It is week 6 of the One Room Challenge, and I’m excited to share a free printable I made! This DIY wall art was something I quickly put together in Photoshop. It is such a quick and budget friendly way to create some custom art on a budget. I’m also sharing my new area rug that totally transforms the room!

Here are some quick links so you can see all the progress I’ve made up until now. I started with applying wallpaper for an accent wall, added some accent lighting, and painted a dresser with Fusion Mineral Paint!

New Mohawk Area Rug
I am partnering with Mohawk rugs for my girls room makeover, and they sent me the most gorgeous rug for the room! When looking at area rugs I wanted to find something with a neutral pattern that would compliment the wallpaper well. I found this beautiful plaid patterned rug from Mohawk with a dark grey and creamy white and fell in love with it!
I love how it stands out in the room and provides some cozy texture and visual interest. Adding an area rug to a space can totally transform the look and feel! And I have to mention how soft it is! My daughters have loved sprawling out on the rug 🙂
DIY Wall Artwork – Free Printable
While shopping at Target in the dollar section I found an affordable large frame for only $5! It is white and included a matte, so it was perfect for a high-end look without a large price tag. I wanted to create a free printable for you guys (perfect if you have daughters!) so I created my own art in Photoshop.
I like how it turned out, and I used my trusty paint-tape trick to get level nails on the wall. Here are my steps for hanging artwork and getting it level:
How To Hang Level Pictures
- Grab some painter’s tape, nails, a hammer, and a level.
- Place your painter’s tape over the hanging hardware on the back of the picture frame. It should extend the entire width of the picture frame from end to end.
- You’ll press down on the tape to create an indentation of the hanging hardware into the tape (the shape of it will show on the tape).
- Use one of your nails to poke a hole into the tape where the nail will be placed on the wall (right under the hanging hardware).
- Place your painter’s tape onto the wall where you want the picture to go, and use a level to make sure the tape is level horizontally.
- Press your nail firmly into the wall where the holes in the tape are, creating a small hole in the wall. When you remove your tape from the wall you’ll be left with a small hole where you will nail your holes into.
I have been using this trick for years, and it works SO well! It is super helpful for hanging up artwork that has a set of hanging hardware on the back. Did you already know about this trick?
