So here we are! The piece of artwork that I bought in 2007 (side note: at an art show benefiting battered/abused women and children) has FINALLY been framed. Long story short, this is the first time that I am getting to decorate my own space MY way. That is partly why I started this blog, and the other part was so I could document how much fun I'm having getting to do all this and learn so many great things. Anyway, onto the beginnings of my decorating! (I am having to do one thing at a time, silly budgeting!)
Everyone (ok, not EVERYone) says this is kind of an odd piece, but something about it caught my attention. I'm not exactly sure what, but I know what it means to me. Not to mention all my money went to help a shelter... So, I know you can't tell from the photo, but the black matte is actually semi-textured and semi-glittery, just to add a bit of a pop to stand out from the frame. (I wish I had a picture of my face when I saw this come outta the back, lol!)
So while I was waiting for that lovely piece, I found some yarns to match so I could make some vases!
As you can see...the yellow yarn I picked out (strictly b/c the color matched so well) didn't work too great. I mean, it looks good, but just a tip if you're going to try it...make sure the yarn doesn't vary in thickness, that's how you get those little waves.
And VOILA!! I'm in L-O-V-E with this and the potential to make a bright, airy, fun and happy place for myself. A sanctuary of color. :)
