I used to have a shelf up in about the middle region, but as much as I wanted to love it I didn't. It bothered me every time I was in there, so I took it down one day. But then I was left with an empty wall, and while there's not much, decoration wise in there, I knew that wall needed something. The problem was that I'm not sure what direction I want to go in the space, décor wise. So I didn't want to invest a lot of time or money into a project that I might would be taking down in a few months, plus I just didn't have the time for a large project.
I decided to do two pictures frames, stacked on top of one another. I didn't have any pictures I wanted to use in there so I decided to do scrapbook paper. It's an easy change out when I get bored with one design, and easy to change for the holidays as well.
I picked up two of these frames at Wal-Mart for I believe $10 to $12 each. They come "ready to hang" with a picture in them. The boat picture isn't bad, but they had a brown frame there with a picture of a green rolling pasture, I really did like that one. I went with the black one instead though because for one I wanted black, and I also like that the black ones had the mat to them, the brown didn't'.
I also went by Hobby Lobby to pick up some scrapbook paper. I was initially going to go for a neutral tan or gray but I thought this green print was pretty and the room could use a little color.
I just placed the glass on the paper and traced the outline. I made sure to use the same corner of each paper so that the design would match up as much as possible.
I also went ahead and took the mats out so that they'd make a bigger impact. The frames were about $25 total combined and the paper was on sale for under $1 for all three sheets ( I got an extra just in case). It's nothing marvelous but it's a little pick-me-up the bathroom was needing. As I said, I have no clue what I want to do with this room and who knows when I'll get around to it but for now this is holding me over.
