Spring is here, glorious glorious spring!
I don't remember ever being this excited for it before.
I've been working on a project all day and I'm really excited to share it with you. You all know how I love to rummage through my own closets and rediscover items I forgot I had, and then give them new life! A few of you may remember this big chunky antique frame. It used to be gold and brown, I used it in a fall tablescape when I had just started blogging here). And although I still love the look of the patina it had, I've been yearning for decor that is a brighter...crisper...springy-er palate.
I've been having a love affair with the mixture of crisp white and cottage colors lately, like what you might see on vintage floral tablecloths, jadeite and old flour sacks. I found this one at an antique mall this week. I wish I had a frame twice as long, because the feed sack is huge and full of great advertising graphics!
I decided to paint the frame, distress it a bit and add the feed sack. I just tacked it all around the edges to the back .
Together with my old yard birds...
And this chippy old metal bin full of greenery...
It makes for a brighter, fresher spring scene in the entry way!
Can't beat a project that's "cheap-cheap-cheap"
Thank you for looking♥

Your entry way is just gorgeous. Very fresh and crisp. Happy Spring~
ReplyDeleteNow, that's an awesome scene in your entry! Spring time hit your home, yes indeed! Crazy about your newly painted frame, very clever to add the flour sack, just perfect in my eyes. Your pillows are just too cute, too!

ReplyDeleteHi Linsey, Love the framed feedsack. We were cleaning out the garage last week and came across a large round vintage frame and we talked about using one of our feedsacks in it. After seeing yours {and falling in love with it} we have to do it. You mentioned you wish you had a longer frame...those long skinny door mirrors make great frame especially if you can find an old one. I seen many with decorative frames. Of course you can go the new route with one from Wal-Mart or ? Anyway, great post and love the pics of your entry. Abbey
ReplyDeleteI just love this! The window, the cute picture and the chicks!! And I think layering your pieces makes it so interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
So pretty! It is so exciting that Spring is here!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
