This Week
Welcome
I’ve loved burlap since I first began to take notice of the coffee-bags-refashioned-into-pillows trend. The raw earthiness of the fabric adds a sense of textural depth to anything it adorns, and I’m delighted to see the textile popping up in variety of places and in many an application. To infuse a little of this textural goodness into your family’s lives, check out these 9 hand-selected products.

Wonderful finds, I have an old burlap bag that contained rice and I have been wanting to make something with it, so thanks for the ideas.

I used burlap for a accent in my wedding colors. I had the bridesmaids in a pale pink and I used the burlap to tone down the femininity of the pink. I used the burlap to wrap the favors in and wrapped a few attendant gifts with.
Oh I love those buckets. I am such a burlap fan.
I have an old burlap flour bag hanging in my office, framed, that says Mrs Baird’s Bread. It’s really cool!
I picked up a coffee table out of the trash. The top had veneer that was peeling off, but the rest of it was sturdy. So I painted it black and covered the top inset in burlap and painted words in black to resemble a vintage coffee sack.
I’m making a burlap table runner for my cake table at my wedding.

Table runners made from burlap are beautiful. A few months ago everyone who had a blog seemed to be making it.
I also like when pictures are backed on burlap. It adds great texture.
Am about to use chocolate brown burlap as table runners for a teacher’s appreciation luncheon and if time allows, i’m gonna paint “thank you” on it in cream colored paint!
What great ideas: I love the growth chart and the toy buckets. They look so durable.
I have a serious obsession with burlap! I incorporate it into almost every party I throw and it is all around my living space…curtains, table cloths, pillows, bed skirts…
