Homemade Art for My New Room

This past weekend, I made a little homemade art. All it took was three 10x10 canvases, some really cute fabric (mine is from IKEA), and a staple gun.

I cut the fabric out 14x14 so I would have enough room to wrap it around the canvases, and then I folded the corners just like a present.
I really like how they turned out, and am excited to hang them . . .
in my newly painted room!:
No more firetruck red walls!
The room isn't finished yet. I still need to repaint the trim. It currently is an old off-white color which is starting to yellow. I'll be repainting it pure white.
Part of me wanted to wait until the whole room was decorated before posting any pictures. But, knowing my budget, that could take a LONG time, so now you'll just have to see the step by step progress. I'm planning the whole room in black and white decor.
I must say, it's fun to have a place to decorate!
