DIY Crate and Barrel design

Crate and Barrel is currently spotlighting in their email a very sleek desk and behind it, a set of prints that go for around $369.00.

Now, some of you out there might say, "What a great price for six different fabrics put in six frames." But for the girl on a budget or any sane person, you could easily put this together yourself for a lot less.

I went online to fabric.com and found fabrics ranging from $8.00 to $10.00 a yard with similar colors and designs.

All you would need to do is find six frames that are similar to the ones above, cut the fabric to fit the frames and Ta-Da!! You have a DIY Crate and Barrel Classical Symmetry Print Set for about one fifth the price.
