After reading a fabulous article with 101 ways to spruce up and change your decor I tried a few. One suggested to make a bigger impact use a small picture for a center wall, you can see this in my master bedroom photo. To do this I had to brin
g a little symmetry to the wall with a window to one side. Everything I used I had in my house expect a $2 bottle of silver spray paint I bought to change a curtain rod from brass to match the other two in the room. I also purchased a $10 mirror and painted it white to create a faux window. I was pleasantly surprised on the outcome. With the afternoon sunlight the mirror lights up quite nicely reflecting the sun from the "real" windows.
A second idea was to paint your front door green
. I bought a $3 sample can of Valspar's Spring Meadow and it covered my maroon door completely in 3 coats.
The third change I tried was grouping all of my gold framed watercolors, prints, and etches and hung them on my orange dinning room wall to
break up the bold color and to complement my recently decorated dinning table. I am still looking for a chandelier so i will post a pic of the dinning room when it is completed.
