The beauty of framing!!









I have been into framing this season! It started with 2 prints my husband and I had bought nearly 10 years ago that we had been constantly saying we would frame one day only to move them from pillar to post - never getting to display or enjoy them. I still am not getting good enough photos so sadly they have not been included in the pictures above, but we finally got them professionally framed and they look great. Now taking pride of place in our lounge - we get to enjoy them every day and they are motivating us to make the rest of the room look lovely in order to best display them. Now it is a little costly to have things professionally framed - but so worth it if you can splash out a bit! However what I have also started to enjoy doing is buying gorgeous prints from etsy and displaying them in very inexpensive, but rather cool looking plain white frames. You can have a fabulous piece of artwork - beautifully framed for around just $35. The artwork above is from 2 very gifted artists at Ferntree Studio and Penny Wishes on etsy. The owls really add a great finishing touch to my wee boys room and the flower/bold red prints are going to look stunning in my kitchen once I get round to painting it red/yellow! Etsy is the way to go for me and imagine buying some of these for friends for Christmas - unique designs for under $50!!
