DIYing Some Neutral Botanical Art: a house log

Thanks to the fact that our master bedroom has a large floor length mirror (a surprise wedding gift from John so I could see myself before walking out the back door to get hitched)…

… the second mirror to the right of the bedroom door seemed a bit superfluous.

So we seized the opportunity to replace it with one of our homemade botanical prints in an inexpensive Ikea frame. I like it so much that I want another frame to hang right under it with a distinct botanical on display. But I will have to wait for our next Ikea trip…

We intentionally sized our homemade botanicals to fit into these strong square Ikea frames for a luxe look on the low-cost. A bit of nature does a bedroom good, and it is especially convenient when you do not even have to water it.

Perhaps it is the bulbs poking through our flowerbeds or the forsythia starting their annual show, but I also chose to swap out the art over my desk for something a little less glacial. We took the existing photo on our Alaskan honeymoon (snapped from the window of a compact sea plane as we flew over a glacier covered in volcanic ash). Needless to say it is one of our go-to images from the trip, but spring fever has me chasing something a bit more tropical…

So I pulled a two minute art swap using another botanical we made. And I am loving the lighter leafy vibe…

What about you folks? Does spring fever have you switching out accessories or art in your home? What sort of seasonal things do you do to usher in the warmer weather? Dish the spring-is-on-the-way dirt.

We brought in our den’s corner office area to the room-by-room source guide (found in a link on the top of our House Tour page) so you can now see where we snagged everything from those boxes and tins to our desk and our lamp.
