I saw this print and I thought I’d share with you an idea on how to make your very own designer print. Whilst the original was created on canvas and then developed further digitally, you can still achieve the same look without too much fuss.
Just make sure to use good quality paint, and do a test run beforehand on a piece of paper to play with the colours and how you are going to layer them.
What other ideas do you have for artwork?
In the theme of Tuesday’s post, I’ve been thinking of other ways to up-cycle for the home. Here are 5 cool ideas to recycle pallets. You can find them all over the place, from freecycle, skips, working warehouses, even sometimes the edge of the road (although be careful if you are that hardy!)
1. Why not use palettes instead of a futon base for your bedroom. To add to the rustic look, tie in muted colours and even use an old fruit crate as your bedside table. {via chic deco}
2. Hang a palette on the wall, and you have a nifty plate rack. {via tumblr}
3. Create a garden planter, this is ideal for a balcony garden! {via Craft}
4. A slick of paint and some nails, plus a little bit of imagination transforms old bits of junk wood into a contemporary kitchen island unit. This will save lots of pennies that you can spend on cool chairs and fun lighting pendants to complete the look. {via Apartment Theraypy}
5. For a commercial space, you could commission Most Architecture, a Dutch architectural practice, to design a recycled interior for your office.
If this is all too much hassle, and you want the look but are not DIY friendly (although to be honest, these are really easy except no. 5), then Made.com does a fun coffee table made under the same principle.
I know you are all extremely creative and fun, what would you make or have as a palette feature?
I wanted to share with you this great DIY post, by Roost blogger Marissa Waddell.
If like me, you have over-indulged over the festive period (and why not, I say!), then I’m sure the wallet is receipt heavy and cash light. With this in mind, I wanted to share this great article that shows you h0w to create eye catching bedside drawers at a fraction of the price of originals.
If you are looking to smarten up your master bedroom and/or looking for a fun project to while away those non-drinking January hours, Marissa shows you step by step how to create these smart drawers, and I recommend you check out her blog.
Happy DIY-ing!
