Happy Monday loves! So how many of you also spent at least a small portion of your weekend tearing down the last bits of Christmas and safely packing it away til 11 months from now? I was sad to strip down the tree and box up the tinsel, but it feels good to have the house back to normal again.
The only thing about taking down the decorations is sitting back and suddenly realizing how bare your walls are. Well, maybe it was just me? Then again, most of my walls were bare before the holiday décor went up! But I digress..
Last year I struggled with finding meaningful things to fill our family room walls with so for the most part they remained empty. The baking cup art and gold polka dot plate art eventually found spots elsewhere in the house so once again that left the walls empty.
The area that gave me the biggest issue was the spot above the TV media center. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do with it. I didn't want to do anything to draw too much attention since the TV is the true focal point of that space, but at the same time it needed something.
At first I thought Id take on a small reupholstery project, but when I picked up two big frames for $10 at Ikea in the As-Is section I knew exactly what do with it.
I'm so happy to have finally found a great use for the fabric and the perfect something for the media nook wall.
I love the way they look. The scale is just right, I think. I also added a bit of black ribbon to the lampshade just to trim it out.
One wall down, two more to go. I really need to do something about the space above the mantle.
It looks so sad and empty right now. I found a great vintage mirror while at an antiques flea this weekend and I think it'll be the perfect starting point for that space.
Anyone else have a few empty walls? What are your plans for them? Until next time...

ReplyDeletethat seriously was the perfect solution- and very budget friendly!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric looks great over your TV! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love using fabric this way! Maybe because fabric is so pretty and I have zeroooo sewing skills lol. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLoving the framed fabric, perfectly subtle yet and standout! & yes I have far too many blank walls staring back at me, but lots of plans to change it :)
ReplyDeleteWell I have ALL empty walls. But you know why :) I think you hit this well - soft and pretty and definitely not competing with everything going on underneath.
ReplyDeleteBare walls is def my weakness. I never know what to hang!
ReplyDeleteYours looks lovely:)
Well well aren't you just the clever one! That looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric in a picture is perfect for art on the fly! Many walls in my house are empty for the same reason your are. One day I will fill the walls, hopefully it's before my husband does. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric art! I love easy diy art ideas like this! (raising hand) Guilty of empty walls...
ReplyDeleteI have MORE THAN A FEW empty walls. I love what you did with that space above the television. Perfect and budget friendly! I have "wall space filling" on my to do list this month. My walls have been bare far too long. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Shavonda! Fills the space well without taking over.
