In the past few years I've discovered the art of changing old things that I've grown tired of into something new that I love! It's so easy and there are so many possibilities.
Sometimes I get used to things in my house and don't even realize I don't like them anymore. The other day I was on Pinterest and found some really cool picture frames that someone had made to look like a wreath. Then one that was an empty frame with a wreath hanging in the middle. I went looking around my house to figure out where I could hang something like that! My best option was in the dining room, where I had changed out a store bought framed picture with a homemade picture. I just didn't quite get it right, and I never really loved it.
I decided to keep the frame and hang a wreath from it, but since our walls are dark, I needed a lighter background so the wreath would stand out. I decided to go a little funky with the material, and found this great pattern that matches our green dining room chairs! I covered the cardboard picture that was in the frame with the material and hot glued it into place. Then I threw out the glass (after I broke it into several pieces trying to remove it from the frame). I'm trying to decide if I like the bright ribbon or if I want to change it out for burlap ribbon.
I think I really like this! I like to hang crafty things like this and look at them for several days before I make a final decision of whether or not I love them. Anyway, it was an easy project that only cost a little over $12! Here's a link to the framed wreath I found on Pinterest that was my inspiration.

I like it a lot.
Funny I was thinking the same thing Rita. The bow could be changed out as the seasons change. Or holidays change.
Just a thought.
I really like it just like it is!
