There's no question that art is a wonderful way to tie a room together. But let's
face it--filling blank wallspace can be quite pricey. After canvassing art stores for a look she
loved and finding only very expensive pieces, this homeowner had a stroke of genius. She purchased
blank canvases and used her own paint to personalize her walls.
"I wanted something contemporary for my home, but I could not afford expensive artwork," she
says. So she purchased several blank canvases and some paint in her favorite colors, and she created
a few of her own wonderful works. "Friends who visit are surprised to learn who the artist is," she
notes with a smile. If you would like to harness your own creativity and add a few items of interest
