I've finally been giving my master bedroom some much needed attention.
First on the agenda was to address the big wall above the dresser in a collage-type way.
I loved this project because almost everything I used was thrifted.
My initial inspiration was this book I happened upon at the thrift store: A Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.

It really is a lovely book, so I felt a little reluctant to tear it to bits until I found another copy just last week!
Taking it apart was really quite easy after that. To get double pages to hang without tearing the middle, I simply used a knife to cut the binding threads that show up every few pages. Like so...
The focal point of the collage (though purposely off center) is this thrifted mirror I found awhile back that used to hang by our back entry.
Then I added these second-hand frames, and a piece of gate iron from New Orleans. The gold frame was very dull so I spruced it up with a bit of Rub-n-Buff.
On the other side I have a pair of Wallace Netting photos my parents gave when we got married. This one is "Honeymoon Drive". The other is "Honeymoon Windings".
Just for fun, here's a before picture of this same wall.
And "After".
Liking a little more personality, whimsy and lovely on the wall.
Hope to show you the whole room soon!
