$3.99 DIY Painted pillow

I have a thing for painted brush strokes mostly because when I see them I think to myself with joy, "I can do that!" Painterly brush strokes have been all the rage for quite some time from artwork to fashion. They give that perfect touch of "abstract art museum" to your home. I…
