Framing Flowers

Or weeds, whatever your 17 month old picks out of your yard and hands you.

Like everything else he does, the gesture made my heard explode and I wanted to hang on to them.  So I dug around in the basement for a frame I wasn’t using.

I graduated.  Go me!

Yank the photo, insert weeds memories just like Lindsay.

Find a spot to display said memories. 

I wandered around for a while when I realized I’ve never shown you guys the half bath.  Probably because it isn’t finished yet.  But that’s where I sat my weeds memories so I guess I’ll go ahead and do that now.

It’s behind this barn door.

Cedar wall, old timey light, Hobby Lobby mirror (that isn’t hung yet, but just balancing on the faucet), special order faucet that comes directly out of the wall, $7 Hobby Lobby bucket turned sink, and one really old carpenter’s chest on a set of claw feet.

It’s actually already one of my favorite spaces.  It needs trim, and the paint touched up, and a few other details before I can call it finished.

 But for now it’s a good home for my weeds.

I mean memories.

  1. um… this is probably my favorite space in your house!!!!!!!!!!
    not counting the hot tub of course.
    I love that vanity… LOVE LOVE. A perfect spot for the memories.

  2. So I’m sort of in love with the half-bath’s door (I’m trying to play it cool). One day I hope to have barn doors somewhere in our future house. Anyway, this was a very sweet post. It reminded me of when I use to pick those purple flower weeds and give them to my mom because her favorite color was purple. Oddly, she never framed them…

  3. OK, HOW ON EARTH have you not showed this space before. I can’t decide if I like the bucket sink, the old chest, or the faucet coming right out of the wall best. Not to even mention the door, but I’m not counting that since it’s outside of the room or else my head is going to start spinning like a top.

    Also, those weeds are precious. And i love them there!

  4. So this is how the post went in my head as I was reading…..
    awwww, ohhhh, OHHHHH you have a sliding barn door, WOW, OHHH, wow, I LOVE THAT, ohhhhh. OHHHHH WOWWW I love that too ohhhh.

    That tell you I like it all?

  6. WOW! First off- framing those weeds is adorable! I love that.

    Secondly- that barn door is freaking amazing! Love it! The cedar wall and that vanity- also amazing. Wall mounted faucet, rustic light, amazing upcycled old vanity- unbelievable!! What a fantastic space!I would come to visit just to use your guest bath!

  7. UMMM. UMMMM> really????? How did you forget to share this? It is amazing, amazing, amazing. I just want to keep staring at it. The barn door is purrrfection, the bucket/wall faucet, chest turned vanity. I’m blown away. I want to live in here. Oh, and the weeds, sigh.
