It is pretty apparent that Burlap and grain sacks are all the rage in decorating, well one of them anyway!
They add texture, color and visual interest to just about any room.
My Mom sent me this link today, and I thought it was great to share with my friends.
I did a little project of my own as well with some FREE burlap bags my FIL gave me.
I mentioned to you, that they are rice bags,and that you should check with your local grocer to see if they would throw you a few. I thought about coffee sacks as well…it certainly does not hurt to ask, and FREE is always a good.
