Framed scarves

Many years ago I became acquainted with the older sister of a friend~a wonderfully stylish woman who dressed the windows for Saks and Nordstrom and other stores.  Her home was darling and she had framed a large Hermès scarf in her family room.  It was the first time I had seen this done but it made a huge impact.  When I couldn't find the right artwork for my final project, the framed scarf came to mind and that's what I ended up doing.  It's a great idea and adds interest and style to any room.

And this is how I used a vintage Hermès scarf in my project.

Holiday House, the designer table top showhouse, was founded four years ago by Iris Dankner to raise breast cancer awareness in the design industry. Iris is a fifteen year breast cancer survivor, and has made it her mission to raise funds for breast cancer research and women who need help fighting this disease.
