Just hanging around

I finally had a few art prints framed. I don't know why it takes me so long to get around to doing it...because they look great on the wall!

Since I started blogging I discovered that IKEA is a great place for buying frames with ready-cut mats. The RIBBA frames are my favourite. They come in white, black, walnut and birch.

I bought two small white deep-set frames and an A4 sized birch-coloured frame - absolutely perfect for my latest prints.

I love all the prints at Inaluxe. They are fun and have a mid-century vibe that I really like.

It makes this corner look groovy!
I was also very happy to finally hang the lovely photographic prints by Tasmanian artist, Sarah Bishop from the blog Molly's Maison. Now this chick is extremely talented. If you love botanical art, she is definitely one to keep your eye on. You can find her HERE.

I had actually planned to hang these in my bedroom, but they were too good to hide away. They are on display outside our bedroom wall.

The top photograph is Blue Anemone, the bottom photograph is Hellebore.

Aren't they just lovely?

    Oh Anita, you're a treat!
    All of the prints look fab, those by that Sarah girl look pretty good, how about that? No really, I love the Inaluxe ones as well and yes, I LOVE Ikea frames - they're such brilliant value. I am trying to work out how to get my mits on some down here in Tassie for the little gallery wall I am wish-listing for the hallway.
    ps I thought you might like those funky fashions on my post :)

    They look fabulous - so jealous that you can just pop to Ikea... framing is so overpriced. I have thought about bringing some Ribba frames back here in my suitcase but thought it might be a little mad... A x

    Your house is looking so sophisticated, Anita and Jason. Anita, you must do housework all the time!

    The prints are so beautiful on those crisp white walls ... Sarah B is a whizz at photographing flora. You're a lucky thing having a bit of her in your home.

    The prints are beautiful, and those sparse frames really look good on the VJs. Makes me wish I could muster the nerve to enter Ikea.

    Beautiful artwork! It makes such a difference to a space. I'm a fan of the Ribba frames too, just wish they fit all our awkwardly sized prints and paintings.

    Thank you everyone!
    MMMC - yes, dusting vacuuming. So busy I wonder what Jason complains about ;)
    Kitty, the fabric is not original. I recovered it last year. There is tired cream vinyl underneath it.
