With part of my birthday money, I bought a print of my favorite painting. Can you guess what it might be?
Oh, just look around my blog a bit...
On Saturday I got it framed at Hobby Lobby. They are quite reasonable when it comes to their labor costs. I was very pleased. They initially framed it without doing anything to the print, because they thought the print was on heavy enough paper. However, it did buckle a little in the frame. So I had them dry mount it. I'm not sure excatly what is involved with dry mounting, but it bonds the entire print to a poster board, and it won't ripple under the frame. I highly recommend it if you're getting a nice print framed!
Now hanging in my sewing room, "A Special Moment" by Emile Munier:
Now it will be the first thing I see when I go in my sewing room. This print just makes me smile. I absolutely love it! (Maybe it will make ironing go by a little faster? Maybe it will help me keep my sewing room picked up? Hmmm...)
Oh, and another exciting thing about this print? I get to cross off yet another item from my 101 List! My list says "frame prints", but with the size of this one, I've determined one is enough for such a small room.
It's good to know that they are reasonable. We don't have one of those around here, is it like Michael's? I've never had anything framed, but I have a nice poster print from art.com that reminds me of this one a little....it's of a little girl reading and I need to have it framed one of these years =P

Looks like you found the perfect spot for your print! Maybe I need to add some artwork to my laundry room for inspiration...

That's so sweet looking! My momma would love that print as well.

Your sewing room looks so pretty and organized!
ReplyDeleteA picture that I love hanging on the wall just draws me into a room. Your picture is beautiful, and your sewing room looks very cosy! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Tammy! Have you ever been to artrenewal.org? (or maybe that's where you ordered this from). I've been wanting to order some prints fromt there someday.
ReplyDeleteI like you new picture...so appropriate for a sewing room!
ReplyDeleteThe picture is darling:)

I love your picture and I love Hobby Lobby. We have one here too.
ReplyDeleteVictorian children are a favorite of mine. :)

Jenn--Hobby Lobby is like Michaels, only a little more refined. LOL
ReplyDeleteMishel--it's less organized than you think! I moved all the junk out of the way for the picture. ROFL. It wasn't too bad though, mostly stuff from projects I had been working on.
Amy--I haven't been to the website you mentioned. I'll have to take a look at it.
Thanks for all the compliments! I love going in to my sewing room just to look at my print! :-)
