Funky Junk Inspiration

I have to admit, Donna from Funky Junk Interiors really inspired me to attempt some new projects and embrace some fun new elements into my home. When I first found this idea for displaying pictures,

I knew I could do it...and be successful!

I hit my favorite thrift store every Monday, and I always snatch up picture frames with interesting details, shapes, and sizes. I found a HUGE....like 1 1/2 ft by 3 ft ( I don't know exactly, I'm not really going to break out the measuring tape, you get the idea) wooden frame in great "junky" condition. It contained a lovely embroidered small tablecloth, which I immediately gave to my daughter and she currently uses for kitchen floor doll picnics. Two for one on this deal baby!

So I cleaned the glass, grabbed my twine and started wrapping.




I wrapped and wrapped and wrapped....



Until I had this!




I wrapped wildly and unabashedly. My favorite kind of project! I tied the ends tightly and it has held for over a month now.

The pictures don't really stay up just tucked between the twine, so I bought some small clothespins to hold all of our treasures.



It is in our bedroom and displays many mementos that remind me of our life together. Some cute pictures of us and our kids, a map from Zion National Park, directions for how to assemble a tent (I will leave that one to your imagination because it is too painful for me to relive), and a desert flower image taken in Moab, Utah.

It makes me smile every time I look at it.
