I'm thinking about making half of our garage a little dressing area. I plan on doing it with FREE, THRIFTED, or DIY materials. So here's my 1st project I did this morning since I was BORED. It's a "self portrait" of myself (seems a little vain, huh?). It's just a regular photo I took with my webcam. I then played around with it on PIXLR.COM to change the colors to the color scheme I have for the room. Next, I printed the photo on 9 pages to create a larger picture. I trimmed all the borders off (except the perimeter). I used two foam boards from Dollar Tree and duct taped them together. After that, I used Mod Podge to glue the pieces of photos together to create one unified piece. Like putting together a puzzle. After it's all glued down, I go over the entire photo with the Modge Podge to protect it and also add a little gloss to it. Then let dry. Mine is out on the porch drying as I type. Later, I'll either just paint the foam board, or trim the foam board and frame it. Not sure yet. I'll keep you posted!! :-) xoxo
I'm still unsure of the exact design I'm going for...I'm just going by what I find for FREE or the THRIFT STORE. Here's my list of things I KNOW I want in the room.
1. A Large Tufted Round Ottoman
2. A Vanity or Desk
3. A Dresser/Chest
4. A Rug (I already have an old one I may use)
5. Chandelier
6. Trays and Baskets
