Our childhood memories involve going to a friend or relative’s house and hanging with the folks we love (or are forced to hang out with), so they often include snapshots of the stuff we found visually interesting in the home.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
For crafty upcycler Emily Seilhamer those snapshots from her grandma’s house include one key (lime green and yellow) element- the wallpaper her grandma had hanging in the kitchen.
Emily loved this wallpaper so much she decided to snag it when the house was remodeled and sold, but instead of shoving it in some memory box somewhere she turned it into a vintage style dress.
Now she can walk around proudly with her childhood memories on her back, knowing the dress she made isn’t some tacky piece of upcycled trash- it’s beautiful and looks like something her grandma would have worn in the 60s.
