Botanical Grid & Magazine Basket

My mom was at an auction a while back at my cousin's house and there were a few egg baskets there....she thought they looked neat and quickly picked them up! I'm so glad she did! I decided for now to use mine as a magazine basket. I just took some burlap ribbon and weaved it through, tying a bow in the front to soften up the look a little bit. I can always use more space for the many magazines I receive almost daily and I thought this was a cute way to have them sitting out. Once again, another sweet idea I got from My Sweet Savannah! A couple months ago she put some printable vintage bontanical images up on her blog. I just copied them onto ivory/cream cardstock I had left over from our wedding fans and then found some simple $3 frames at Wal-Mart. I decided to do a grid of nine over the stairs leading down to our basement. I use to have a shelf in this space and it never did feel quite right. I am really loving this! I think it makes such a statement and adds some color to my neutral decor!

Hope your week started off great! I am going to enjoy my last week off before I start my new job on Monday! I am trying to squeeze in all my projects before then! I almost think I get more done when I am working than when I have all the time in the world!! There is just something about being in a routine, I kinda miss it! I will probably be singing a different tune in about 3 weeks! hehe!

P.S. If any of you would like any of the images I used in the grid on the wall, just let me know and I will post them! They are not copy-right, so you can feel free to copy and save them!
