When I showed you the botanical prints on the oak picture ledge I had a some requests to see them from a far. Here you go! Also can you tell that the botanical prints are now framed?
They’re not really framed per se, but are sandwiched between two perspex sheets and held together with little office clips. I did this once before but this time I wasn’t so lucky to find that many and in the right size so I had these cut to size by my perspex contact from work.
I’m sure my friend Anne, the archivist, will have her say in whether this is a good way of displaying them or not, but frankly my dear Anne, I don’t give a damned :). It’s not that these are super precious pieces of art and besides I have a zillion more where they came from so they stay. For now. Until I think of something else I want to display there on that ledge. Hah!
I love botanical prints, and yours are very pretty! Simple, yet effective! I feel like spring is there in your livingroom! BTW Mona Lisa is running away!!

I like the simplicity. If I had a pound for every piece of art I've seen ruined by the framing I'd be rich..
Good job.

Wow! Eventhough "framed" these look so simple and easy going. Love also the fact that the pics can be very easily changed.

Oh I'm so hurt! I will never comment on your archiving material again!!! (yeah right...)
Actually our conservator always says that this is an excellent way to display fragile paper. But floraprints come en masse and I don't have any objection to using them in whatever way you want (isn't that a relief for you all ;)). Personally I like the Linneaus 18th century way of wallpapering the bedroom with prints...
Posted by: Anne | February 17, 2011 at 08:29 AM
Yeah, right... and go figure that I finally did something right for once.
I did actually consider wallpapering a closet door or similar with them or covering a piece of furniture but then realize that I'd tire to easily of it.

What a wonderful idea to display your prints and you don't have to mess with those bendy holders that are in the back of most (ikea) frames. I always find some kind of dirt or dust once I finish putting something in a frame. It usually takes me two or three times to get it right. Anyway, looks lovely.

You have more!? Lucky you! I love botanical prints, mostly ecause I've loved plants and everything that grows in nature since I was a child. Somewhere I have two large ones, but I have nowhere to hang them (now, maybe I'll be able to put them up in a couple of months...).

Beautiful prints! Is that a litter box in the first photo? I love it!

Är det en kattlåda? Jag trodde det var en kattsäng. Min katt älskar såna krypin i kojor. Var hittar man en sån? Den är ju superfin! Vill ha!

It's a cat bed from Whiskas. They are not sold any longer but try Ebay. That's where we got ours years ago.
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | February 17, 2011 at 09:54 AM
Det är en koja med en mjuk syntetpälsdyna i grått i :). Tror den var nån reklamgrej nån gång för Whiskas utomlands. Såg den i ett tidningsreportage när våra kissar var små och bara måste ha den. Lyckades vinna en budgivning på Ebay för att få den. Håller med, så fin och kul!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | February 17, 2011 at 09:56 AM
Looks just great, I really like them. :-)
Posted by: tinajo | February 17, 2011 at 11:23 AM
Hej igen, tack för det snabba svaret. Vad synd bara att den verkar så svår att få tag på, men jag får hålla ögonen öppna på ebay då. Tack!
Posted by: Marie | February 17, 2011 at 11:55 AM
such a lovely idea! =]
Posted by: bia lopes | February 17, 2011 at 11:57 AM
What a great idea! BTW, you have a very cute, original cat bed! It's the first time I noticed it. Have you showed it before?
Posted by: Dominika | February 17, 2011 at 01:06 PM
Looks very very springy, dear Benita!

Hi Benita
Today is International Cat Day, all the best for Mini and Bonus :))
Posted by: maj | February 17, 2011 at 02:00 PM
Looks great! Congrats to Mini and Bonus!
Posted by: Golla | February 17, 2011 at 02:45 PM
I have and everyone loves it. Too bad it's difficult to get hold of but try doing a "whiskas cat bed" search on Ebay. That's how I found ours.
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | February 17, 2011 at 03:21 PM
I had no idea! We must celebrate tonight then!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | February 17, 2011 at 03:21 PM
The pictures look great - very simple, but so effective. Also, I love that cat bed - very cool - ebay here I come!

love the cat bed and the framed prints!
Posted by: erin lang norris | February 17, 2011 at 03:45 PM
Mona Lisa caught my eye too!
Posted by: Aimee | February 17, 2011 at 04:29 PM
Benita -- I really like that you decided to go with natural wood for the ledge. It warms the room up a bit and makes the ledge a nice focal point for the room. Beautifully done!

I'm sure you'll mix it up soon and display something else, but meanwhile it looks quite lovely!
Posted by: r8chel | February 18, 2011 at 04:32 AM

Thanks!

Måste bara säga att det blev väldigt bra! Passar så fint med den moderna typen av inramning, i ditt hus. Även om jag uppdaterar mig nu och ser att ni är på väg att flytta.

I too was a little obsessed with that !! It is so cute and goes so perfectly with your aesthetic!
Posted by: Kimberly | February 19, 2011 at 09:48 AM
what a great idea. love them all in a row!

I'm crazy about design and I have 3 cats. I immediately noticed on this picture the adorable cat you own niche. Could you tell me the brand of this niche and possibly with whom or on what website I can buy? Thank you very much.
Posted by: Elodie | February 21, 2011 at 11:49 AM
The cat bed is by Whiskas. It's no longer sold but you may be able to find it on Ebay.com where I got ours. Try doing a "whiskas cat bed" search there.

De är så fina. Har letat efter en avbildning av hampa jätte länge. Det måste ju finnas, eller?
Posted by: Erik | February 22, 2011 at 08:47 PM
Haha, precis som många andra kastade jag ett öga på trycken, innan blicken direkt drogs till kattsängen! Tusan också att den inte säljs nu, jag kände också MÅSTE ha! Vi har just tagit hand om en övergiven tovig och hungrig liten kisse i grannskapet. Han fick sitt livs chock igår med kastrering och helkroppsrakning, och nu behöver han en mysigare sovplats än sin kattbur. Förhoppningsvis känner han sig snart så hemma att han inser att alla husets sängar och soffor är först och främst hans, men tills dess...
