Feed Your Artistic Side
I had painted my living room walls and was not sure what to hang up afterwards. Manuel wanted something rustic & I wanted something artistic. So, until we could find something we both agreed on, the walls were left bare.
Then when we stopped at our favorite, local vintage shop, we saw two burlap feed sacks. They were so rustic that it looked cool. Together we brain-stormed the idea of framing them as wall art. He loved the idea & so did I. It was a definite WIN-WIN!!
How to create the look: We purchased some plywood to stretch & staple the burlap sacks onto and then we framed it with wood. I decided to paint the frame white & opted out on distressing it so that it would stand out against our 'cafe ole' brown walls.
The result: RUSTIC WALL ART that "feeds" our need for rustic charm and artistry.
