I love being able to share things that I’ve learned and have worked for me… but I love even more being able to share the work of someone who has completely inspired me! I have invited Lexi, my super sweet and talented sister-in-law to share some of her DIY projects with us and thankfully, she has accepted. I love how she and her husband Steve work together on projects to make their home a beautiful place. What a great way to strengthen your marriage! This DIY Herringbone Canvas Art project would be perfect for your home, I promise!
Hi everyone! My name is Lexi, and I am so excited that Carisa has invited me to her super cute blog!! Being able to share what I do with Carisa, but more importantly you guys, is something I am so looking forward to!! We all need some spice in life…let me show you what some of that spice is!
This art piece is super simple. You ready for it??

Oh my goodness, love this! First of all, that painting is beautiful even before the herringbone! Second, it turned out amazing! I am looking for ideas for baby girl’s nursery so I may have to do this on a small scale for her! Thanks Lexi and Carisa!
Carisa says
I know! Aren’t Lexi and Steve super talented? Thanks for commenting and I would be super excited to see what you come up with if you decide to do it!

Where on the canvas did you lay your first bit of painter’s tape?
Fabulous design. LOVE it!!!
Carisa says
Thank you Diana! Lexi started in one of the corners and worked down the edge initially and then worked across.

Hi there, I just added a link to this page from my blog post about making a herringbone painting. Yours turned out absolutely beautiful and it inspired me to make my own! http://lovelikeenamel.blogspot.com/2014/10/herringbone-painting.html
Carisa says
Wow! Thanks so much for linking back! I checked yours out and it is beautiful and super fun! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Lindsay says
Tried this tonight! For the most part it worked out great. Downside was doing the herringbone. It was so hard and ours turned out crooked even after multiple attempts of restarting. I still like it but it’s not as nice as yours you creative soul!
Carisa says
I’m sure it looks great! I’m so glad you were able to make it!! It does take a lot of work to get all those pieces of tape in the right spot. Thanks for stopping by!!
Sara says
Can you please link the original art that inspired this DIY, I can’t find it!
Carisa says
It looks like the pin that inspired me has been taken down!! I’m so sorry!
Tracey says
This is gorgeous. You did a fabulous job. I love the color scheme you chose but I can’t find the exact one. Can you give me the name of it please?
Thanks!
Tracey
