artwork display

Yesterday I installed two picture shelves above our new sofa! I am excited to be able to change the display whenever. It also gives me motivation to make some new pieces so that I can fill some antique frames I have been saving. The only "catch" (sorry for the bad pun!) is that the particular fabric we chose, is VERY easily snagged by our cat. Because she loves new things, she sees this sofa as her personal playgound! We ordered the linen slipcover but it's not supposed to be delivered until well into May. So even though we use softpaws she is still able to snag the weave with her back paws and even her front. What a pain! Does anyone have any recommendations?

We also had our smaller sofa reupholstered lately, I'll post photos of that soon! It's so nice to actually have space and do some furniture arranging. Next I'm making curtains for the living room.

PS. The two house shaped pieces are by my friend Yvette Rock, check out her website!

simply splendid! Have you thought about adding any bright colors - such as a large orange print with a gold leaf frame? That would tie everything together swell and you may already have a piece such as i have described!

I'm on to you, crafty bird grrl! That is my husband trying to get his artwork included in the display!

How lovely and such a great idea, just mix and match and change around when ever the mood takes you.

Have a lovely weekend,
