Inspiration: Ana's Art Display

You may remember Ana's lovely home from our Small Cool Contest. Since then her blog has become one of our must-reads. We recently noticed her new gallery of framed pieces by Etsy artists.

We love the way she's used similar frames (RIBBA from IKEA, we think) to pull the display together.

See Ana's post here.

(Thanks, Ana!)

Wow, this looks great. I love that Ana framed my Retro Sticks and Balls card. They all look so lovely together. It is an inspiration I just might have to follow!

Nicely done. I like how it kind of turns the corner around the... mantle? Whatever that bit of moulding is.

Just for the heck of it, why don't you decoupage that light switch cover ;)

Medusa you did give me an idea...I could frame the light switch.

I'll have to give that a try!

whytephoenix- It's in the kitchen and that bit of molding is the top of the counter on top of the old 20's ice box.

it's all the way on the right in this picture

you could take the switch off, take some 1/8 thickness board any size and make your own switch, you could decoupage a piece of artwork on it annd frame it in the same kind pof frame!

ok.. maybe that sounded liek too much work... how about just decoupaging art to the light switch and matting and framing it too. there ya go much easier;; lol LOVE what you did though. very nice grouping.
