And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.

I know this post may be shocking to those north of the border, but whatever, this is where we live. We ordered a USA map from These Are Things for the girls' room and put it in an Ikea frame which has been hand spray painted by yours truly. The metallic makes all the difference expecially since the mat matches up a little too closely to our "designer beige" walls. It's a big upgrade and I love it! We also have this world map from These Are Things (we custom framed that piece) and we love it. These prints come highly recommended by the Muirhead family!

PS: if anyone knows of any Canada or Alberta art that's equally gorgeous please let me know. I've had a really hard time finding some, although I think I recently found a perfect Alberta print. I would love to find an afforable painting of Alberta's farmlands and mountains.

It looks great! I love the gold. It’s amazing what a little paint can do to an ikea frame!

Love the frame and the content. the girls need to feel invested in where they are living. I appreciate that you are still teaching them about Canada and we are always on the lookout for “Canadiana” type stuff for you… i will keep an eye out for some alberta/canada paintings as Grandma is cleaning out some stuff. I may have some for you already… we will take a look the next time you are up.

www.brentlaycock.com  He is a friends Dad.  I don’t know what his prices are but he does some nice landscape paintings.  I like the map.  I totally need to get one because I never know where anything in the states is.
