Well one of my big projects this summer (that extended into the fall, and then the winter . . .) was my picture tree. My dad bought this picture three at an auction because he though I might like it. Here is how it came to me:
I thought that I had gotten a good before picture, of what it looked like all put together, but I can't seem to find it. So you are just going to have to guess (think light wood and symmetrical branches that went straight up the tree making it look somewhat like a spider)
My first step was to paint it. I choose Esspresso Brown spray paint from Menards and I went to town (Arty was helping me out :))
Next I ordered some pictures to put in the frames and then came the hard part. Hanging it up and deciding which branches to keep. I ended up with only half of the original branches:
Once I got this up I decided that it still wasn't complete. I wanted it to look more like a tree. So I took the extra unused branches and made some of the branches longer(okay, Chris did most of this part).
That, along with the leaves from dali decals (which were really easy to put up) and I finally got a tree that I love:
And there you have it. My big project, FINALLY done! And I love it.
Laura it looks SO cute!!!! I especially love all the leaves you added to it to make it look like a "real" tree, that was a really good call.
