Meet the marriage of my old paint splattered ladder and the taffeta polka dot ruffle from my Homecoming dress. I know, it's crazy that I've saved it for 20 years...BUT, I liked the material!
Finally it has a home on my "new" kitchen bulletin board. Mark patiently made the foam board/ cork board backing, and I dug through my fabric looking for some inspiration. I wrapped it around and hot glue gunned it to the back. I had just enough, and love the subtle velvet polka dots scattered behind the pictures. Makes me happy even now while I type.
Before the kitchen paint job, picture frames floated in the holes, and it never quite worked.
Now I can change the pictures easily. Pins are simple ones from my sewing stash. 
It's the little things that make me happy. Now back I go to the art room chaos. I'm taking EVERYTHING out. Cleaning, painting, and purging...wish me luck!

I wish you all the best luck! That is my plan for my whole house, one room at a time this year. I am hoping to be done about Thanksgiving time!
ReplyDeleteLove your idea though. It looks great!
The addition of the fabric really grounds the pictures. I like it!

Cheers~
