Wall Art

I love walls having something on them, but I also like the art to be unique. In our master bathroom, I took the same sepia photos (different pictures, same technique) that I used on our bedroom walls and put them in glass frames (no matting), so the wall color could show through, making it appear that I got custom matting for my frames to match our walls. I found the frames at Michaels on sale for 50% off and the artwork inside the frames were photos I took myself. The total cost per picture was $6

In my office, I found three floating frames (what they were called) on clearance at Linens N Things. I went online and found some photos that looked “tranquil” to me, but also matched my office area (browns, oranges, reds, greens, and whites). They were simple to put together and the total cost per floating frame was $8.

In our guest bedroom, I used a very large frame (originally purchased to go in the guest bathroom to frame out the mirror, but was an inch too wide, so got re-purposed in the guest bedroom). The size of the frame matched the width of the dresser, so to me, it made sense to center it over the dresser. I had no clue what to put inside it and had a rod iron mini piece of art that I was planning to use in that room. I hung the mini piece of art inside the large frame and now it looks like an over-sized frame with a massive matting in it and 3-D art in the middle. The cost for this creation was $20.
