Frame shop

Part of the fun of decorating has been getting around to some projects I've been wanting to get done forever- like finally splurging on custom framing for some prints I've had sitting around.




The canary prints I purchased from Etsy and eBay and had them slated for the living room. The blues and yellows in each will go well with the Parasols fabric we've picked for the dining room chairs.




The eggs I've had forever, an eBay purchase from several years ago I think. These will go in the kitchen.

With 14 total pieces to frame, it wasn't cheap, but I reconciled it with the fact that we'll have these forever. I did get a bit of deal, too, because the Blick Art Materials store across the street from my office was running a 40% discount. They did an amazing job and had them done in less than two weeks.

The frames are Larson-Juhl and Blick had an amazing selection. It was somewhat hard to choose, but I chose the bamboo because I'm mildly obsessed with everything bamboo (and I hope I'm not going overboard!) and the lovely gilt wash frames for the eggs are just so classic and quiet.

Stay tuned for wall shots!
