Well hiya.
Awhile back I mentioned that I bought a sort of different-for-me canvas print from Homesense. I thought the silvery-grey colours would look mighty snazzy with my new Gray Owl paint. So I snatched it right up. It sat leaning along the wall in our dining room for pretty much ever until Cooper started motoring around and getting into all kinds of mischief.
We waited so long to hang it because we thought we needed some crazy contraption ladder. Finally we decided to try using just a tall ladder from the garage. And it worked! We had it hung up within a half hour. That's record time for picture hanging at our wonky un-level house.
The large picture is a perfect fit for the spot and the colours are really subtle and pretty. I'm really happy with it!
Again, my original plan was to hang an old, rickety ladder in that space but since I already have an old ladder in the breakfast room I don't want to be known as the crazy internet ladder girl.
Here is the spot before:
And here is the spot after:
Sorry about the awkward pictures. I had to jam myself against the upstairs bathroom wall to get them!
The next picture will show you how big the canvas is:
The card on the back says it's by Australian artist Sarah Brooke. I can't remember exactly how much it was but I'm pretty sure it used up a lot of my allowance if-you-know-what-I-mean.
I love when my walls aren't bare! Yay! ;)

I love your wall color and the new art! I have the hardest time being able to find hard that I think I can commit to. I change my mind a million times when it comes to art and pillows!
ReplyDeleteI love grey owl. Such pretty colors in the painting. It suits that space perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome in that space....and the little plant it cute too! Is that light fixture from Home Depot???
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda!
DeleteThe light was a special order from a local lighting store in our city. I tried to figure out the company awhile back but with no luck.
I'll do a bit more digging and if I find out the info I will write a quick post about it because I've had a few people ask lately. :)
Great, thanks!! :)
DeleteOh, really, really nice picture. Can't believe it took you so long to hang it! I would've had it up immediately, ladder or no ladder!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteHi there again!! I painted gray owl in my upstairs bathroom and it does not look like yours at all...or at least not like the pics. Mine has a green/gray tone...does yours??
ReplyDeleteThe wall colour in the above picture is Old Prairie by Benjamin Moore. We used Gray Owl (lightened by 50%) on the bottom half of the stairwell and on the main floor!
DeleteI am so happy with Grey Owl in our home and your new art looks great!! Your home is so pretty, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat color paint is on the walls? Looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt is Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore mixed at 1/2 tint (or some say mixed 50% lighter).
DeleteOops! Never mind. I see you posted it right in front of my face : (
