Hi friends! I hope you are enjoying your Summer so far!
Today I wanted to share with you some updates I have made in the dining room. This room has gone through a few changes starting with a new paint color, new Ikea sideboard you can read about HERE, and I have finally broken down and added some new artwork on the walls.

It all started with this butterfly (or moth-you decide) picture that caught my eye. All of those rich saturated colors drew me in and I knew I had to have this picture.
So what's a girl to do with ONE picture? Hhhmm........decisions, decisions.
I decided to go on a manhunt for a matching frame and try to create a grouping.

After searching high and low I found these frames at none other than Wal-Mart that look almost identical and they came with white matings too. Score!
All I had to do now was add these prints I purchased online from a daily deals sight and hang them up.
Instant grouping! ....and I love it! It is just what this wall needed.
And of course I updated my Hemnes sideboard for Summer too.

I think new chairs and window treatments will be next for this room.
It is amazing what one picture can do. It can spark a creative streak and motivate you to decorate a corner of your home that was once bare and boring!
It feels good to no longer walk thru the room and see empty walls!
