Adding finishing touches on a budget

Unfortunately I have only the after picture as I had these done before I joined this site. I was at a loss to find nice canvases for the walls that matched my colour scheme and my pocket. I found artists canvases in my local Euro2 shop for €2 an painted them with the leftover paint. To do the designs you can do anything that you wish.

Second pic is of pics i made from some leftover wood and wallpaper. I had decorated one wall in the wallpaper and painted the other 3 so i decided to tie it all together with these.

I'm thinking of doing something like this in my kitchen too but on the wall itself! My range blew 2 weeks ago and covered the kitchen with soot & in trying to clean it we removed some paint and now it needs repainting. I'm thinking of painting the wall at the cooker in chocolate, the remainder of the walls in yellowy creamy colour and I was going to paint something in aqua on the chocolate wall. These pics are fantastic. So well done.
