Scott and I have always been in the habit of taking our Instax Mini camera with us when we travel, always making sure to leave enough room in our backpack for extra film. (One of our favorite ways to get photos with both of us in it is to ask a group of passersby to snag […]

These Old Nails
It’s no surprise that we love adding art to a room before we can say done! (Right now, we have a stash of framed pieces under the guest room bed, waiting to be hung on the kitchen walls. Oh, kitchen, you silly thing!) The workshop was no exception, and you might remember seeing this guy […]
DIY Giant Frames for Your Dinosaurs (+ $100!)
With the recent addition of our streamlined gallery wall in the living room’s gap, we’ve been itching to add something large – very large! – above our velvet sofa. Not wanting the room to feel overly cluttered with our already vibrant rug (and the opposing wall’s art round up), we’d been tossing around a handful […]
Booth Art
It’s sort of strange, really. I sat down to be all hey, up goes another frame!, and then I realized we’ve never actually written about our frames in the first place. I think. And then I remembered we sort of mentioned it back in the day for our very first house tour. Which, by the […]
You Add a Frame, and All Hell Breaks Loose.
A few months ago, I finally ponied up and hung our tangle of mirrors (plus one piece of framed art) in the office. For far too long, they’d been sitting in a jumbled pile on the sideboard, taking up space and driving me ca-razy. Until recently, they’d been looking quite pretty, reflecting the sunlight and […]
Reflecting Change
You may remember our venture through the Vintage Bazaar last year, where we came across this mirror (among a few other items, including my childhood turtle; word): And then the last time we scoured the flea while visiting family in Cincinnati, we found this guy. Okay, Scott actually found the mirror (while I was still […]
How We Frame (and a Cute Pig, Too)
We love us some good advice. Getting it, giving it, spreading the word. You know, so as not to constantly reinvent the wheel. And there are two things we get asked more than anything: 1) Dudes, where’s the fur? (answered right here), and 2) How do you frame? Hey, I didn’t say they would be […]
Oh, Sweet Friday (and a Test Drive)
Aside from our questionable art and a handful of yellowed photographs, we also picked up this bare bones frame (we’re talking Randolph Flea, by the way). And while snapping a glamour shot of said frame, we kind of fell in love with the gaudy gold against our graphic paper. Whoa. We realize it’s no sin […]
Hellco Army
After getting our organizing pants on, I figured I’d keep the streak alive and get that mistreated art out of our drawer and onto the wall. Gifted to us by our talented friend Jimmy last year, we had every intention of wasting no time (oh, funny!) – we’d frame the print (titled Hellco Army), hang […]
Found, Framed, and (Finally) Out There
A long, long time ago (as in, maybe last summer), Scott found this frame in the trash. Sad, really, because it’s an actual oil painting, and for some reason, I just can’t fathom how people could toss art so freely. (Although, I’ll fully admit that this could be the result of years of studio lock […]
