At Home
Saturday, August 30, 2008
finding pictures to hang on the wall when you are decorating a room can be an expensive process. thinking about what to hang on the walls is a big task. pictures can often be incredibly expensive...even from some of the "cheap" stores. when i moved into our new apartment i decided to explore some fabrics to hang .
i checked the local fabric store (lucky for me i am in new york and the local store is mood fabric of project runway fame ). i purchased this great fabric (which i later found out was oscar de la renta- i got a steal). i then purchased a frame from the local art store and decided to hang it.
i also bought this fabric from ikea...it was in the throw away bin and i paid $1 ...it now sits perfectly in my living room...above the couch my grandmother kindly donated.
getting these "pictures" at such a great price makes me want to switch them out every year for fun...check back next year to see what takes the places ;)

This is a great idea. Neat way to spice up the walls of a bland space! Definately keeping it in mind when I get my own digs?!

for the frame I purchased stretcher bars at the craft store and just put them together. i then stapled the fabric to the board. here is a link to the stetcher bars i used: http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_products.cfm?classID=1317&subclassID=131711
