\"turn<\/a><\/p>\n

By Jennifer Tuohy<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had a large blank wall behind our living room sofa. For years, we struggled to decide what to do with it. Buying a painting or mirror that large was out of our budget, so we tried a collage of smaller pieces, but they looked too messy for such a focal point in our main living area. Then, while travelling through Tennessee, my husband came across some old potato sacks<\/a>. He brought them home to me as excited as a school boy, telling me how he could \u201cupcycle<\/a>\u201d them by building a frame and hanging them on the wall.<\/p>\n

While I was thrilled that my efforts had finally rubbed off on him enough for him to spot an awesome upcycling opportunity when he saw one, I was very skeptical of the idea of an old potato sack on my wall. But once we started working on the project, I began to see how the vintage look could work well in the space. It also got me excited at how easy it was to do, prompting me to start stockpiling old t-shirts, quilts and other fabric items with sentimental value that we can \u201cframe\u201d and use as fun, funky wall art.<\/p>\n
