my latest little project...
just three little frames, filled with sections of an Italian map. It was so easy! I don't have a lot of wall space in my open-plan dining room, so,
when I saw this Italian map with it's soft and pretty colors, I became inspired. It was only $4.99 at Aaron Brothers. What a great way to add some more color to the room!
I then picked out these three 8x8 frames for $7.79 each (so exciting to find out they were on sale.)
The details on this simple black frame are great.
Since both my parents are Italian, I wanted to honor their provenance. I used the glass from the frame as a template to cut out the regions that my parents are from. My father's family was from Venice, and my mother was born in Molise, which is in central Italy.
The map's colors work out perfectly in my dining room with the pretty blues and greens. What I like best is that this is a fabulous reminder of our Italian heritage! I am a huge genealogy buff and love researching our family roots. This is great reminder for my whole family of where we come from.
{total cost of the project: $28.36+tax.}
