So I'm not taking credit for this idea. I got it from Design Sponge -- a neat little blog. Visit it sometime.
So some of my walls desperately need something on them. And fast. School is rapidly approaching (have I mentioned I'm a high school math teacher?), and I know that once it starts, I won't have time for these crafty little adventures.
So here's my attempt at filling some space in our dining room. For the project, I contacted about six or so paint/hardware stores in and around town for some free wallpaper samples. The most common reply was, "Well Ma'am, we haven't sold any wall paper since the '90's". Shoot.
I improvised with a trip to the craft store for some scrapbook paper instead. It turned out just as nice, but perhaps with a little less texture than planned.
If you don't know, I love birds. It started with an owl obsession. And has transformed into cute little finches and sparrows. I chose some paper that reflected other colors throughout the room. The frames were bought from Bekah (with The Yellow Pepper) at our yard sale for 25 cents a piece. I spray painted them (as I did to others in this post).
I think they turned out quite nice. They aren't up on the wall yet, mainly because I have another idea in mind that might find its way to the blog later...
