As I mentioned in my home update post, my most recent Pinterest project is the styrofoam art piece. I have decided to use that project as one of my entries for the Pinterest Challenge (five days left if you would like to join in the fun).
We recently repainted our living room, which inspired me to work on the styrofoam art piece. I wanted some new decoration for the one blank wall left in the room. I have had no luck finding artwork that I like, so I decided to create my own.
My inspiration came from a few different pins, but ultimately I decided to go with the more abstract option. The tutorial was great and really easy to follow. The one problem I had was with cutting the styrofoam - I could not get nice, clean, straight cuts. So, I was little disappointed with the uneven pieces, but you have to look really closely to notice.
I think the final product looks good, and I absolutely love the fabrics and how they pull the room together. The only problem is that the piece looks too small on the long, blank wall that it was intended for. For now it works above the mantle. But, during the holidays I like to put up new decor on the mantle. So, I think it will end up on the wall to the right. It will balance out the room with the TV being mounted on the other side.
Who is going to join me?
