Fabric Wall Art, and Sneak Peek

I know framing fabric is nothing new for many people, but I finally just did it yesterday .  I frame everything else, so why not fabric right?

I bought a yard of this fabric at Ikea.

It’s a deep charcoal gray color.  I just love it.  They have some pretty cool fabrics at Ikea. It’s a nice change from my normal Hobby Lobby or Joann’s when I shop for fabric.

Then I also bought this frame while I was there.

Then I just cut my fabric to fit behind the white mat that came with it, put the backing back on and that was it.  No glue or any weird tools required.

Then you have a nice, one of a kind piece of “art.”

It was the easiest thing to do and only took maybe 5 or 10 minutes.  I did leave the glass on mine, but even if you have a frame with no glass, this would still be a great thing to do.

Oh yea, and if you were wondering what the sneak peek was all about, you just saw it.  My new picture is hanging in our dining room.  Notice the gray wall color as opposed to the red?  Yep, it went bye bye and I sang many praises as it was disappearing into sheetrock heaven.  :)

I will show y’all soon the new room once it’s complete.  Or I may even show you before it’s complete because I still have a lot to do. :)

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    We just painted our dining room blue. It was a raspberry red color. The entire time I was painting my husband kept asking me why did we ever paint red in the first place. So now it is a nice happy blue.

    Hi.. When I saw your post about the framed fabric, it brought a smile to my face! I saw that fabric last week and thought about buying it to make Roman blinds for my kitchen.. I loved it. Maybe I could have matching art piece in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing the great idea..

    • Decorchick! says

      September 20, 2010 at 9:53 pm

      Ahh Judy that’s awesome! Let me know if you go back and buy it. :)

    Love it! We are both on the same wave length, I swear! I just bought some paint samples for my walls that are all light grey colors. I’m going to switch up my primary color from beige to light grey. I love the fabric. I may have to go over to IKEA now.

    That’s the best fabric art I’ve seen in a long time! I think it looks great and looking forward to those walls!

    Oooo!! I love this!
    And to think, I had never thought of doing this before, but its really cute & such a good idea. I love any decorating ideas that are really cheap but still have a sophisticated look. Soooo going to do this sometime. (But then I might feel guilty not hanging the boyfriend’s photography. Hmm…)

    I love to use those frames. They are perfect for framing fabric. (Funny, I have a post in the works that includes that idea, too.)
    That fabric is lovely. An oversized graphic botanical. In gray. Love!

    LOVE your new wall cover. Especially since I was just thinking yesterday about painting my walls gray. I’m totally loving it lately and you can put sooo many colors with it. YUMMM!!! May I ask what the color is called and who makes it?

  18. elz says

    September 22, 2010 at 2:30 pm

    Very cool & contemporary. I’m painting my guest bedroom gray-maybe next weekend after the game?

    Visiting from Tatertots and Jello. We have framed fabric all around our house. It might be because I have a slight fabric addiction, but it’s also such an economical way to add beautiful wall art. My favorite ones are in our bedroom – two square frames over our bed with fabric that match some of the other things I made for the room……just ties it together so perfectly!!

    So happy to be visiting. Have a wonderful weekend!!

    May I just say what a comfort to discover someone who genuinely
    knows what they are talking about on the net. You definitely realize how to bring a
    problem to light and make it important. More
    people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story.

    I was surprised that you are not more popular because you
    surely possess the gift.

    Some posts make you chuckle, other posts make you feel sad,
    this one makes me think, and that is the best reaction of
    all.

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
