Last time my Mother in law came to visit, she gave me this map she bought.
Right?
Such a sweet reminder of my roots.
I really wanted to do something special for this map, so I used a couple of slats from a wooden pallet and
built a wooden frame here.
built a wooden frame here.
Very simple cuts.
No frills.
To attach the map I used these pins that I already had.
I like the rustic, imperfect feel
I like to look at it...just because.
Couldn't be any more perfect.
Are you dreaming of Italy yet?
Stay Frugal,
Daniela

ReplyDeletePerfectly simple and I really like where you have it with all the industrial pieces. Perfect too for a girl from Italy! My friends' daughter is in Sicily on exchange until May and she is loving it.
ReplyDeleteDaniela I LOVE what you did with it!!
ReplyDeletePerfect - dead on Daniela - it's just perfect - and what a nice gift to receive!
ReplyDeleteLove those pins!

That's a great idea! I like maps and yours being from Italy is so perfect. The rustic style of that frame goes well with the map.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, thoughtful gift from Kim. I just love the map and it looks great in the rustic frame- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the map of your country, love those pins too!
ReplyDeleteDearest Daniela,
ReplyDeleteYou make me just a little bit homesick for Italy... It has forever a special spot in our heart; we lived and worked there.
You are such a clever girl; wow, this looks perfect indeed. Your Mother-in-law will be very pleased with this result.
Hugs to you and happy Palm Sunday.

What a wonderful gift and I like how you displayed it!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome is that. Looks really good with what you did and proudly displayed now.
ReplyDeleteOf course you had to put it in your living room! I love how you fastened it to the frame :)

I love how you used the frame you made, and I especially enjoyed seeing how you pinned it on the front. Makes it even more unique.

Great idea! I have few maps that I brought back with me from Home/Sicily. I would love to display them this way. Do you think it would be a good idea to add plexiglass on top?
ReplyDeleteCiao Rita
I like everything about it! I have to be honest, though, I'm most intrigued by those pins!!! :)

Daniela, I love maps! They make you feel connected to the places they represent and look awesome to boot. Of course it had to go in your living room! I love the way you mounted it. Have a Happy Easter. Visiting from Savvy. Love, Wanda
ReplyDeleteYou used the perfect frame! I love it! The frame and the map! I really want to visit Italy, I know someday I'm going to be there!
ReplyDeleteYou really paid homage the to Italy by putting a tuscan inspired frame on it!!! So creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you map on TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS!
I love how you mounted your map! I just purchased an 1858 plantation map that I'm going to frame up somehow. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI do love the look of maps, especially aged ones. The rustic feel is perfect, especially with the nearby chicken wire. You never cease to amaze me with how you decorate each corner of your home. You're definitely "owning" your space, and I love that!
