May 14th update...just posted a $75 Shabby Apple Giveaway! Make sure to enter!
I went through quite a few paint samples before I found the right one for the guest room and the guest bathroom. Bless Shane's heart. He was very patient with me.
So many pretty colors. I knew there must be something I could use them for.
How about a little canvas art? I painted three canvases a nice base color. White would be fine too.
I waited for the base to dry completely. Then I made patterns with paint tape. I wanted squares.
Paint the exposed canvas. Let dry. I recommend two coats.
Hello yellow.
Even a couple pops of color works.
Once dry, carefully pull the tape away.
Voila!
I wanted a little "Pottery Barn like" shelf collage...
to go with my (big splurge) Pottery Barn bedding and Etsy pillows
Love it.
This shelf over the bed trend is fabulous.
Yellow and turquoise together is scrumptious.
Creating art for super cheap is my favorite.
See who I'm linking up with here.

Oh my, super lovely! The colors are just perfect. :)
Looks neat!
I've heard so many people complain about Valspar paint. How did you like it?
I love the shelf and the canvas art, so pretty!! I'm now thinking of adding some turquoise accents to my yellow bedroom as well!
Now I really must send you the little thing , I've been meaning to send for the last year. I think it will go perfectly in this room, seeing you've added turquoise to your color scheme.

No problem with the Valspar paint so far!
The shelf and all that's on it is just wonderful. I think its great that you used all your paint samples to create a unique piece of art for your room.

What a beautiful way to use those samples. The artwork turned out lovely. Enjoy! Megan
The shelf and art look wonderful with the bed. Your guests are never going to want to leave!
The colors go very well together.
I think I need to get rid of my huge headboard and put a shelf up instead!
Lovely colors!! I adore a shelf above a bed. Such a great look!
I've pinned and shared on FB!
