Several weeks ago, I posted about our family room & a few of the changes I wanted to make in the space.
I'm happy to say I have another project complete!
Here was my original list:
- New artwork above the couch - done!
- New artwork for T.V. wall - done!
- Makeover the little table my map lamp sits on
- Paint the dress-up box (to the right of the couch)
I wanted something a little less boxy to go on the wall over the T.V. Because the T.V. isn't centred on the wall, it was awkward to hang rectangular art on that wall. I needed something more free form.
I had these embroidery hoops in my crafting box & a bag of maps from my parent's travels. I put the two together & in about 10 minutes, I had new art!
I also really like how the maps nod to the map lamp that's in the room too. :)
Enjoy your day!

Adding elements can change the entire look. These are good examples in putting up and starting out a design.
