Affordable Art

Do you have empty walls in your home or apartment?

Let's face it, artwork can be expensive

and not a lot of us are ready to make

the investment.

This week, I have a some suggestions

on dressing up those blah walls.

This is a postcard I picked up at a department store's

carpet section. It advertises British fashion designer

Paul Smith's wall hanging called "Love Too".

If you're a fan of Sex and the City, you'll recognize

the actual wall hanging in Carrie Bradshaw's

renovated apartment {from the first movie}:

via my little boudior

Here's another one called "Love" also

by the same designer.

Here's a coaster I found at the Renegade Craft Fair

from the Sesame Letterpress booth.

Here's how I turned them from blah to TADA!:

I trimmed the postcard to fit a frame.

Same for this one.

I removed the glass from this frame and glued

the coaster on scrapbook paper. There's

a 3-D effect going on.

Arrange the frames on one wall for a "love fest"

or display them in different parts of your home...

because it's always nice to spread the love.

TADA!
