We have all seen frames meant to hold records. That is nothing new. We came across a vinyl connoisseur who had ordered a 12" Single of The Specials (Pressure Drop) from Ebay. It arrived cracked 6 ways to Sunday and instead of being sad, he put it to some good use. Click through for a close up of his handiwork.
Look! Who Framed Roger Rabbit A Broken Record?
The pieces of the 180 gram record stay put due to the pressure of the frame. It's nice to see the actual record on the wall as opposed to the album cover, as it flanks the print of the record player nicely.
Have you done something fantastic you think the we should see? Don't forget to tag your Flickr photos with "ApartmentTherapyChicago" so we can take a look!

What's cool to me is that a friend of mine played for the Specials (trombone) and his name should be on that very vinyl. I'll show him this post, as it's cool solution to an ebay frustration!

I think that's a Leia Bell print? http://www.leiabell.com/prints.html
I just bought some of her work at Flatstock at Pitchfork this year.

The reason this works so well is the juxtaposition with the other framed picture with its clever echo of a record and a jagged shape -- also the graphical cut-out looks a little like a person stretching, and the lighting is good and moody. Fab.
