Chris and I needed a nice piece of bright art for our dining room. And we needed it on the cheap. So, taking a little inspiration blatantly stealing Colleen‘s idea, I made my own art! It was ridiculously easy [this is coming from the least art-inclined person EVER, so you know it’s true] AND cost less than $50. A winner all around, I’d say! Here are a few pictures of the progression and the final product:
First color
Second color (which ended up completely covering the first color)
Third color
The finished product!

Awesomeness!
LOVE IT!!!!!!! I hope you don’t think this was an original idea for me!?!? I stole it from HGTV. So now wear even. 🙂 I have a huge 3’x3′ canvas to do next. The paint has been purchased… now I just need to do it.
Colleen, i remember watching that episode thinking — what a GREAT idea – and then I saw it on your blog and thought LOOOVE IT! and I STILL love it!
Great work Sarah! looks fan-tab-u-lous!
i LOVE this idea!! The colors you chose are so warm, it looks great on the wall!
Looks terrific! Wouldn’t have ever thought of that.
