I've been feeling the urge to lighten up my living/kitchen area. It's a pretty large space that flows along the back of the house. The base of it is light -- creamy walls and white cabinets, but there is a lot of red including a red sofa, and dark counters. I'm not able to replace the sofa at the moment and the counters are here to stay for the foreseeable future. So, accents are the way that I'm going to change things up.
I've had these old prints up since right after we moved in. I mounted them on fabric, which I really like for the extra interest and texture. However, the dark colors feel so heavy to me now. And, I'm done with that rooster.
I made a quick and easy change by re-mounting the prints on ivory linen and switching the rooster out for a bird print.
It's just a little thing, but I feel like it updates that space above the hall opening.
I really like this sweet bird print.
If you'd like to do a project like this, it only takes 1/4-1/3 yard of fabric and there are so many wonderful sources for prints online.
