Several months ago we bought 9 of the Malma frames, knowing we could use them somewhere. But instead they sat in a closet all this time! I finally decided to pull them out and brainstorm. It’s not a new idea. They’re basically designed to be personalized at home, since they’re just unfinished wood.
