Today, I am working on the metal wall art which hangs on the back porch wall for the last few years.
I found the piece in Kohl’s a couple years ago, however as the color of the back porch changes so does this piece.

For a quick second I was unsure if I was going to place the metal piece back up on the wall. With the designs in the outdoor rug, I felt with a color change it could possibly work.
I found similar metal art for those interested.
First Step – Paint the background color.
I used a gloss dark gray and a flat metallic antique nickel to achieve the background color.
Using the flat dark grey first, giving it one good coat.
To give a sheen to the piece I gave a light coat with the antique nickel.
Second Step – Give it character
Keeping with the color palette of the back porch decorations I am using Apple Barrel craft paint in the colors pavement, sky blue and antique parchment.
Each medallion I highlighted the design with paint.
Third Step – Wipe off for a distressing effect
When the paint dries take a damp cloth and rub off the amount of paint you want.
Last Step – Seal your art work
To seal all my work I used Rust-oleum semi gloss clear sealer, giving it one coat.
Once your piece has dried, place it up on the wall and enjoy!
It’s a simple way to create a custom piece for your home.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂

Thanks Cindy. It really does look super cute with it all. I’ll be sharing that on our Summer tour!
Your wall art looks brand new! You did a great job with the painting. Pinned it! Never know when you might come across a slightly battered and faded piece and this is a super way to renew it.
Thanks Donna! Thanks for sharing my project with your Pinterest board. I agree it renews a piece that needs a pick me up!
