In September I went on a girls’ trip to Quebec City for 4 days and we all had an absolute blast – it was my first time in this extraordinary city. Last month my husband and I needed to drive to Prince Edward Island for a wedding so we decided to stop in Quebec City to break up the long 14.5 hour drive. We had a blast once again and stayed in the cutest historical homes turned into little boutique hotels. On our stop on the way to PEI we hit up “antique row” in Old Quebec which consists of about 3 antique stores (LOL) and in one I found a pile of textiles. I of course had to rummage through it because my obsession with textiles is extreme. And in it I spotted a tapestry. I nearly had a stroke. It had no price and I could not open much of it because it seemed very large and the store is very small and full. So I unfolded it slightly, tried not to stroke out, and asked the owner how much he wanted for it. He said it was in rough shape, so he’d sell it for $75. WHAT?!?!?! I thought for sure I was going to have a stroke at that point, and I said I love things that are not perfect, and I’d take it. When we got to PEI I unfolded it and it was the size of my mother in law’s 3 seater sofa. 58″ x 110″ to be exact. Where do I hang something so large? How about in a draped fashion behind my bed? PERFECTION!!! I could not love this thing more, and is the best $75 I have spent maybe ever. I switched out the blanket I had draped over the raw wood headboard for a kantha quilt, realized I had matching tapestry-like pillows (that I found in 2 different thrift stores years apart), a duvet cover that is on its last legs, and a Zara wool blanket I bought last year. At the last minute I pulled out some curtains I bought a couple years ago at Simons on super sale, and hung them up with some strategically placed safety pins (too long). Voila! What do you think?
