A couple of months ago I won a giveaway on Rene’s blog for some cute burlap placemats from her Etsy shop:

Since I knew they were destined to get trashed on our table, I opted to frame them for our kitchen instead:
I used inexpensive frames (with mats) from IKEA. I love the texture and simplicity of the placemats. . .
On another note, my sweet church friends threw me a baby shower yesterday. I felt very special and am so appreciative of them. And, I had to share a picture of these onesies that we received. If you’ve seen pictures of my girls, you know these are perfect for my babies :)
Happy Monday!,
Love the burlap placemats framed in white … what a fun pop of color and texture!
Great idea to frame those placemats – the white really makes them stand out. Sweet onesies.
They know you well! It’s all about the bow.
Love the idea of framing the placemats. Those onesies are adorable!
Oh my goodness– those onesies! I can’t even handle their cuteness.
I have loved Renee’s placemats for a long time, but this spin on them is fabulous! They look beautiful in your kitchen.

Love the framed placemats! And the onesies are pretty cute too! :)
I love those onesies. The bigger the bow one is too cute!
Fun idea for the placemats, I would have been afraid to use them too! Yes, I do remember seeing some BIG bows, too cute!!
Those onesies are fantastic! My girls are covered in bows most of the time, and love it!
awesome idea for the placemats! I’ve been trying to come up with an idea for a ‘collection’ of art in our dining room, and I think this will be my jumping off point! Thanks!
When I had my baby shower for my twins I had someone give me ONE onesie that said “Things are better in TWOS!” I was (and still am) a little confused by it!
I love the framed place mats!
What a smart idea! I love the look of the framed placemats…so simple and so perfect at the same time. And the onesies…oh my gosh so cute! I loved your pregnancy pics you posted recently. You look beautiful! By the way, when is your Better Homes and Gardens article coming out? Is it sometime soon?
Love this idea! They look so great! ~gina
Brilliant! Looks so great:)
So simple but I’m sure I would never have thought of that. Are you telling us the sex of the babies with these onesies???
How sweet!!!
Those onesies are hilarious! Made me laugh out loud!
Those are so fun! I love the texture the burlap gives against the white frames. And love the onesies. I’m a big fan of bows myself. :)
Love the idea with the placemats – they look great framed in white. And of course, it’s all about the bows :)
Great idea for art in the kitchen, love it!! The shirts are precious!! Too cute! Kathysue

Oh, Rene’s placemats look so cute like that. OK! Dying over the, “I like girls with big bows!” So hilarious. Oh, there will be sweet little bodies in those soon! So exciting, Emily.
Love the placemats and PERFECT for framing. Thanks for sharing – enjoy your week. Jalon
Oh my gosh…..framed!!! What an idea! Ah Ha!
Omigosh I wish they had those Onesies when my girls were little! My 22 year old still likes a good hair bow and the 18 year old is a bowed headband girl.
I love putting those simple Ikea frames in a grouping, what a clever way to save “pretty” placemats!
I love the look of these framed! i’ve seen quite a few home DIY’s with ikea matted frames. I’ll need to pick some up.
That is such a great idea to frame the placemats–they look great in the white frames. And those onesies are so adorable!
Love the framed placemats … and those onesies are HILARIOUS!!! Love!
fabulous onesies. Did I miss a post along the way, are you having two girls???
As for the placemats frames – they look fabulous!
LOVE THOSE ONSIES!!!!
LOVE THOSE ONSIES!!!!
I love the framed placemats! Such a clever idea!
Love the burlap placemats! BUT even more I love those onesies!!! The bigger the bows and the monograms the better is what I always say! =)
Love that you framed the place mats!
Great idea!
Oh, Emily! The onesies! I’m dying, they are so cute and appropriate. CanNOT wait to “meet” the little ones who will go in them!
How clever! I love the placemats as wall art! It is a wonderful thing when we are inspired by others creativity… I have been inspired!!!! And those onesies! Soooo adorable. So nice to stop by today!

Love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing….just “pinned it!”
those onesies are adorable! And the placemats are great too… love the texture.
Jenna
Ha, cute! Love the placemats due to the texture. Looks great!
This is a great idea! I have some extra burlap from a project gone wrong last year, and I just might have to frame some up with printed words for our kitchen!
The placemat frames are adorable…where did you get the placemats? Those onsies are precious…how are your new little blessings doing?
The color/pattern of the drapes is wonderful! What happens when all five kids are sitting at the table? There were 5 kids in our family and growing up (miitary dad) we weren’t able to talk at dinner!! I’m sure it’s a little more relaxed at your home. after all the work you’ve done, it’s really something that everyone’s talking about the framed placemats. I guess just because it’s such a clever, simple and inexpensive art option. Cheers!
