art above the headboard finished!
Click to read more about the tufted headboard with wings and nailhead trim, dresser/nightstand, lamps, pillows!
I drew a design based off of the bed skirt or back of pillows fabric - traced with puffy paint (remember it is very hard to get the puffy paint to be perfect - if you try it this way, embrace the imperfections!)
After it dried I painted it with SW Anew Gray with a little white mixed in
Once it dried I didnt think that it had enough contrast - and looked a little flat in the space ...
so I retraced the lines with white puffy paint and perfect - just enough pop!
The two larger frames on the right are painted the same as the canvases (little frame is from Ikea)
I printed the quote on fabric - check out this post to see how I did it - I drew the Eames chair outline and Annabelles silhouette in illustrator
and on the other side - a wedding photo, outline of wishbone chair, and a quote printed on fabric
I love the extra contrast that the white lines gave the canvases! and how the texture ties in with the bed skirt while balancing out the stenciled wall
I have a lot of exciting projects in the works ... now I just have to decide what to start first!
