Update on my Family room Re-do....

It seems to be coming along nicely! I am still waiting on the sofa to be delivered as well as a new coffee table! So, what do you think of my canvas painting? I think it came out pretty close to my inspiration pic! Hoping to have everything ready by the end of this month.

Pretty cool how the painting came out, are you considering framing it ?
I LOVE the mirror over the fire place, though I can't help "wanting" to paint it in a glossy black color :)
Have fun decorating !

Amanda @ Bits and Pieces said...

Did you do the painting? Great job I think!!

Jennifer Ramos said...

Jennifer Ramos said...

JANET:
Yes... I like that art piece so much I decided to make it as close as I could. I used two paintings...but if you look closely it isn't identical.

Sari said...

Great job on the painting! I think that mirror looks perfect over the fireplace. I can't wait to see the entire space.

I love the painting, well done - the mirror is also gorgeous. It's quite unfortunate that televisions have to be such an eyesore.

I wouldnt have one if I wasnt addicted to crappy reality TV!

Splendid! I need to finally paint my canvas for my house! I think you've inspired me :)

Your painting is so pretty! Love it!

Lindsey Lou! said...

Oh, I love that idea...hopefully it didn't cost too much. I, too, am in the midst of brainstorming creative ways to decorate the walls in my apartment. I might hang up some of my old B & W photos from art school, but I am really loving the idea of painting some canvases too. You did a great job!

Tiina of LiviaConcept said...

Jennifer Ramos said...

SAMIYA:
Thanks! I'm not sure yet if I am getting it framed...I have so many other things i still need to buy ha!

So jealous that you even have a fireplace to paint different colors - endless options! Fuschia pink would be amazing!
