Snow Day Shenanigans

Well we finally got our snow! It started late last night shortly after 9pm. And man was I excited! I am such a kid when it comes to snow. I absolutely love it!
Being the smart gal I am, I made some preparations for the Snowpacolypse of 2014. I bought 2 bottles of wine, some Havarti cheese, pita crackers and spinach dip. I also bought some inexpensive canvases should the wine spark my creativity.
Luckily it did!
 
I love the colors of this SUPER expensive Ikat print throw pillow. I thought it would be cool to replicate the colors onto a canvas. So I busted a sweet freestyle and went to town.
The inspiration: This $230 pillow




 
 
I apologize for the crappy cell phone quality of these photos. I am no Picasso, but I think the finished product looks pretty darn good!
 
8x10 canvas: $1.69 
acrylic paint in various colors: already owned
paint brushes in various sizes: gifted
 
Total cost of this art project: $1.69


And here's a few shots from our snow day!

  2. Thanks! The hallway project is a work in progress but I knew that I wanted to choose colors that would coordinate with the overall look.
