I chose my entryway "niche" for this project:
This art project was really easy. It is just canvases covered in textured wallpaper that I painted. Lowes had their textured wallpaper on sale for something like $3 and I already had the canvases from another project that failed miserably.
I covered the canvases in wallpaper, then painted them (our cabinet color). Then I took a little of the paint I used on the wall that these go on and mixed it with the brown to make a slightly lighter hue. I very lightly rolled over the canvases with this color, and it highlighted the raised part and it barely touched the parts that weren't raised giving it a distressed look. Then I went over the raised parts again with a small brush with the plain wall color.

The second I saw this I knew it was Sarah's idea. She's great! I love that you did it and yeah, what's with the creepy mirror? I really like your doormat art & I think 4 would work too (I'm also a "3" person, but I'm a crazy symmetry person). I'm saving your Blog for later... thanks! Marti
