Tea Towel Art

April 27, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 9 Comments

We have been looking for some new art work for Sarah’s bedroom, to fit in with her red and aqua theme. I came home with an Eiffel Tower Tea Towel last week (from Bed Bath and Table). As soon as Sarah spotted it, she thought it would be perfect for her room.

We made a quick trip to IKEA to get a Ribba Frame, and now she has a new accent piece for her wall. Best of all when she wants a new look, we can easily find a print (or tea towel) to fit the frame.

While we were at IKEA we found another print for the adjacent wall to fit in with her French theme. The print fit an existing frame. I just need to find time to spray paint the frame so it is a nice glossy white.

A quick but satisfying project!  With so many lovely tea towels/dish towels available, I might be framing more of them.
