Aimless Tangents

Texture in the bedroom is my main goal right now.  To that end, I have had an idea for circle wall art for a long time.  Ever since I saw it done on another blog that I sadly cannot find again.  I’m not sure what they used for their circles but I decided on wooden embroidery hoops.  Whenever Hobby Lobby had a sale I stocked up.  I would also buy broken ones from the clearance section so long as the solid inner circle was intact.

Yesterday I gathered up all of my embroidery hoops of differing sizes and separated the inner and outer circles.  For this project I only used the inner circle.  Not sure yet what I’m going to do with the outer ones.  I applied two coats of acrylic paints in colors I already had that coordinated well with both the summer and winter bedding. 

Today I finished up the painting (I had left blank spots so I could handle the hoops with no problems while wet) and hung them.  I started with the largest and hung it somewhat in the middle.  From there I just randomly chose colors and sizes while trying to keep two identical circles away from one another. 

The hoops are hung by a clear thumbtack just pushed into the wall wherever I thought it would hang best.  (My thumb is now killing me.)

Ignore the crooked headboard, I still haven’t taken the time to hang it so it is just propped up against the wall at the moment.

Now I’m faced with a dilemma.  The wall that the bed is against is the longest wall in the bedroom.  The bed (and its art) is pretty much in the middle of the wall.  I’m trying to decide if I should just leave the remainder of the wall empty or try to find other, complementary art to hang on either side.

And yes, the frog tape is still up, we are having issues with the trim paint.  The is a door jamb at the very edge of the picture on the left.  I’ve got a large-ish area right there where I could put something on the wall and (thanks to the other door that isn’t always open) another medium-ish area on that end to put something.  Or leave blank.  I can’t decide.
