"Artsy" & Whimsical "Framed" Wallpaper


We all may have heard of displaying pretty wallpaper scraps in frames to use as art, but what about wallpaper that you can buy that has frames printed all over it for you to display your own art?

I found this really cool wallpaper and thought I'd share it with you. I think this is such a neat idea for an art themed room or kids room, or just wherever. It's wallpaper with "frames" all over it and you can paint within the frames, hang children's artwork or photos in them, tack recipes on them in the kitchen, paint or hang printed single words in them ...just so many possibilities. You can find the wallpaper online at Graham and Brown. It's $30 a roll, but I'm thinking just doing one wall would be plenty. (OR...if you're even the slightest bit artistic, you can try painting your own frames on a wall!)

From the site:

"Artists Wood and Taylor, designed Frames. It's a completely interactive wallpaper - you decide what you want it to be - whether you want to put up your youngsters art, paint directly in to a frame, or put up family photos - it's up to you!"

That is sooooooo cool! Great idea for a kids room - at least, for a kid old enough to understand that they can color only on that wallpaper!

Hi, Kim!

This wallpaper is too darling! We have a chalkboard wall in our foyer and I've painted the door between the kitchen and laundry room with chalkboard paint. The kitchen one is for special notes and grocery lists. The foyer wall/chalkboard is for the children to draw and work on their math. Ours is just plain black because our HomeDepot and Lowe's don't carry the colored kind, but it works for us. In our next home, I'm gonna track down the custom colored kind -- does that sound like an option you might like? I think Sherwin Williams carries it??

Also, wanted to say thanks for recommending the Sweet Apple book. I borrowed it from our library and finished it last night..errr...at 3am! I also borrowed her book Christmas in Georgia. I hope to get a chance to read it, but as a homeschooling mom...I may have just pushed my "luck" with getting that grown-up book in!!!!

Thanks, again!
Julie
