new bedroom art!

my new bedroom art revealed! i know, i know, you've been sitting on the edge of your seats for weeks just waiting for the big reveal, and i did my very best to get some decent photos, which i'm not thrilled with, but whatever. the time has come! 
here it is:


 a couple weeks ago i found this amazing artist and was completely inspired by one piece in particular. i like to think i'm a unique person with my own ideas, but i just felt the need to recreate this for my bedroom. it's slightly different, of course, but very obviously not my original concept. with that said, i still really love it!

piece of tan linen from the remnant bin, plus a couple skeins of embroidery floss and a frame i already had on hand made this a cheap project! and much more cheery than it appears in my photos...

i had some leftover materials, so i grabbed an empty frame from the vintage store in town, painted it black, and made another one.
lyric from one of our favorite songs {mentioned before because i love it!}


 this is the most accurate photo for the color scheme. and while i'm still a novice embroiderer, i think my stitches are getting better!

  2. What a great idea! I've been looking for crafty summer projects, this might have to top the list. Did you use special templates for the lettering?
