DIY Art Work

It has taken me 4 years to do this, heaven only knows why, but it's finely done.

I bought a calendar back 2010 of vintage food posters. Loved it so much, that I thought of using it as art for my house. I guess I held onto it till the right time, and it must be the right time.

I'm not one for buying expensive frames (I have too many). So I took one of the posters down to the local bargain shop and bought 9 frames, and a multi pack of double sided sticky things that can be easily removed without ruining the walls (no idea of the name but they're from 3M).

Because this was going to be quite a large art work I had to make sure that the wall was of equal size, otherwise it would look too cluttered or too small.

Before any positioning began, I laid them out on the table to make sure I had them just right. Once I was happy with the way it looked I stole a spirit level from hubby to ensure they weren't tilted when I hung them.

I found that this art piece complimented the dining area well and our personalities, fun with a touch of whimsy.

The space isn't finished yet, we are looking to put an L shaped benched with storage there cause the table and chairs aren't being used like I want them too. Sounds silly I know but you'll get my drift when we've finished that part.

Happy Friday everyone Xxoo
