Yellow is the New Black.

I did this tonight. 

Remember all that fabric I got at Class and Trash for $2? Thanks to Target's little "mistake" of sending me 3 packs of frames instead of 2, I was able to add some decor to the bathroom!  I like to call it shabby, urban chic.  I got the 12.5 in. x 12.5 in. frames (they are supposed to be record frames) in a pack of 4 for $39.99.  I only put 3 up in the bathroom.  The fabric, which I showed in the post before, was $2, and I have a little left over (another project perhaps!?).  Was able to do this project for under $35!

What I did: Bought square frames and picked out a fabric.  Cut fabric to fit frame.  Place in frame and put the back of the frame on.  SUPER SIMPLE!  The only difficult part is measuring and leveling them to line up (mine still aren't perfect).  Also, because it was a design, I had to cut the fabric so the same design would appear in all 3 frames.

What is great about using frames and fabric or some other cheap material is that I will always be able to use the frames if I decide to change the design or color scheme in the future.  If I purchased pre-fab art (although they're some really neat pieces out there), I wouldn't be able to do this!  Here's where I got my inspiration: DYI Wall-Art Projects.  This link also has a lot of other neat wall art ideas that won't cost you a fortune!

Same concept. The picture doesn't do it justice. 

I also did this in my living area with the same type frame, and some fabric from table runners I found on sale at Crate & Barrel (I believe 5 feet was $3.95) The pillows (silk, down filling) were $20/each from Crate & Barrel's summer online sale.  I got a C&B gift card for graduation, so used it to get these!  I've seen a lot of designs this summer/fall where yellow and grey are the "in" colors.  I usually wouldn't pay this much for pillows, but when I got them, the quality was really great!!

Side note: Did I mention I have 15-foot ceilings in the living and bedroom area? Do you think I should do a duplicate layer of the same pictures on top of the existing ones to fill more space?

I also got a set of 6 white dinner plates from C&B at the request of the boyfriend who's culinary skills are on par with my creative skills! Now he has pretty plates to take pictures of his yummy food!  I'm pretty happy about that!
