Friends! I have a little somethin’ special for y’all today! Need some Wall Art inspiration? Are your walls a little bare or just need a change up? (If you’re like me, you like to change a lot!) Look NO further. I’m excited to share some great ideas!
Browse around on the image above and click on the corresponding link above to check out their DIY Wall Art. But first, check my cool little easy peasy piece OUT!
First, I ran to Michael’s a grabbed a piece of wood. My dad gave me some shim wood a while back that I’m been waitin’ to do somethin’ with. I played around with some ideas and broke some pieces in half. I was likin’ this end result.
I ran to the local ACE Hardware store because I wasn’t in the mood for Home Depot. And, Starbucks was close … so ya know. I grabbed a latte, some stain and brushes. Three different shades, dark, medium and light.
Next, I got busy staining. I used a mix of colors on each piece. Some heavier with dark and vise versa.
After that dried, I laid my pieces back out how I wanted them. I used Gorilla Glue and glued them down.
I have SO many ideas for the rest of my shim wood. I love it!
Now, I didn’t really have a place to put this on our walls. I decided to rearrange my Barn-Wood DIY Shelf (Imagine that) and I found a lovely place for it there.
