Modern Vintage Art Redo

I just finished this project yesterday, and I was too excited about it to wait until next week to post it! I loved Abby's Modern Vintage Art , but I wanted to add some of the teal color into it. At first I was just going to change the bow in the little girls hair to a teal one, but slowly I ended up change everything. (Isn't that how most projects turn out). Well you know me, enough chit chat and on to the pictures ;)

I LOVE the soft airy feel going on in her room now!

Here are some closeups of each piece!!!

I added the same trim I used on the Ric Rac Cuff Sheets over the black velvet. I think it looks like a completely different frame with the teal finish on it!

For the Little Girl, I changed out the background to one that matches her Photo Art Blocks. The color is a little darker in this picture than in real life.

For the Little Boy's picture I changed out paper to again match the Photo Art Blocks. Then added a pink bow tie!

I LOVE the way these turned out!!! From the teal distressed frame to the real metal keys and locks ! Much better than the before paper version!

This cute hair bow holder I made yesterday to go in the middle, it fills the space so much better than the smaller frame. I hot glued the ric rac on the inner grove of the frame, then added the lace across the back.

Here is a close up of the fabric flowers I added to the bottom corner! :) They make me happy, and Abby too. She keeping going in her room and saying ooooh pretty flowers. :D

One last picture of that side of the room! It is finally coming together.

Oh I forgot I haven't done a post about her closet makeover ;) Well that is coming soon my friend.
I have a few more projects I want to tackle still.
- new curtains
- old mantle shelf with knobs
- lace bunting

I am so excited to see how it all comes together! :) Tell me what do you think? Do you LOVE the pink and teal together as much as I do?

Thanks for stopping by,

I think I am going to make Abby a faux fur wrap in black with a big satin bow! I don't know if I should make it tie in the front or on the side! What do you think?
