$4 Artwork for my room

Well, you know that I am trying to accessorize my master bedroom on the cheap, so today I stopped by the Habitat store and picked up a couple of frames.

They were only two dollars each, so I spent a whopping $4.00!

They are matted for a 8 x 10 picture which is exactly what I needed.

I spray painted them both black and sanded the edges just a bit.

I got my artwork for the frames from Vintage Printable online…just printed them off of my computer right at home!

There is a wealth of vintage prints that you can download and print for FREE! Love that!

I turned the mat around in the frame so it would be white instead of cream, and added the bird’s nest prints that I downloaded…

I still do not have the side tables for my room figured out, so right now I just have a table from around the house sitting there.

I am wanting to find a desk for this side of the room..

As you can see, I am trying to add touches of blue to the room. It was needing some color!

Not bad for FREE!

This one is my favorite. I love the little blue eggs…

I am hoping to find some matching lamps for both sides of my bed. Lamps are so expensive, so I am trying to find some at a thrift store.

Another great site to get free prints is The Graphics Fairy.

Here are some I downloaded from her site…

She has a ton of cool pictures, not just birds.

The pictures I made really added a nice touch to the room, and they were totally worth only $4.00!

So if you are needing artwork for your room, be sure to check both of these sites out!

  1. Not sure if you have a Fred's in your part of the country, but they have the BEST lamps…for $10-20! Old Time Pottery also has good lamps.

  2. Hi Traci. The artwork turned out beautiful and don't you just love the price! I get really excited over things like that. Seeing what you can do with very little.

    Have a blessed day Sweetie. Hugs…Tracy :)

  3. Good for you, Traci! You made that $4 go a long, long way! Thanks for the links to those sites–I need to check them out.

    Here's a question for you. If you don't find side tables that you like or that you can afford, would it work to make a tablecloth for a skirted table out of burlap (like the one in your guest house), and then make a square topper out of a fabric that has some blue in it? It would be another way to bring in some color. You wouldn't need much of the topper fabric. You could even make a couple of decorative pillows for your bed out of the same fabric, perhaps adding a button covered in burlap to the middle of the pillow. Just a thought. :)

  4. Thanks for sharing the sites! I am always looking for artwork I can print at home. I love the image of the bird nest, LUV! You got a great deal on your frames also, mine were $7 ea. @ Big Lots :o(

  5. I am SO into birds right now Traci. They are just so darn sweet and fit into just about any decor. I think they look perfect in your bedroom!

  6. I too love the artwork. Food for thought on bedside tables. At http://www.MyDesignGuide.com, we love those inexpensive (I hate to say cardboard, but that's what it is) tables with a cloth on top. You can get them at Target or Pottery Barn. They are great because they are large – you have a fair amount of space at least on one side of your bed – and they offer a place for storage underneath. We recommend topping it with a white 60" round table cloth and then a topper that you can make yourself or change based on your decor, season etc….

    I just bought this one – that relates well to your new bird art – it looks a lot better in person than on the website- beautiful blues…http://www.target.com/s/182-4911163-8520859?_encoding=UTF8&search-alias;=tgt-index&keywords;=bird%20tablecloth&ref;=sr_bx%5F1%5F1&searchNodeID;=1038576%7C1287991011&searchPage;=1

    Inexpensive – the right size, storage and updateable….what more could you want.
