I've been living in a house with very very very white walls for seven months now, and it's absolutely, completely not my decorating style or taste at all!In previous houses, I've been able to paint every wall and room a different colour, and that made me happy. Now that I no longer have the ability to paint the walls, I have to just get creative with the accessories.
On Saturday, I finally made a start on my new art wall. I bought some cheap large canvasses a month or so ago and they've just been hanging around waiting to be transformed.
I picked some of my favourite fabrics from the stash, grabbed the staple gun from the garage and stapled away my afternoon......
..... to end up with this.Pink, orange and red together make my heart sing!
This is Sundays effort - on the wall in my lounge area. Hanging around very happily with my beautiful Tinniegirl collages.
Hey great decorating idea, I think I will try it.

wow, looks gorgeous, I know what i'm doing today!
ReplyDeleteMs Pops, I can never, ever imagine you living in a white-walled house. Thank goodliness for some blank canvasses and artistic endeavour!
ReplyDeleteI am smiling a big smile because these fabrics are so you. I guess t is nice to see that your home is the same as your public image. Curatins are another way to make a feature wall. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteThese look great and have warmed up your wall beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I've just painted my walls white and haven't had time to re-hang all my fave pictures. Might be a job for this weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of wall...Looks awesome !
ReplyDeletea great weekend project, looks fab
ReplyDeleteTotally Beautiful
ReplyDeleteGot to love art that involves a staple gun!
ReplyDeleteI love your artwork. The colours look beautiful together with Tinniegirl's collages. Very cheery!
Totally snazzy! A great way to get some colur back in your life! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks sensational. Love the big, bold fabric canvases.
ReplyDeleteOh, those colours make me all gooey inside. Yum x 3
ReplyDeletethe fabrics go great together :) white walls can be so depressing to live with, they need colour!
ReplyDeleteHey looks great. Well done. Sure will cheer up the room for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics, very bright and cheerful. I just bought some stretcher frames from Ikea to do a similar thing, mine are a bit smaller though!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! We can't paint the walls in our new place either (they are a crummy cream and then one wall of deep, deep green).
ReplyDeleteYou give me hope that I can make something out of them. Thanks..
That looks much better Curlypops... Did you get some blue board yet for outside??
ReplyDeleteHi Cam, what a fantastic idea - it looks wonderful... very inspirational.

I love pink, red and orange together too! it's really an energizing combo and it looks great on your wall =-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! They look great and I love the way you've set them out with your Tinniegirl collage.
ReplyDeleteThey look great Cam.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! The best part is, if you ever get sick of them as wall art you can pull them apart and make things out of them!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this and wow isn't it effective! That's given me some new ideas too..
ReplyDeletesuper, super cool!
ReplyDeletei love it!
I've been thinking of doing the same thing in my living room.... BIG white wall needs something! Love the new look!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the Tinniegirl collages as part of the arrangement. Go colour!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it. Now that is how a wall should look!
ReplyDeleteLove it, so much better than a white wall.....
