I absolute love thrifting and finding unique vintage pieces, and got so excited when I found these frames for just a couple of dollars each on a trip I took down to Tucson. I loved the shape and the detail, but the wood stain was starting to chip off in a few places.

While I love the metal IKEA frame (especially spray painting it!), I’ve often wanted a wood frame option for our oversized Juniper prints without the price of going to a custom frame shop (though, as another option, we recently ordered this 31×47″ natural wood frame for about $120 and it was great!).

Right off of the entry in our new office, we have this funny little hallway with a sink.

It’s actually been a really helpful space and keeps the kitchen sink free for, you know, dishes!

We have a front foyer in our new office that I wanted to be a place for employees to comfortably sit and chill in as much as I wanted to make it a beautiful statement to our office visitors. I chose a dark green-black color for the walls (Farrow & Ball Studio Green) with the same vertical paneling with top rail that we did in this bathroom, also in our office. The top trim is about 2.5″ deep – just deep enough to lean art from the Print Shop!
