For a while now I have been thinking about flipping my living room around. I thought it would be nice to be able to see out the windows and watch TV at the same time. So last week, I did it! Some of you are probably thinking, “But Katie you just finished your living room”. Yes, that is true but I am always up for a change, especially one that only took my “man power” and about an hour of my time. To refresh your memory, here is the the timeline of the living room to what it is today: Most Recent to The Original.
And here it is NOW:
However, this flip left me with a HUGE blank wall!
After doing some internet searching for “inexpensive wall art” and “do-it-yourself wall art” I came across “this picture” and fell in love! So after finding a great website with ceiling medallions for great prices, I decided to go for it. FYI the site is: Architectural Depot
For a trial run, I cut pieces of paper out to match the sizes I had ordered. I wanted to see what it would look like once they came in (You can just say I didn’t have much patience)!
Then they finally came in! I got all different styles and sizes!
Then I purchased some reusable putty. I wanted them to be flush to the wall and I wanted to be able to take them down if I decided to paint them.
Here is the semi-final project. I want someone to come over and help me with the placement of them and also I need to decide if I want to paint them or not. 
Nevertheless, like any project I have ran into a small issue, hence another reason why I called it semi-final. The putty is not holding them on the wall. Although they do not weigh more than a few ounces each, the putty doesn’t want to stick to the back of the medallions! I was trying to stay way from something permanent like glue or having to nail them to the wall. SO any suggestions??
Cause the stuff below is not working at all.
Also, I am taking suggestions for color….should I paint them or not. I was even thinking about “pewtering”. Thoughts?…..suggestions?
And while I am blogging, I thought I could throw in a picture of my TJMaxx find. Before I had a broken mirror on top of my dress that I got during move out week close to campus. It was okay for the time but I had too many mirrors in that room and thought a picture would be better. Here is what I had before and this is the new and improved that I got for $10! That’s right, $10 and I still can’t find any reason for them to mark it down from $30. I love when I find deals like this.
