In just a few mintues.....

you can transform a room.............or start to anyway. Sadly enough, this frame has been sitting empty for 2 years!!!! I was so excited to have bought it at a really good sale price, then waited a year to find the perfect spot. Found it, placed it and it has sat empty for another year. *sigh*. anyone else have "projects" like this???

SO, one sunday afternoon I decided to take the reins on this project and and finally finish what I had wanted to do all along! and it took like 10 minutes!!! I picked out some scrap fabrics that went along with the color scheme and feel of the room and popped them into the openings of the mat leaving me some spaces to add personal family photos.

Granted the photos showing are still the ones that come in the frame from the store...................but we are making progress! tee hee he

It has completely changed the room (to me anyway) and created a fun focal point for that area of the room.

You know I love frames and here is just another fun way to dress up or change the decor of any room quickly and for little to no money! If you'd like more "framed" ideas, check out my past tutorial.


Thanks Kari of Ucreate for featuring my photos and idea.

Framed.....

I have a love affair with frames. All shapes, sizes, colors, textures, age, etc. I LOVE them! I could buy up frames everyday but don't. tee hee he. It's probably why I love buying old wooden windows too. It's a frame right???

I hit the jackpot at a yard sale - was it this past summer or the summer before??? can't remember now. Anyway, I bought a bunch of old but cool frames that I could just see the potential in. I've always wanted to create a collage on a wall of empty frames......but have yet to do it.........................they are still sitting in the garage.

My sister though however has created a beautiful arrangement in her home so I just had to share it with you! She placed all of her frames inside one large one. And if you can't find one big enough...... make it, of course!!! Decorative molding would do the trick and be a quick and easy project to complete.

Doesn't it look GREAT? I love the combination of all the textures, colors and how the different shapes play off each other and compliment one other. It's very easy on the eye yet fun too.
So anyone running off to create one of your own? Be sure to post and share on your blog and let me know if you do!!
Enjoy the weekend.....
