I did a post a few months ago showing my kitchen paint job. I must say I LOVE this color and I am happy I finally painted. But after looking at the wall with the plain basket weave place mats- they no longer popped the way I wanted.
I needed a way to to make this easy and affordable art make a larger impact now that the walls were a darker color. I decided to frame each place mat. I used simple and cheap white frames from IKEA.
 |
| I had a slight problem when I noticed the white mat was larger than the place mat. I needed a fast and easy solution. |
 |
| My solution- paint the corners the color of the wall. |
 |
| Painting the empty space in each corner the color of the wall took away from a spot that was standing out. |
 |
| I love that these simple place mats from Pier 1 look like art with a little framing help from Ikea. Each cost about $3 per place mat and the frames were $20.00. |
 |
| Much more noticeable as you enter the house through the hallway. |
