Let's face it- every once in a while, we all get really bored with the way our houses or apartments are decorated. In Amber's case, she hasn't been in her new apartment long enough to to be bored with the decor, but her parents were coming into town and she needed a fast way to liven up some bare walls.
Enter two of my favorite stores....Target and Paper Source! Amber had an idea of what she wanted to put up on the walls (fancy framed paper), but she enlisted me to help her with the execution. Got half an hour to spare? Then see below for the step-by-step!
1) Amber picked out three frames at Target; two of these glass with black frames, and one that was a polished metal frame with matting. You can choose any size that will work in the space that you need to fill. We got our frames for $20 each.
2) Choose some fancy paper to be framed. You can use the same paper for all of your frames, or choose different pieces for each frame. Amber chose two coordinating pink pieces and a platinum piece for the center frame. We got each piece at Paper Source for a total of about $18.
3) Cut each piece to fit into the frames
4) And hang!
This project cost us less than $80 and totally filled the blank space above Amber's couch. Super-easy, super-fast, and super-versatile. When the holidays roll around, you can switch out the paper for something more festive!
