Easy DIY Art Project

Finding the right art for a special spot can be a real challenge.  Art is subjective and for me really hard.  My entrance needed a huge piece of art for the two-story wall above the console.  I found something that I liked and did a little DIY to make it fit my room and colors.  This is an Easy DIY Art Project that you can do to change up a piece of art to fit your style.

If you have been following along, then you know that I have been using borrowed art over the console in my entrance.  I couldn’t find anything that I liked with the right colors, subject matter, and size.  I needed Art that would hang vertically, so that was one limitation. It also needed to be at least 36″ wide.   Second – I wanted it to be abstract with soft warm colors.  Nothing bright or with blues, pinks, red or green.  That proved to be really challenging.  A lot of abstract art has very bright colors. The third problem was the price.  I really didn’t have the budget for a piece that would cost me several hundred dollars.

 I finally found a painting that I thought I could revamp with a little bit of  DIY.  I liked everything except the blue in this painting.

With some craft paints and a little DIY the painting is perfect for my room now.  Changing out the console and chair finished off the transformation.  Now my entrance is perfect to me.  Check out this Easy DIY Art Project so you can see how you can change up a piece of art for your own home.
