We didn't have anything blue and white for our summer mantel and I was ready to transition from our spring look.
It's been years and years since we have had a blue and white color scheme so all of our 90's art was long gone.
Since we didn't have anything in our stash, I decided to paint something.
I had some canvases that I picked up last summer at Walmart.
Pinterest is my "go to" place for inspiration.
I did a search for blue and white art and came up with some inspiring types of paintings.
I painted a canvas white and let it dry.
I squirted some different blue paint on it and then fanned it out.
This was all very random and abstract which is a little out of my box.
I was sure that I had gold leaf in order to add a little bling but a search through my craft supplies yielded only silver leaf.
Instead some metallic Martha Stewart paint was painted onto a napkin and printed onto the canvas once the blue was completely dry.
To "me-ify" it, I added a coordinating piece of art.
It is simply some blue and white wrapping paper in a chalk painted frame.
The wrapping paper was unearthed when I was searching for the gold leaf.
The flower pot was $5.00. I can't remember if it came from the antique store out by the lake or the thrift store.
The throw was a Tuesday Morning find.
The flower pot and peace lily came from Home Depot.
This was fun and easy to create.
It's a little out of my box but I like it.
Thanks for stopping in.
Katie
