Spring Living Room Redo

I was over my bland beige living room and wanted to spice it up with color without going overboard or overspending. Printable wall art from Etsy helped we elevate my space and boost how I feel towards to my home environment in a short one weekend long DIY project! Here's how:

First things first is select your vibe. What's your color palette? What makes you feel cozy and comfortable? I went with more terracotta, warm tones and bohemian with a twist of western style prints as I wanted to feel relaxed and casual and not too modern.

Once I knew what I was going for, I headed to Etsy and favorited a bunch of prints and selected the ones I knew my husband would go for too. It's just as much his space as mine and I did not want anything so overtly opposite to him. I used two Etsy shops: SundrySociety & IndioPage, these are the direct links to the two bundles and one individual print I used!

Sundry Society bundle: https://www.etsy.com/listing/741528369/boho-art-set-of-5-prints-abstract?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1

IndioPage: https://www.etsy.com/listing/774445699/boho-decor-gallery-wall-bundle-boho?ref=shop_home_active_104&pro=1

IndioPage Individual: https://www.etsy.com/listing/689179406/abstract-art-original-art-print-digital?ref=shop_home_active_79&pro=1

IndioPage's owner Krista is doing a super awesome deal right now where if you use the promo code: MORETOMORGAN you can get 40% off, no minimum purchase, until June 6th! She has so many cute prints, if I could have them all I would. I will be using them to decorate Marc and I's bedroom soon too. So save you some money and support a small business and spruce up your space!

Now for each photo, I just printed them at Walgreens. They were doing a 40% off sale for pictures, prints, and posters so it worked out for me, plus they did same day pick up. Also each print shop tells you which size to download that will fit the picture frame so it doesn't print too wide or too narrow. I wanted the wall to be kind of a mashup of different sizes so I got two 8x10s, three 16x20s, and three 11 x14s and it worked out.

For frames, we bought the frames from Target. I did same day pickup for them and I ended being one short and so when Marc went to get one he had grabbed an actual canvas that came in a frame and thought it was a stock photo so we had a laugh and had to take it back and find what we were actually looking for. For some reason 11 x14 frames are hard to find, don't ask me why. Here are direct links to the frames, I didn't want them all the same shade of brown so I got white, tan, walnut brown, and even one bronze frame too!

I used two of these white frames: https://www.target.com/p/11--34--x-14--34--matted-wood-frame-white---room-essentials--8482-/-/A-15576318

Adorable bronze: https://www.target.com/p/8--34--x-10--34--float-thin-metal-gallery-frame-brass---project-62--8482-/-/A-51062448

For some reason, I cannot find the link to this one! I know this is the one we ran into the store and got so it's not on our orders under our Target account. If I find the link later or can find the receipt, I will put it in here!

Setting it up, we used Command Strips because we do rent our apartment and I was not going to puncture the wall. For a more clean look we could of measured and lined everything perfectly but I eyeballed it and Marc stuck them on and I am just as happy with the results. Simple, quick, and easy decorating!

I did also buy a terracotta colored ceramic but I have not decided what type of plant I want in there, maybe dried palmetto leaves. I also am in the process of finding some throw pillows and an additional throw pillow. So, I will make a separate post about the items in the living room, after I see it all come together. This post is solely about prints and taking small steps to make any room more lively! I hope this helped anyone interested. - Morgan
