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.

  17. 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!
