Traditional to Contemporary with an Award!

For my Trash to Treasure this week I wanted to share a picture my sister did for our basement family room.
My sister Kate moved into our basement us last year. She and her daughters have their own bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and the large Family Room which is contemporary in style. It sports a bright Red Tomato accent wall. She had more traditional furniture with aqua, brown and black accents. So the hunt began to make the room look and feel like their own without spending much money.
This used framed art was a great find. Although the picture was pretty, it wouldn’t go in the room.

She found this great print at Michael’s for just a few dollars on a sale. She turned the original picture around, spray painted a used mat, black . She added the New Print for a whole new Contemporary look for just a few dollars and Whaa Laa! Our basement looks great with all her wonderful talents!
For more 'Trash to Treasures' go visit Diane at A picture is worth a 1000 words, where she is hosting this event each Tuesday.

And I received this award from a darling lady Melanie from the United Kingdom who I met when I first started blogging, five months ago. She is sooo talented! She posts marvels from cooking, sewing and decorating. She is awesome about showing us around her beautiful Kingdom. I love the journeys she takes us on. Please pay our 'Jelly Bean Angel' a visit!
I want to pass this award to a talented Photographer, Sharon who has posted some incredible photos of New England in the Fall.
And to my friend Cindy of Rosehaven who shared wonder insights to, 'What Kind of Pumpkin are You?' She also is an amazing Photographer and writer.
Last, but certainly not least, I have been impressed with all of YOUR Fall decorating ideas so I want to pass this wonderful award to all those who reads my blog, so you can pass it to those who you have enjoyed. You are awesome! Thanks for the inspiring ideas you share:)
