...
This "frame" collage is something I'm doing for the living room of the new house. I found old frames at a second hand store, painted them white... leaving a bit of the old color and texture showing through. As soon as I get them hung, I'll put a photo here...
No sew pillows! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have tons of old pillows that don't match my "new" decor. I bought fabric on sale for $1.50/yd and viola! New pillows. Gotta love that!
One of the pieces I'm doing for this house is a "lighted" branch canvas.
Check it out.

Add the moss to cover the cords and create texture at the bottom.
After glue is dry, display and hang up.
This was just some leftover scrapbook paper, some Mod Podge and black frames. I did a set of three for the Master Bedroom of the second house. It was a relaxing thing to do in between painting, staining, pulling weeds and cleaning.
