I Heart Art.

I really do.  I may not be the best at it, but I have a blast creating swap-able, inexpensive pieces to hang around our home.  I've dabbled in super amateur art before. Here, here, here, here, here and here.


Then last spring I created a few more pieces on some scrap wood I had stashed in our hall closet.



This past winter, I painted another scrap piece to help make a statement next to our Christmas tree.





After we took all of our Christmas decor down I was craving a bit of spring.  It's been very chilly, and once the holiday season ends, I am NOT a fan of the colder, darker months.  To combat the current season, I added pops of coral and citron to our great room.  An inexpensive way to get these colors into our living space was to update some of the art I previously painted above.  I can't wait to share it all soon!!

Anyone else ready for winter to end?!?!

    All of it is super cute! I love, love, love the "All you need is love" sign with the ombre paint color. So pretty!
