This is where it all began...I was beginning to feel a little antsy with my long summer and, how should we put this--lots of "free" time at work. I decided I needed a project and wanted to do something for our living room. We have this amazing row house with a long, white wall right when you walk in. No furniture on that wall since it acts as the walkway, and we've always had a hard time finding art for it. I had read somewhere about framing wallpaper as a solution to buying expensive art, so I thought, why not fabric? Of course, this obviously isn't a new idea as I ran into on All Things Orange as well...I found this super-cute fabric on Pottery Barn, of all places (who knew they sold fabric?) under sales. It only came in 5 or 10 yrds, so I bought 5. Let me tell you, that is a lot of fabric. I bought four 16x20" frames at A.C. Moore and the rest is history!
Since I had so much fabric I also decided to sew a pillow. I don't have a sewing machine (yet), so it had to be done by hand. Since it is just a plain square that was obviously easy. I'm going to make a second, larger one for the couch (this is 16"). I love the green with the deep purple. Let me know if anyone wants some of this fabric or wants a pillow made....I have plenty to spare!
