fresh finds for hip spaces

In my last post about wallpaper I included a link to some samples that were framed as art. Did you click on that to see more? Okay good. Now to show you a fabric snip as art. This is by the lovely blogger and illustrator, Ishtar Olivera, who is from Spain and has framed a piece of Heather Ross fabric.

It’s the simple things I like to highlight here sometimes because they can be done in minutes and don’t require complicated instructions because some projects are just too time consuming when you need a quick decorating fix. Try framing some wallpaper, greeting cards, stamps, old photos from flea markets, doilies, scrapbook paper or fabric this weekend. It’s so easy, I guarantee you will like the results. I’ve framed fabric and stamps in the past, it is very, very easy. You can even frame found items like buttons and leaves. Get creative, grab a frame, and see what you can do!

I love this! I’ve actually been trying to think of good ways to incorporate that exact line of Heather Ross fabric into my home, and this may be a winner. Quick, easy, and adorable! :)

Framing, the necessity and the expense of it have both been on my mind of late. I’m at the international art fairs in Miami and thinking “how, if I buy this piece, could I possibly afford to frame it?”

Such a wonderful idea! Love it and inspires me to use my at least 30 empty frames in the attic.
