Art is one of my favorite things to thrift, if not my very favorite. I always take the time to look through the art area at my local thrift stores. A vintage pastel drawing of an iris and a vintage, bamboo frame were both found on the same day, but in different thrift stores.
I loved the art--the green background with the white and yellow iris sings spring vibes to me, but the goldish papered frame wasn't quite right. I had bought the bamboo frame first and decided it would be a perfect fit for the iris art. I had to carefully remove the art from the matte it was glued to. I then taped it (with acid free tape) to the matte that came with the vintage frame. Propping the art on my entryway shelf with other thrift store finds that have similar tones and textures is the perfect way to say, "Welcome spring, we are ready to greet you." The vintage, bamboo frame is perfect for the vintage art. Remember, you can reframe thrifted art and make it more compatible with the artwork and your home.
