 Photo Art Blankets Add Color and a Unique Touch to Your Home Decor

For centuries, tapestries have been both useful and decorative.  Photo art blankets can be useful in creating a certain look for your home, whether you love colors and furniture that are rich, bold and chunky or a lighter look full of creamy pastels.  As an added bonus, they can be great for snuggling up on those snowy winter days!

Tapestries are usually designed from works of art from all over the world, but can also be embellished with any of your favorite photos, as long as they are high quality with good definition.  Can you imagine having a favorite picture of your child put on a photo art blanket?  Not only would it delight your child, it would be one of your most prized possessions.

Blankets can be used for many different purposes.  Toss it over the sofa, hang it on a large wall, or cozy up with it in the recliner.  Add a touch of color to your floors!  There are endless ways you can use tapestries to add your own unique touch - the only limit is your imagination.

Changing the atmosphere and look of your home can become very expensive.  You can rearrange the furniture, but that only does so much.  When you want a totally different look or a punch of color, photo art throws can be the perfect answer.  Add a few throw pillows and perhaps a bold new color of paint on one wall, and your room is totally transformed!

Seasonal Decorating

When I think about decorating for the seasons naturally what comes to mind are the jewel tones of fall, the reds and greens of Christmas, and the pastels of spring and Easter. But as I looked around my home I've noticed that the greens of summer have infiltrated my home in the form of faux plants and moss balls, with a few florals thrown in for good measure.

Is your home sporting the greens of the season?

Just Another Mantle Monday

Using many of the same elements from my 4th of July mantle,

I redecorated for a feeling of
a sophisticated summer.

Proceed With Caution

My husband loves his nightstand but it has only
a teeny tiny drawer for storage. I tried to solve the storage problem with a collection of boxes
that I painted and numbered. But they ended up looking too big and clunky for the space.
So I went to Plan B.

I had this great, vintage basket that was a thrift store find.
It was nice, but not all that masculine. A nice coat of gray spray paint helped, but it still needed a little more.
Since my husband did service in Germany in his youth I asked him to pick a German word that he thought would be appropriate for the basket. I printed off the word in a font that resembled one found on old shipping crates.
Then I cut out the letters to make a stencil. Next I sprayed the paper with adhesive and placed it on top of a piece of scrap wood that I had already painted the same gray as the basket.I spray painted the stencil and when the paint was dry I aged the sign with a little sanding and a light top coat of stain. Then I attached it to the basket with wire.I love that the basket now looks like it came from an old ship, complete with the German word for CAUTION. It fits perfectly under the nightstand and is a great storage solution for hubby's odds and ends.

His Favorite

It all began with a piece of slate that was destined for the garbage dump. I found it in the corner of my in-laws storage room as we were de-cluttering and packing for my MIL's move to a smaller home. It was a piece left over from the entry floor of the house that had been their home for several years."Why do you want that?!?!" my hubby asked as I carted it to his truck (you would think that he would have learned by now that his wife has an eye for good junk).
He rolled his eyes as I gave him a list of reasons.
When we arrived home I hauled my newly acquired piece of slate into our home and plopped it on top of another junk find, an old sewing machine cabinet that hubby had picked at the thrift store. Amazingly the slate piece was the PERFECT size!We cut and nailed molding to the top of the cabinet so the slate would rest inside. I painted it the same blue-gray as the slate.It's now my husband's night stand and his favorite piece of furniture. It's a beautiful reminder of the family memories made in the home of his youth.
