Grain Sack Style


Vintage grain sacks have always inspired me, and these items certainly do not disappoint.

Vintage grain sacks and burlap is relaxed without seeming sloppy, and in my opinion, they take center stage.
Everyone seems to be making everything out of grain (or rice, or coffee) sacks these days. And using them makes sense – durable fabric, cute/ironic graphics (when the sack isn’t used for it’s intended purpose anyway), and they’re relatively neutral, and often, you are upcycling.  Yes, a grain sack or burlap can work just about anywhere and in just about any décor, as seen here:

What great ideas. I love burlap bags too. I'm always watching on Craigslist for people getting rid of them! :) Thanks for sharing.
