Does anyone out there remember this first pic that I posted last week? If so...what did you think I was making here? Now I know all of you must know that it's a THRIFTY DIY project...is there any other kind? Well I had two THRIFTY items that were just dying to find a mate here at my nest...so they finally found each other...well it only took them just a few short months and just look at what a cute couple they make...ahhhh...love at first sight!!!! You have a $5.00 authentic burlap coffee sack(found it at an antique shop in Auburn)... a $6.00 frame from Goodwill... some FREE Annie Sloan chalk paint and you get the cutest couple in the nest...don't you think? I will say this is my favorite DIY project of 2011...I"m really lovin' how it looks in my family room. I also a few more new things hanging out there too...so come on back to see more of my latest THRIFTY goodies!!!
Happy that you came by to visit
my nest and I hope to see you
here again,
Linda
This frame has great bones...keep
that in mind when you are out
thriftin'!!!!!
Only $11 and I got this!!!!!
If I still had my shop...I could sale this
for around $100.00!!!!
I still have the other side of the sack
for another project...think I
see a pillow in my
head!!!
Annie Sloan...I'm having so
much fun with your paint!!!
Sorry...I forgot to take a pic of the artwork
that I had here before...I'm bad about doing
that...silly me!!!
So simple...just cut and staple!!!

This looks stunning. I love that you got it at a snip too ... it sure doesn't look that way. penny
Soooooooo cute! No way-- eleven bucks? Get outta here!
Gorgeous. Both are unreal finds. I can't imagine you found that sack at GW. You are so creative and your new picture is fabulous. Love it. Hugs, Marty
I love this, Linda! Thanks for showing us how you did it...I'm all thumbs!
XO,
Jane
Looks great and I love the look of all the pillows on the sofa as well.
Now this looks great! I can see that it would cost a bundle in a store. Can't wait to see the pillow! hugs, Linda
Wow, this is really good. I love artwork that has a big, chunky scale. Thank you for sharing.
I just love it-wonderful!
Love it! Might have to try something like this with the coffee sacks I have around here!

Love it!!! Okay, you got my brain stormin'!
Looks great Linda! I love what you did with the frame.
Have a wonderful day,
Gail
Adorable!
And $100? Really.
Wow... impressive! Well, it's a lovely piece of wall decor ... and I think a pillow is just the thing for the other side.
Cass
I love this idea! I have a coffee sack that I want to frame also. Thanks for sharing...love your blog!
I love your artwork. Looks wonderful...
Linda I LOVE IT!! Love the finish you gave the frame too! Martina
It's a great project, and a thrify one at that. Yes, I like my coffe clean. ;)
Thanks for linking to Potpourri Friday. I appreciate you, Linda!
I love it! I'm not so very crafty!
I love this! So very pretty!
Oh, this is awesome Linda! I am glad you showed the picture from a further away. I love the size! That burlap sack was such a great find! I love the little architectural find above it. Thank you for joining TTF and have a fabulous weekend!
You did great on the frame - isn't AS paint so much fun?
I love the look!
Rhonda
Great job Linda! I absolutely love it!
Pam
This looks great! What a good idea!!
So simple but so pretty. Love how you distressed the frame.
Hi Linda,
I just love this project. The graphics and textures really add a lot to your room. Thanks for sharing both the finished product and the "how-to".
Cheryl
p.s. I often forget to take "before" photos, too...until I'm almost done!
Well, I love coffee, so this is right up my alley. I will be on the lookout for coffee sacks from now on. And frames, too.
Linda,
I love your new artwork! I hope to go to Auburn soon with my sister and hit all the shops!
Hugs,
Donna
I brought some coffee sacks back from vacation and of all the projects I have done with them, i never thought of simply framing them...You are a genius!
Carol
this is so lovely, fab idea
I have bought 10 sacks on ebay just recently they are going to cover my dining chairs and i will have 4 left to play with, so i may have to give your frame a go love it
I am your newest follower from NSW Australia .. HI
Talk about creative? This is awesome! I love the grain sack art and the frame is perfect for it, too! I need to find some of these. Great job!
We were on the computer about the same time. I posted to a party right before you. Love the project and just bought my first can of A Sloane paint, cooler weather this weekend, I'll be a painting fool, any tips?
So neat! You are still amazing girl! Good to be back with you guys!
great idea for
making some lovely graphic art
i use my coffee bags for curtains
in my kitchen
thanks for linking up to fridays unfolded!

OMG! I'm in love! That is the most beautiful picture. I adore coffee sacks and love them even better in a chalk painted frame! It looks amazing. That would've cost you big bucks already done at a store. Now you have a one of a kind piece. It adds a nice touch to your pretty living room.
Nice job, Linda. It looks great in your room.
Hi! It's my first visit, though I don't know why it took me so long to get here. (Over a month since I began to see your name!) Anyway, I LOVE your burlap coffee art! I also love that you're a Christ-follower. So, I'm you're newest follower!
See you Tuesday!

Linda that turned out amazing!! Maybe one day you can open your shop again! You have such a great eye! Thanx for coming to the party!
Very cool!! I love it. Can't believe you got it for only $11! What a great find!

Linda it looks wonderful! One of my fellow shop girls who is so creative makes pieces similar to this!

Beeuteeful!!!

Love the burlap alert! So clever!
Yes, I have to say that is a good one!!!! I have 10 authentic coffee sacks in storage from when I was opening a coffee house a few years ago. Can't wait to try this, but I am new to chalk paint so I'll have to read up on it.
Amber@junkaholicsunanimous
Very clever...this would look perfect in my dinning area. If I could just find the right two things....hope you don't mind a copy cat if I can find a neat burlap piece.
Hugs,
Ellen
Lovin' this look too! the frame is awesome!
