DIY Cloud Art and more Dining room sneak peeks!

Here is another small sneak peak of our dining room!
A'int it purty.






Do you like my cloud art?

I made it myself...another DIY that looks waaaaay more pricey than it actually was.


I took some cool photos of white puffy clouds and had them blown up 28" x 40" on glossy poster paper. It was 30 bucks to blow up and then I framed them in Ribba's from Ikea. I photo shopped the images a bit to make them have that Lomo camera poloroid vibe and Wallah! Big original art for under 60 bucks! Woop Woop!



This famous photo was my inspiration! I love how it makes the outside feel inside....Kinda makes the room look and feel bigger.

Danika Herrick said...

LOVE! All of it. Love the light fixture extra TONS! Keep the peeks coming.

Amber Interiors said...

Hi Lovers....The light fixture is vintage from a thrift store In Pasadena Ca....I found it buried under a bunch of crap.
The rug is also vintage purchased from ebay
The chairs are eames knock offs
And the dining table is Restoration.
My husband and I built the banquette and I had the cushions made custom. I just threw an old suazani over the bottom cushion to add some color and protect it from the little ones grubby paws!
I am glad you all are pickin up what I am putting down!

Bri@Meyouandawiener said...

Hell yeah this dinning room is dope! What key words do you use when looking for a rug on ebay, I was overwhelmed and gave up.

Would you be willing to sell the digital file of the cloud image? I would love to do the same in my dining room but fear that my photoshop skills are not up to snuff.

Hi! Saw you on LGN. Love your cloud picture and dining room. Where did you have your picture printed? Do you have a fancy schmancy camera with a zillion megapixels?

I am SOOO excited to have found your blog. All week I have been scouring the blogs for inspirational pics of Native American, Rustic, Modern inspiration. And here you are!!! I am looking into getting a Native American rug, but wanted to see what it would look like next to some modern chairs. I think we just so happen to have gotten those same chairs in your dinning room. ahhh- I'm so excited.

lovely*retro*house said...

hello! I LOVE the cloud art...I also remember the beach photo...does anyone know where to find the same/similar beach scene photo?

by the way, what businesses/stores offer a $30 28"x40" glossy photo blow-up? I checked costco's photo store...they don't offer it and I'm not sure where else to look

margaux said...
