So, today I thought I'd leave you with some very chic DIY projects for affordable art. I found all of these via pinterest. I seriously can't wait to try them these when we are back home.
Here, they cut out circles from a poster board, spray painted it gold, layered it on fiberboard in a fish-scale pattern and framed it. So beautiful and graphic! Such a great idea if you are in need of a large piece of artwork and don't want to spend a lot of money.
Ribba frames (from Ikea) spray painted gold. They look amazing and high-end. Who doesn't want a touch of metallic in their home?
Definitely not a new idea, but framing a vintage scarf is instantaneous artwork. I am on the hunt for a vintage scarf while here in Vienna.
So clever. Framing a letter, postcard or memento that has sentimental value. I particularly like how they framed the envelope along with the letter. Given where technology is going, handwritten notes will be a thing of the past - what a great way to preserve meaningful letters, notes, etc.
Aren't all of these so great and doable? That is my kind of DIY - super easy, affordable and looks design worthy!! Have a great weekend guys!! Bis bald....
i love the framed letter. i have the same picture pinned and want to frame an old letter from my Nana. we wrote each other weekly while i was in college and i still have each and every letter in her pretty penmanship and the thin blue airmail envelopes of the past with their belgian stamps.
ReplyDeletei too love lots of art. i honestly day dream about kate spade's nyc apartment more than i care to admit. have a great weekend, fran! xo, tessa
these are all lovely ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove all the touches of gold here. Do you know Cozamia blog? (From which came the gold spray painted frame?) If not, I think you'd really like her work -- that's her art in the frame.

ReplyDeleteI spent my junior year abroad in
Vienna. Have fun. Prost!
I love the framed letter & envelope! What a great idea! Also liked the matched paper and headboard in that image - love seeing that!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great ideas! Those ribba frames look like a million dollars! I hope you find a scarf during your stay. What a nice memento that would make.
