my wall

a new apartment, a new wall to decorate. actually, there are lots and lots of walls. I'm a bit overwhelmed. but after a flurry of hammering, i have my "collection wall" started with a mix of old and new. note: sewing pins, the kinds with the plastic spherical heads, are my new favorite nails.

a lovely seattle poster from ork posters. i've had this one for a long time, but could never find the right frame. so i finally gave up and decided to use some old hangers that i snagged from our last place.

a mish mosh of flea market finds and an elephant man print by matt cipov. i got it in a grab bag at art vs. craft in milwaukee years ago. it was just waiting for a good home.

the old spools were found in a drawer in sewing table I bought at Goodwill. the sewing table is the wonderful vintage kind with an old black enameled sewing machine tucked inside. it's beautiful. and the spools were an unexpected, welcome surprise.


home sweet home.

I would suggest Ooks as your hanging nails, but you've done such a beautiful and creative job, my amateurish idea wouldn't come close.

Wow.
