Fun things in my sisters house

While staying at my sisters house I took photos of different areas in her house that inspired me. This area is up on top of some shelving in her sewing room. I love how she took some old books, a large clock, a vase filled with faux fruit and a rustic metal floral decoration. It looks awesome. Look around your house to find unusual items to create a wonderful “scape”

Another fun and cheap idea is to frame maps! Tiff bought these black frames at Ikea for $4.99 and found the White mats at an “as is” Ikea sale for only $4.00!!
She is wishing she had bought a lot more!

Tiff’s Secret tip: the maps are wrapping paper!! I don’t know where she got it but keep your eyes peeled for fabulous wrapping paper to frame! Brilliant!!

    There is also some made by cavallini at papersource.com. I used it to cover journals. (PS I found you through "mums" trying to explain to my Virginia what they were!)

    Are you selling the napkin rings yet and do you still have CenterPiece Wednesday?
    Thanks, bj

    They have map gift wrap available at http://www.katespaperie.com, and it runs about $4.50 per sheet. I'm not connected to them in any way, I just like their stuff. 🙂
