When we moved here 15 months ago, my house was just built. All the rooms were painted builders brown. I am not a huge fan of builders brown....but I have lived with it for all these months. Those who knew me in my previous life in Illinois, know that I loved to paint rooms. It was an inexpensive way of changing the looks of a room for very little money. And, I actually found painting to be quite relaxing. I know...you can say it....I am a weirdo. My daughters rooms have been begging me to put some pretty paint on their walls for awhile now. I finally caved. I began with oldest daughters room first. I will show you the big reveal in a few days. But I did want to show you some artwork I just finished for her new boudoir.
I bought two packages of 11 x 14 canvases from Michael's. They were 50% off this week. Total of $8.00.
I found these wall stickers at Marshall's for $8.00 on clearance.
I painted the canvases a light buttermilk color. Then waited for them to dry and placed the larger sticker in each of the four corners. Then randomly placed the butterfly stickers hap-hazzardly around. I thought they were cute as is but could be MUCH cuter and frilly with a wee bit of lace around the edges. Already had the lace in my stash. Lastly, I put some glitter in the center of each butterfly for a bit of sparkle.
I am really happy with the way they turned out. For about $16.00 she is getting a very large piece of artwork for her new walls.

What a cute project. Did you coat them with modge podge or just leave them alone? I love the lace edging.
Adorable! Would you be interested in decorating our house since we still haven't done much in over a year! ;) Too Cute!
