if you build it...



We've long been debating how to fill the massive brick expanse behind our sofa and without the budget to invest in a large art piece, Dave and I were thrilled when we spotted this long Indonesian tapestry at the SOWA open markets last Sunday for a mere $15!



Our solution for easy art on the cheap:
- tapestry $15
- 90" piece of wood from Home Depot $4
- staple gun (already owned)
- brass nail heads ($2)
- fishing line





Yeah yeah I didn't do the most perfect job with it but hey, no more empty wall! Now to find a table runner that will match...
