I have yet to post a complete picture of my living room. I thought that I would post about the individual projects first and then do a post about everything collectively. So you’ve seen my yellow {end table} and my black and grey {wall} and my {chair}. My inspiration for this room are these beautiful trees.
I love Quakies. They remind my of my childhood at our cabin. So this is what I based my colors on, Yellow, Black, White and Grey.
The wall behind my couch is ginorm. I have 12 ft ceilings and I have had the hardest time finding some kind of artwork that is cheap and huge. (Not a very friendly combo). In june I was at our family reunion in Cedar City, UT. My uncle lives in the middle of nowhere out there and every time we would drive past his house I would see these trees, so on our way home the last day I stopped on the side of the road and gathered some cut branches. I had no idea yet what I was going to do with them but I knew it would be cheap and cool. This is what I came up with…
I took my Quakie branches and tried to Gorilla Epoxy them on. It didn’t work so I just ended up using finishing nails. That’s also how I mounted it to my wall.
I love that, it looks amazing!
Found you from the House of Smiths. What a great blog you have. So many wonderful ideas.
well look at that artsy wall! You go girl. Love those trees. Um…can you do a post on the awesomeness of that yellow coffee table? Looks awesome!
wow. would never ever have thought of something like this. It looks great! (My house has no style…)
Mandi. It turned out awesome. Your house is absolutely darling. I need to move down there around all of the creativity. Call me if you end up coming up this way. Oh, and tell Ivie happy late bday. We thought of her yesterday.
Very Creative. Love it!

I love the tree art! I think it’s amazing that you pulled it off for $9. It’s gorgeous!

Funny, I had intended to do something similar. Except the branches will go in an empty frame (which is already up in my bedroom).
LOVE it!

Wow… amazing job. This could not be cooler. I’d like it with a Christmas bulb or two dangling. 🙂

Thanks! 🙂
Hello! This idea inspired me. I tried to do it with foam board. It didn’t work out as I had planned. It lead me to a similiar interpretation. I featured this idea in my blog. I gave the link to your blog, so my readers would know where the idea came from.
Wonderful idea, I love white branches, why didn’t I think of this?? And I love birch trees, too. You are very clever…

This looks phenomenal for a $9 project!!!
