Yesterday the latest and final issue of Gourmet arrived at my doorstep. While I would love to say that I enjoyed Gourmet for all of their wonderful recipes that I spent weekends recreating that would be a total lie. I’ve never made a thing from them! I swear I had all intentions to try out some things, but never made it reading the recipe.
What lured me in every month was their amazing pictures and this month one simply image had my head filled with ideas!
I love how rustic and simple it looks and I think it would be a great solution for inexpensive artwork in your kitchen!
To get this look yourself the steps are simple. I first did a quick search on Etsy and found these lovely prints available by Candy Factory:
These are only $12, but for a more cost effective solution you can raid your spice rack, whip out your camera and have fun snapping away.
I would then head to Target and pick out a shadow box to feature my lovely shots.
This is a nice solution where could get a variety of images in one place if you don’t have a lot of wall space for artwork. A quick trip to a fabric store for some burlap as backing and we would be in business!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love the name of yours! I have bookmarked your blog as one to follow! Good luck venturing into the design business. I would love to do that one day too – just taking baby steps.
Thanks for your comment on my blog! My little dinner was good–I tried to do the gourmet magazine recipe-thing, but I got tired of always having to run out and get stuff I didn't have on hand. That little sauce is a keeper-let me know if you ever try it, and thanks for stopping by!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
Excellent idea – might have to try when I get my new SLR!
