Hands down, the blog I frequent the most for inspiration and ideas is Young House Love. I absolutely love their style and the ideas and projects they present are very doable by the average person. What I love most about their blog is that they do all of their projects on a budget and extremely reasonably.
I was inspired to create this piece of artwork from reading their new book and coming up with ideas for my "art wall" I'm going to be adding to my family room as I start to redesign it. Their book has so many great ideas for creating art work using items you probably have around your house already. Reading their book just inspired me to create this piece. If you want to add about a million things to your project to do list, I highly recommend picking up their new book here.
I went to Lowe's the other day to pick up some paint swatches for my family room. What I love about Lowe's is not only is their paint awesome since it is low odor, low VOC which is what you want when you have a 13 month old cruising around but they also always have free palettes you can pick up for their new line of colors they have out.
I picked up their new Spring palette (love all their colors!) and instead of throwing it out once I picked my colors I got to work making a piece of art. I took my 2" punch and cut out circles of each color. Then I used a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock and just randomly spread the circles out and glued them down with craft glue. I let it dry with a heavy book on top of it for about a half hour before I stuck it in a frame I already had hanging on my way and voila! Instant art.
I love that it will add just a punch of color to my walls and mostly that it took me about less than 20 minutes to create!!
