Great upcycle when you are in a pinch for wall art! Orange & Navy Wall Art Upcycle Makeover with thrift store canvases! Easy way to refresh an old painting. See more of my home decor projects in my collection.

Hi guys! Today is the second Thrift Store Decor Upcycle! I’ve teamed up with 19 of my favorite bloggers for a monthly challenge to make something fantastic out of something thrifted!

I found two watercolor canvases and thought they would be perfect to makeover. The canvases were in great shape and the hardware was almost new.

Lately, I’ve been addicted to blue and orange everything, just take a look at my blog colors this Spring. When I saw these pics I knew I could add some colorful paint to perk these guys up. Let’s do a makeover!!

Orange Navy Wall Art Makeover

Supplies:

Thrift Store Canvases
Acrylic Paint: White, Navy Blue, Coral, Steel (Grey) Blue
Paint Brushes

Instructions:

Paint all the white areas first with two coats of white paint to brighten the background.

I followed the pattern that was already on the canvases. I added coral and blue colors randomly in the pattern. Touch up with baby wipes when needed. Let it dry and you are ready to hang!

I hung them over my hall tree to brighten up my entryway for summer and they came out so fun. I love the color pop when you walk in the door! Who knew those two dingy pics could look so amazing!

Now let’s check out what the other bloggers made over!

Here’s the low down~

I’ve paired up with 19 other talented ladies to bring you a monthly Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. Each month we will create a new home decor piece from an item(s) we’ve found at a thrift store, yard sale, resale shop etc. There is no budget or specific theme so we are free to let our creativity run wild!

Meet the Hosts

So clever to use the print that was already there. Love the new modern look of the canvases.

Great project! I admit the hat and bag really visually drew me in, though…. :) Must try an epicycle myself.

Also just wanted to point out your image misspells the word “upcycle” and says “upcyce” instead.

You made it look so easy! I love that you simply repainted the design rather than start from scratch. My mantra is work smarter, not harder. Orange is a fun color for summer!

These canvases really brighten up your room for spring. It’s great that the pattern on them was one that you liked so that you could simply paint over it.
