"Picasso" for less

My Ikea adventures continue, as does the snowstorm in Helsinki.

This time it was living room's turn to go for a spring makeover. I selected two fabrics from Ikea range and 2 frames to update the look of our fireplace. Fabrics cost around 6 eur / m and 1 meter was certainly enough if not less. it was just important to find the right swatch of the pattern. I wanted the Fuji like mountain and a girl with the green eyes to be  central points of my "paintings". The right one does look like Picasso's creation, doesn't it? Except its total cost was 15 eur.


Picasso, "The Dream":



Along came trendy Marimekko-ish pillows. And i didn't pick them for the print only. I like the mid size of them and non-slidy thick cotton covers. Total cost 16eur.


The print on the pillows reminds me of Marimekko's "Puutarhurin parhaat"  ("Garden's best") fabric.



So, here we have living room makeover for under 50 eur!
