Redecorating Shelving Unit Including DIY Projects

I recently redecorated my DIY plumbing pipe shelving unit and decided to post a new picture.  I like it much better than before, but it still isn't exactly where I want it to be.  Styling this bookshelf has been more difficult than building it!  Below are some of the DIY projects and links to their original post.  A couple of them have not been posted yet.  Please comment if you would like me to post any of my projects sooner!

  1. Plumbing Pipe Shelving Unit

  2. Wooden Globes

  3. Bowl to Basket Project

  4. DIY Canvas Picture (Simply used black and white on canvas)

  5. DIY Nail and String Art (Posting Soon)

  6. Fabric Box

DIY Canvas Art Using Lines

My next post is another DIY canvas art project that is very easy.  I started this project using oil pastels choosing the main colors that I wanted in the picture (blue-gray, green, and yellow) and added a few lines of purple and navy in the mix to break up the main colors.  The oil pastels turned out way too light so I went over the oil pastels with paint.  It would definitely work just using paint instead of oil pastels.  Just start creating the lines and that's it!

Easy Canvas Painting by Adding Water

This project is a canvas painting that I created by painting a layer of color and then simply adding layers of color and then water.  I used a damp dish sponge to help hide the brush strokes.  After the paint dried, I added a layer of varnish to achieve a glossy look.
