DIY: AFFORDABLE & STYLISH ARTWORK

Deborah Nelson November 3, 2014
IMG_0883 s

I like to keep some inexpensive frames around that I can fill with any image to create some easy and affordable artwork. The art on the wall above are pieces I put together, matching frames with images. You can use antique prints, new prints or photography – whatever you have that works. Here is another piece in a white frame:

I've used an Ikea ribba frame and an old, vintage advertisement as the image. The frame comes in several different sizes and colours, so you can pick what works best for you.

Here's how this one looks finished (a bit hard to see the white frame):

This image is an old French, Hermes advertisement, you can sometimes find these on ebay or by hunting around at antique shops. I've found some great old images to put in new frames. I also often have a new matte cut to go around the image to fit perfectly. It gives it a custom framed look.

Starting to get into the Christmas spirit to be ready for the @ywcahalifax Homes for the Holidays happening November 22-24!  A bit of a natural holiday vibe from my place a few seasons back. This year I'll have it decked a little bit more! 🎄🎄🎄 📷:

Lots more of this extensive renovation to show over the coming months!  A quick shot I snapped of my Chester kitchen which has been drastically transformed since the beginning. Swipe over to see the before shot!  #debnelsondesign #kitchenrenovation #
I used a variety of antiques in this guest room - the bed, chair, blanket and artwork were all items I've collected over time.  I love how they add so much character to a room, the antique charcoal sketch above the bed is dated from the 1800’s
Easing you into holiday decorating with one of my favourite past kitchens, featuring a tiny countertop tree and red wool blanket. I’m a big fan of subtle decorations that can make a space feel cozy and festive through the long winter months. My
Open shelving is one of my favourite ways to display those items in your kitchen that are both functional and full of character, like cutting boards, dishes, glassware and even quirky bottle openers 📷: @samsonpix⁣
