What a Differance A Frame Makes

This is a piece that my maternal Grandmother made and my Grandfather gave to me a few years ago.  I wanted to put it in one of our bathrooms but the frame and mat just felt a little too '80's.
(I always forget to take before pics so after I got it re-framed
 I had to lay the old mat and frame on top for the "before" picture.)

 I found this old barn wood looking frame and switched them out. It gives it a much more rustic look than the clean modern look it had before.
I love it!

 It now has a prominent place in one of our bathrooms.
I love having things that belonged to or were made by my family around me, it makes our house feel more like a home!

I love that your grandma made it...those are the things in my house that I treasure most. And I ADORE that ruffled shower curtain.

Thanks for dropping by the blog...you would absolutely LOVE that little fabric store. Hope all is well...Tanya

Love the rustic stuff! I love cross stitch too! I think I will go back to cross stitch when I get old and gray! But by then I probably won't be able to see, darn! Maybe I will take up knitting! Love the bathroom, that shower curtain is fabulous!
