Hello I'm Jennifer. Today's video is going to be how to decorate above your
headboard. Be sure to stay to the end of the video
because I have some great tips on how to choose wall decor.
So let's get started. So for the first idea
of something to put above your bed you could choose a unique architectural
piece. Now my go-to place to shop is flea
markets, my favorite, also antique stores and the piece above
my bed is one I found at the flea market for $40.
It was a dark wood but I chalk painted it
and added just a coat of polyurethane over the top.
So there's a couple reasons why I chose this piece. One of course it has flowers
in it. The detail of it is beautiful. I love
flowers but the second reason was for me personally it has a little
significance because I grew up playing the piano.
So if you're looking for something above your bed you want to save a budget
architectural pieces are the way to go. So for the second idea is to put some
artwork above your bed and to do two pieces and
that way you're kind of splitting the difference of the space above the
headboard. Now I want to talk to you about the
artwork that's above my bed right now. It's Kohl's and it's her DIY project.
You guys have met Kohl before and I'm going to let her tell you about
this. So my first question is where did you get the inspiration on how
to do this project? Well I had seen some art that I really
loved that was similar to this with
the little shells and the oversized mat and I loved it and it was
incredibly expensive. So on our last beach trip as a family
my husband and my son found some seashells
and I knew that it was something that I wanted to frame
and you know keep those memories and you know have something from that season
together and so I thought to frame the shells
similarly to how I saw them. Okay and so that's such a great idea too
because I mean how many of us have gone to the beach
and we have the seashells and we either stuck them in a jar somewhere
or they're in a drawer somewhere. What a fabulous way to display that and like
you said every time you look at it it's a memory.
Yeah it's a memory of a sweet season that I don't want to forget
and we have it forever. I just love that and so I noticed
the shells and the back of the shells is that a gray mat and you just ask them to
put the gray mat behind it. Yep I did a custom framing at Michaels or
they have it at Hobby Lobby and I did the gray mat so
it would contrast with the white shell. That's so smart and do they glue the
shells on or did you have to do that? Nope they did everything.
Really and they spaced them all out? Okay I like somebody else doing the math.
Yeah. Okay that is perfect. Okay well I want to say thank you for sharing that
idea. What a great DIY project and like you
saved a ton of money too. Yeah. Okay so for the third idea I'm
really extra excited about this one. I carry a vendor in our store that does
a lot of signs, word signs and we've become friends and I
contacted her and asked if she could do three different sayings that will be
JD's exclusives and she agreed to do it. They're on our
online store. The one I chose today that I wanted to
show you is one of my favorite quotes. Any day spent with you is my favorite
day so today is my new favorite day. The other
two sayings are perfect for a bedroom so
you'll have to check out my online store. Let me share with you my tips on how to
choose wall decor for a room. So I like to have continuity in a room
but I also like to have variance on each wall and what I mean by that is
so if I put say I have a mirror on one wall
so on the next wall maybe I'll have a bigger piece of artwork
so then on the next wall I might do two smaller pieces of artwork and either
hang them staggered or one on top of each other and then for
that fourth wall I might choose some word art like we
showed in the video. This is a great way to not have repetition in the room.
I hope you enjoyed these tips and I hope they're helpful.
