Three Ways to Inexpensively Style a Vintage Print
A Little Bit of Vintage in every

When I found a stack of these vintage prints at a sale I was so excited! Perfect for spring!... and there was enough for all the subscriptions! Plus, you all know I love botanical prints!
Here are a few ideas of how to display this vintage beauty!
Since this particular print is 10 x 13 1/2 , not a common size, I cut a 1/2" from the bottom of the print and bought a 10x13 front loading frame. You can find them at your local craft store, Walmart or on Amazon. They are inexpensive and blend with any style. Hang it or lean it like I did in front of a mirror. Layering helps create depth making a simple piece more cozy and inviting.

Another simple way to frame any print is to use a magnetic wood poster frame like pictured here. I ordered a 10" so that the print fit to the edge to edge of the frame. I found this one on Amazon and thought the quality was excellent! I hung it from my peg rack. I love that I can use the frame to trade out prints when I'm ready for a change.
This idea may not be for everyone!... but, I love using 1/2" masking tape to put artwork on the wall. It's kind of like creating a mood board! The print can be hung at an angle over lapping another print to add interest. Our home has plaster walls so pounding in a nail isn't always easy! This way prints are easy to put up and easy to take down without damaging the walls!
If you love the print and would like it to have a more permanent spot in your home you could invest in having it professionally framed. I am on the hunt for a vintage or antique frame. I'll share when I find one! Patience is key here... it may take a while to find just the right one!
