As I am moving everything back into our home…(you can read all about that RIGHT HERE), I am putting things back together in new ways. Some of it is still pretty much the same, but I have also shifted a bit on my style. While I love mixing old and new and would definitely say I have a very eclectic style, I tend to gravitate away from the overall farmhousey style. You will even see a little bit of what you may would call “abstract”…although not TOO far in that direction.
But…nevertheless, this little upcycle today is in the realm of the abstract!
I loved this canvas with white on white that I found at Hobby Lobby (it doesn’t really look like something they would have does it?!), but I felt like it needed a little something.
I felt like it needed RED LIPS!
That would surely be a simple, yet dramatic pop to this piece…don’t you agree?
I grabbed my cardinal crimson acrylic paint and got to work!
Talk about a 5 minute project, y’all! It was EASY PEASY!
I simply took my red paint and a very thin paint brush and brushed right along the lip outline…and BAM! What a fun difference!
This may not be your cup of tea, but I have to say….I am LOVING IT. It did exactly what I wanted it to do. It gave a sense of glamour and fun and color…all in one.
Never be afraid to step outside of the box a little bit and play around. It is super fun and you never know what you may come up with!
Be sure to PIN FOR LATER!

Agree, it needed the red lips!
I had 5 years of Home Economics, 8th thru 12th. Somewhere in that time I learned that you were to have at least a tiny bit of red in every room. You probably do and don’t realize it, if not get a touch of red in there. It could be a print with a tiny flower, a streak of red, etc.
