Cooks Illustrated Wall Art

About 4 or 5 years ago I started a subscription of "Cook's Illustrated" for one of my daughters.  Some of you may be familiar with this magazine, but if you're not, it's full of recipes and valuable information on anything related to cooking.  And one bonus to receiving this magazine are the wonderful illustrations you get on the back covers of each one! 

This picture below shows a couple of illustrations my daughter has from her collection.

Actually, when I say magazine, you're probably thinking of a typical shiny paper one, but this one is different.  There are no ads inside (YAY!) and the paper is more like a card stock, so of course these illustrations are perfect for framing.

My daughter had always dreamed about using these illustrations in her own home one day and their new home they recently bought has a huge wall in the kitchen which made it perfect for this project she had in mind. 

Supplies

My daughter wanted gold frames and of course when you want something specific, odds are you won't find it, right?

Luckily she did find some white plastic frames at Michael's that came in a 2 pack at a very affordable price  After the spraying was done she decided on placing nine frames on the wall to fill in the large space she has.  The matting she used for the prints were a sheet of Strathmore Charcoal Paper set right behind the illustration.

Sorry for the lousy photo here, but I had a really hard time getting one without reflection due to all the windows in her house.  You wouldn't believe how many pics I took, but at least you can get the idea! 

 A job well done and her dream come true!
