Home Decorating:
This project’s a great one for re-using stuff that you might have
stored in a cupboard somewhere, particularly old wooden photo frames!
I know
that the ‘framed fabric’ concept is not a new one, but I thought I’d use it as
one of my projects for the blog because it fits in nicely with the ‘using what you've got’ decorating style.
This is another bedroom in our ‘guest cottage’, which is a spare house
on the property that I did up myself for friends and families to stay. As I've mentioned before in previous posts about this house, I tried to spend the absolute bare minimum when decorating it.
I was very lucky to already have
a good supply of second-hand furniture (all of the furniture you can see in these photos is second-hand), and I was also able to find some good
bargains for the soft furnishings.
For example, (in one of the other bedrooms in this house),
the material that I made the curtains and cushions out of cost me $1 per metre
from a Spotlight bargain table. In this bedroom featured here I
purchased these doona covers on special from Ezibuy, but used everything else
that I already had.
I had lots fabric leftover from another ‘red’ project that I’d done, so
I used it again in this room for the cushions. Then I wanted to coordinate some
artwork with the bed covers.
So I simply cut out some pieces of
material, placed them inside the photo frames, and hung them up again. So quick and
easy!
Happy decorating!
