Framed Placemats

 

A couple of months ago I won a giveaway on Rene’s blog for some cute burlap placemats from her Etsy shop:

 

Burlap Place Mats Set of Four (eat, chow, relish, nourish)

Since I knew they were destined to get trashed on our table, I opted to frame them for our kitchen instead:

I used inexpensive frames (with mats) from IKEA. I love the texture and simplicity of the placemats. . .

On another note, my sweet church friends threw me a baby shower yesterday.  I felt very special and am so appreciative of them.  And, I had to share a picture of these onesies that we received.  If you’ve seen pictures of my girls, you know these are perfect for my babies :)

  17. awesome idea for the placemats! I've been trying to come up with an idea for a 'collection' of art in our dining room, and I think this will be my jumping off point! Thanks!

    When I had my baby shower for my twins I had someone give me ONE onesie that said "Things are better in TWOS!" I was (and still am) a little confused by it!

  36. Omigosh I wish they had those Onesies when my girls were little! My 22 year old still likes a good hair bow and the 18 year old is a bowed headband girl.

    I love putting those simple Ikea frames in a grouping, what a clever way to save "pretty" placemats!

  51. This is a great idea! I have some extra burlap from a project gone wrong last year, and I just might have to frame some up with printed words for our kitchen!

  52. The placemat frames are adorable...where did you get the placemats? Those onsies are precious...how are your new little blessings doing?

    ReplyDelete

  53. The color/pattern of the drapes is wonderful! What happens when all five kids are sitting at the table? There were 5 kids in our family and growing up (miitary dad) we weren't able to talk at dinner!! I'm sure it's a little more relaxed at your home. after all the work you've done, it's really something that everyone's talking about the framed placemats. I guess just because it's such a clever, simple and inexpensive art option. Cheers!
