Kitchen & Living Room Art


I framed my line drawing from a school project with gray matting and then re-painted the two paintings to the left of it with purples and a golden brown hue. They are pretty dark, but I like it.

The large purple painting in the dining area is 36 X 36 inches and has the golden brown painted over with gold. I really like the two together. I think I might make the purple a bit deeper eventually, but for now it does the trick. I also made those curtains hanging to the right of it. They are a nice pop of color to the room. It needed something that had more interest. I'm very happy with how this one turned out, even though I would make some changes.
I didn't like the headboard so low to the ground, so I got a bed. Now the only problem is that my night stands are too low. I'm thinking I could stack a couple of them on top of each other to get the height I want. They are just those inexpensive tables from IKEA, so for two of them it would still only be about $16 for each night stand. Hummm...that could work.

I added the curtain too and I like the softness that it adds to the room. You can't tell in this picture, but it has a nice geometric pattern on it too.

I do like how the pictures above the bed turned out. Each image or item is something that is dear to me; a few of my favorite things:)
