Botanicals

Husband and I love botanical prints and we would love to have some in our home.  Something like these maybe?

 
These are from Ballard Designs and are $139.00 each or $499.95 for the set. Wowser!

Maybe these?
Definately not as bad, but at $39.00 each, can still be expensive when you group them.

So, Husband came up with a plan, purchased the plan materials and then I executed such plan. 

Here are the supplies:

5 Ribba picture frames from IKEA ($4.99 each)
Old botanical book found at a used book store ($2.00)
Total cost:  $28.57



Final product (temporary home for all five, until we get a picture ledge for them).

  1. Absolutely beautiful, I love what you have done with your prints! What a bargain and they look just as nice as the Ballard prints, if not better! I actually like the colors in your prints much better, they are brighter and more unusual. You are an inspriation Miss Jennifer!! xox

  9. Good for you! I did the same thing! I did a grouping of 6 botanicals I bought on e-bay. I would love to find something sea-ish and do the same. Great job!

  10. Genius! And this way you get to customize them so they're exactly what you want!
