I used a vintage grape gathering basket in a niche that the architect had intended for art as an inexpensive temporary fix, but it has now grown on me and I think I will probably leave it!

I love the idea of using textile remnants as art. Phoebe Howard has used Kuba cloth in the two photos below. I am thinking about doing this in my guest bedroom. I love the look.

Have you repurposed any found objects and used them as art in your own home? If so I would love to hear about it!
FABULOUS, Cindy!! I really love this post. Will save / bookmark it, as I love folk art. Your vignette is really cool. That is an awesome barn vent, and I want it :-) Cheers, Loi

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas here Cindy! I love what you did with the basket - that's stunning. And those oars - they look great! Thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog too - they mean a lot to me, especially coming from someone as talented as you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Couldn't agree more! Love your gathering basket in the niche instead of the expected art!
