I'm just going to tell you, my living room is very naked! When we moved into this house 2 years ago, I had no idea what to do with all of the walls!! I'm not used to having higher ceilings and everything I had on my walls in the last house just got lost on the walls in the new house; too small. So, the walls have sat there pretty much empty.
Now, I still haven't done very much because I have been so unsure of what I wanted to do. It's pretty funny really. I've invited friends over & asked them what they would do, but have still remained pretty indecisive.
I put a mirror on the mantel:
Then, I put another mirror on the mantel:
Better right?
I hung some crosses up:
Last week I found something else! I was shopping yard sales & found 3 mirrors for $10!
Here they are hung:
OK, here's the whole room now (or least the most bare part):
I did not clean up for this pic. Ha! Real life folks!
It's too plain. What would you do? I can't decide at all. There is nothing on the wall with the window or the wall with the TV. Ideas?
Buy a big canvas - or a really ugly painting at thrift store - paint it white or some other color you like and then let your kids go a bit wild with the paint. Really. That kind of art work can change often. The key is to go pretty big.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea!
DeleteHey lady! I would totally add a gallery wall wit a ton of frames to one of your big blank walls...it's my go to! So easy and makes a giant impact!!

Thanks Kylie! I'm thinking on it.
DeleteThanks for the award!!! I'll get a post up : )
My walls are pretty blank too but like Kylie said, a gallery wall is great! I've been collecting $1 frames from flea markets and will spray paint them the same color and then hang up! Can't wait to see what you come up with! And I love the real life photos! That is how my house looks with two kids too!
