A few weeks ago I ordered this map from here....
It is 29" x 58" and the perfect size for over the couch in the den/office.
I've been researching different framing options and and quickly realized it will be a costly endeavor.
The map was only $32.99 so I was okay with spending a decent amount of money
having it framed properly.
However, last week, I popped into Hobby Lobby for a quick look around and out of habit, I made my way over to the 80% off clearance aisle. And what to my wondrous eye should appear?
Why a custom frame matching the dimensions of my map, oh dear!
Well, almost anyway. The frame was 33" x 59". Close enough for $20!
I am having a mat added, so the frame should work perfectly.
Here it is all empty and lonely....
And a close up....
Huge score on a fabulous frame!! I love maps too.....it's actually a sickness. Love the colors in your Kentucky one, and the scale for your room!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see the framed map. I love the colors and the size is wonderful, too. Map and frame were meant to be! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal - pays to check out those clearance racks. We don't have any Hobby Lobby's near us but it seems like they have some great inventory. Getting some new draperies in my master and some art work for our dining room. I just haven't come across the right art yet.
ReplyDeleteLucky you. You were in the right place at the right time. I don't know why it takes them that long to frame it. I hate to wait. Can't wait to see it up. That is going to be fabulous.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see it. finding frames can be really challenging. glad you found one to house that lovely map.
ReplyDeleteum holy crap that was lucky!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Now you spend your extra money on more goodies!! :) Love the map!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Just stopping by to say hi, and that I'm excited to be a new follower!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the linen mat and the map that goes in it! It is so hard to find art at the right scale (and price), good work.
ReplyDeleteBoth the map and frame are really cool, and I can't wait to see what the space looks like afterwards!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can't wait to see it in it's new home! Gonna look fab!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it up! I've actually got maps on my radar too. I really, really want an old school map that rolls up and down.
ReplyDeleteIt'll look great, can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteYou have the best taste/eye! This will look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING maps now! Can't wait to see it all finished, you are right, just perfect for the space.
