Did it myself: A Budget Friendly Pinboard.

Alright, alright, now y'all already know I spend far too much time on Pinterest--so it was a natural progression for me to move from online pin boards to actual ones.

With the re-doing of my room, I really wanted to have a board above my desk with inspiration as well as important reminders. So I made my way down to Staples to buy myself a cork board, after spending $20 there, I walked past foam board in the dollar store and realised I could probably get the same look, and also the same usage for a lot less.

The board cost me a grand total of $11.10 to make. The majority of which was the fabric-- the gold taffeta I wanted was $12.00/metre.

What you'll need:

•  2 foam boards
•  half metre of your chosen fabric
• can of spray adhesive 
• 3M Heavy Duty Mounting Squares

Art I can afford.

Contrary to what this blog states, I do not spend my life on Pinterest, though it may seem so. However, today's post does come straight from the site. I follow a lot of people that have art boards and I saw this one pin about an artist on Etsy that does oil paintings that are reasonably priced.

Now I've been combing sites for art for my bedroom as I'm doing it over, and was going to settle for giclee prints of pieces I loved but wouldn't be able to afford. 
These pieces I found are by an artist named Luiza Vizoli, and are absolutely breath-taking. She does modern abstract textured oil paintings, exactly what I want.

You can have a look at her Etsy store, I'll show you my favourites.
