Cocktail-inspired papers {Scriptura}

On our recent jaunt down Magazine Street, BFF Melanie (@onelittlejaybird) and I ducked into my fave Magazine Street stationery store, Scriptura for some inspiration. We discovered three new papers made exclusively by Scriptura. Each design hit the shelves recently. Though I purchased all three designs, let me share with you today one of the designs I used in my home already.



The New Orleans cocktail-inspired paper makes a wonderful addition to the backsplash of our bar area. The great thing is that I can change it regularly. I measured the back wall carefully and had it professionally laminated at our local Fed Ex/Kinko's.




I framed another sheet in two simple black frames which hang perfectly on either side of the bar.



With another sheet, I cut it to fit the bottom of an acrylic tray. The tray is made for inserting fabrics and papers. I found the perfect tray on etsy {click HERE}.




I think the paper makes an excellent statement and will be changing it out periodically. 





By the way, I used glue dots to make the hanging and removal easy.



Cocktail-inspired back splash, y'all!

  7. Well, this about the cleverest thing I have seen all day. Now I need to figure out somewhere to use it. I have a different bar set up than you, so the backsplash idea for the bar won't work for me. I already have a tray for the booze, so that won't work either. Now this is going to bug me till I figure it out! Do know if this store does mail order?
