Budget, budget, budget seems to be my mantra for this year. Keeping that in mind, when I was feeling like changing out the artwork in a frame that I have hanging in our Master Bathroom W.C., my options were to print something out from what I have saved on my computer or use an image from a two-year-old Cavallini calendar I’ve held onto.
I chose to go with the calendar. I still have about five images left in this calendar. I’ve used it before on several projects, one of which was shadowboxes I did here that are hanging over our bed.
I just used the existing image to cut the calendar page to fit. I even left the old image in and put the new image over it. This way I don’t have to worry about putting it somewhere {because I’ll never remember if/when I go to look for it}.
New image, new look! It satisfied my urge for something new and didn’t cost me anything.

I love images like these and love them in the painted frame!
ReplyDeleteKathy, this is my favorite kind of update- shopping the house. Your pictures and frames look great! What a lovely compliment to your bedroom!
ReplyDeleteI used four of the pages from the 2012 calendar for my entry way. They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it, there are some fabulous Calendars with the greatest images. Love this one.

Hi Kathy, love the changed out print. So much more fun then shopping for new artwork. It looks great over your bed and I do the same thing, keeping an old print behind the new. I surely will put it away and not remember where!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to use what we have and shop the house or our stash of graphics and calendars.
Everyone is watching their pennies these days!

Beautifully and frugally done. I adore calendar pages for lots of creative venues.
