Just as a reminder. This is what it looked like when we moved in.

And this was when it looked like when we first re-did the mantel.

See the DIY Mantel Post here, and here.

I liked the way we did the mantel at first. But there is just something about really big art that brings a level of sophistication to a room. So I got an itch to try and do a DIY piece of art. I first found the below inspiration and knew I wanted to try and re-create. It was from the HGTV Smart Home in North Carolina Last year. I love how sophisticated the large piece of art made the whole room feel.

So, with the help of my husband we gave it a whirl.

Making the art was super fun. I pulled my husband in, he was a double major in multi-media and fine art in college. So he was a huge help in the process.

I love the crisp blue tones with the white and the pop of green. Can’t wait to decorate the mantel for Christmas!!!
