Master Bath Wall Art

If you don't already know, I'm up past my eyeballs in renovation/decorating, trying to finish up my bedroom. I'm hoping to enter it in a couple linky contests (Imagine the Impossibilities, and Whisperwood Cottage's, First Projects of 2012) located on my sidebar.

My project, for the past couple nights, was to make some wall art for my bathroom. It has never had been decorated AT ALL, (besides a couple mismatched towels). 

I purchased these two frames at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago. They were on the 90% off rack and totaled to about $4 each. I think they are nice frames, but as the house has evolved, they never seemed to have place to go. 

Fronts and backs.

When I saw this wall art below, (she sells these in her Etsy store) at Grand Design, the backs of my frames popped in my head, and I knew what I was going to do with them!

By painting the backs, I can still use the front part of the frame if I want someday.

Ok, so my stencil (that I made out of a cereal box) was too narrow, so I painted two zigzags rows at a time with the same color to make them thicker. 

Carpe Diem means "to live for the day". Growing up I was told it meant "Seize the Day". 

I thought that would be an appropriate thing to see in the morning! 

I hung a little branch and used one of my $ store birds (wish I would have bought 20 of these birds, but that's another story). 

and .....now I'm basically done with the bathroom in my room! Just a little bit of window treatment left (to be seen later this week).
