Wall Art Collage

As promised in my first post, I am going to be sharing with you my most recent endeavors in the world of my room. Since this came together, I am very proud of how my room turned out. With the help of Francesca's, Hobby Lobby, Target, Joann Fabrics, Command Strips, and my parents, my room is looking AMAZING and I am very happy with its turnout. 


This is how the entire collage looks. After about 2 months of collecting different pieces that I thought would look good, it all came together and I am very proud of how it looks!

 This is the collage up close :)


 This is a piece I found at a Francesca's in Florida. I know that different Francesca's have different products, so I do not know exactly which store to find it at (if you do not know what Francesca's is, it is a wide-spread boutique).  But, I did find it online with the following link:  http://www.francescas.com/product/she+thought+she+could+medium+wall+art.do 
As long as you have some sort of pink/red/coral in your room or house, this would seriously go with any decor. It is a really good size too! Not to big or too small. Although I will mention it is a little heavy, so we had to use nails to hang it other than Command Strips (which we used for more than half of the wall art).



This is probably one of my favorite pieces of the collage. I found it a few years ago at Hobby Lobby. It was an extra piece from my old house, but it went perfectly with my vision, so I used it and I am really happy how it turned out. It adds a unique flare to the entire collage. I did manage to find the bike at the Hobby Lobby website, which is the following link:

This is a really cute piece from Target. It is a really good filler for empty places in your collage, and anything small like this will work for a filler. But really, how cute is this? You can hang this up with the small wall hanging Command Strips. You can find this at the following link:

Any type of banner like this will tie your whole collage together (you can also do a picture strand, which I will be doing a DIY on in the near future). This particular banner has chalkboard hang things (is there a formal name for those?) and I think that it is so cute. I found this at Target. I chose dance because I am a dancer, and it totally worked out. You can find this at the following link:

 This was a cute frame that was given to me. You can find this a JC Penny. I think it is a really cute pink color, and it The design is cool too! It is also an awesome filler. BTW, this is a picture of me and my friends :). The brand at JC Penny is called Happy Chic, and you can find it at this link:

I also have a similar frame in green from the Happy Chic collection, but it is discontinued. It is in my living room and it looks amazing!


This is a really cute filler piece from Target! The weathered off-white color goes with virtually anything. Unfortunately, this product was discontinued :(. But I have seen these types of mirrors at Target before!

 This is a really cute and fun DIY project! I found this large S at JoAnn Fabric. I applied these photos using my homemade Modge Podge (which will be a soon-to-come post). It was very easy, and it looks so cute. The S was a bit hard though because all the curves. It was difficult to match the cutting with the exact curves. Mine is not exact, but you cant tell unless you really look. It is so easy, it takes 20 minutes, it is inexpensive, and super cute. I totally recommend doing this little mini project.



This was not part of my collage, but it will soon be hanging over my dresser. It has such bright colors and It is really cute. And, it has glitter. Everything with glitter is pretty cool. I got this at a cute boutique near my house, so you would not be able to find it online. Not only is the scripture amazing, but also it is really cute wall art.



And just in case you were wondering, this bedspread was found on overstock.com. It is SO COMFORTABLE. It is really thick and you can tell it is really high quality. It is really busy, but I still like it. Also, like I said, my room is still a work in progress, therefore ignore the lack of throw pillows. You can find this bedspread at this link:
