DESIGN IDEA: CUT IT UP AND FRAME IT!

Was in chic Los Angeles store eccoLA and I saw this piece of art...well these pieces of art.

It is actually a huge interesting map...I think of old Rome...that has been cut apart, framed and then put back together again. Love it! Adds visual interest to what otherwise would have just been a huge map on a wall covered in glass.

Could be done in so many styles and with so many different kind of printed pieces...

I have a few vintage posters given to me years ago. I don't think I would ever put them on my wall as they are because they just look like old posters (not anything collectible)...but maybe I could use this technique on them to make them more interesting to the eye? Thinking....I could give it a try!

Or if you have a photograph you love and aren't necessarily into putting just plain huge photos on your wall as art, you could blow it up, cut it up and frame the pieces in cool wood or metal picture frames and hang.

Could see this used on a great photo blown up to cover an entire wall in a dining room for example!

What do you think? Any other ideas for making printed art interesting? What do you think of this decorating and design idea? Do weigh in!

Happy Thursday!
