Large Black and White Abstract Art for the Office
Hi! I hope that you had a great weekend! Ours went by way too fast, but we did get a a lot done. Including moving the office around! Ive been wanting to move things around for a while, but the credenza is SO heavy, weve been putting it off.
The proportions + color of the pin board werent working with the rest of the space, so I decided to make a large scale abstract painting instead. I pinned this a few weeks and I kept going back to it, I love the punch of contrast that it adds to the space. So I decided to make my own version! I think it looks like a close up of coral, so I love the reference to the beach without being overly beachy :) Large scale abstract black and white paintings have been in recently, check out Bliss at Homes, Scout and Nimbles and The Hunted Interiors as well.

I created the frame from left over wood, so total cost for the frame was zero (isnt that always the best!)

I moved my lucite tray from the driftwood table and put a piece of wrapping paper on the bottom (from Target dollar section) to round up my pencils and other office supplies.

Finally, a view from the kitchen. Im loving the new arrangement! I really wish I would of done this a long time ago, but better late than never! This was the last project for the office (maybe a few frames to the left of the desk), so Ill have a room tour soon!
Check back tomorrow for the tutorial!
