Styling a New Print

Have you ever bought something for your home without knowing where you wanted it to go? It all started with a frame. A silver frame. 

I had been using it for years with a black mat for family photos but has my decor tastes have changed, I stopped using it.  So I decided to paint it white. (Yes, you can paint a metal frame!) I used interior paint with a sponge brush because I am trying to use up all of our paint before we move.  Otherwise, I would suggest spray painting it. 

I ordered a new print off of one of my favorite sites, Cozamia.com, that I have been wanting for a while.  The huge purple, blue, and pink print that is in our dining room is also from there. When the print came, it was too big.  I laid the glass on top of the print and traced around it. If your print is right side up, you can center it how you want. 

After I finished framing it, I tried hanging it in my room.

I liked it next to our tall dresser but I wasn’t completely convinced. 

I knew the colors would work perfectly with our blue and white bedside tables. A couple of books and accessories styled it perfectly.

It is however, my bedside table and I need a few other things. 😉

For now it will stay. 

It matches our bedding and brightens up the corner. 

Every time I go in the room now, I smile.

When is the last time you brought a new piece into your home? Did you have a plan or just fell in love with it?
