Quick Living Room Change Up

Woo hooo! It's done! I finished my living room change up. Wanna see what I've been up to? First, let's start with my inspiration.

Once upon a time a few weeks ago, I was at Joann.com looking at fabric for throw pillows. That's all my living room needed...throw pillows. And then, I saw THIS. And I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing...

It was PERFECT! My living room walls are a creamy yellow (Glidden paint color called upside down pineapple cake) I love that it's neutral, but colorful. So pretty and cheery!

...and my kitchen/dining room walls are red (Better Homes and Gardens Red Garnet).


So, seriously, this fabric was perfect. It ties in with both. I ordered 3 yards (thank you 40% off coupon!) and got to work. The first thing I made were some throw pillows for the couch.

I'm still debating on whether to just leave them be, or add some accents to the pillows like flowers or a ruffle down the side or middle.

Then, I made a basket liner for our huge basket in our entry way table, which secretly holds all the diapers and wipes! So sneaky, I know.

I still have about a yard left, but with the scraps I had I made more rosettes, (big shocker, I know) and glued them onto a picture frame.

I got this frame at Walmart a few years back for about $5, but I'm pretty sure they still sell this exact same frame. I spray painted it with Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze, let it dry, and then with a fine grit sandpaper I roughed up the bumps and edges. So, it went from this:

to THIS!

such an easy fix, I can't believe the change!

Then, I decided to go raid the thrift store here (again). I found some incredible finds! Like these birds for less than $2 for both...

They were both white, so I spray painted one the same blue as the frame.

And I found this cloche for another $1.50 and spray painted the base Krylon Bright Idea :

Now, put it all together and what do you get???

THIS!

I LOOOVE how it all turned out! Love the splash of colors, love that it was super inexpensive and easy to do, and love that I can share it with you! Isn't it amazing what some fabric and spray paint can do? Now, hopefully you guys have your creative change up juices going...so go find something to spray paint! On your mark....get set....GO!!! (Dude...and tell me what you did when you're done!)
