This is a wall in our office/craftroom/library!
To see the whole office go HERE.
I would have done wallpaper or paint but since this is not "my" house I had to come up with a different, less permanent way.... So after searching through stores I found this heavy duty WRAPPING PAPER! $3 a roll! It also had to be wide enough so the frames wouldn't overlap the edges.
How-To: So at the top I folded over the edge of the paper and put thumb tacks through. The fold hides the thumb tacks. It worked great, ABOVE: I've pulled out the paper so you could see.
It still needed a bit more to make the paper lay completely flat so I bought BLUE paint and PAINTED the thumb tacks and stuck them along the top and sides. Crazy I know! You can't even see them! I also put a tack on each side at the bottom.
This is a frame from IKEA, I never liked it black so I painted it white. I was lucky enough to find an un-damaged one there too.
I also found these lamps in the AS-IS at Ikea, I can't even tell that something is wrong with them. They were $2.99! Taking a page out of Laurens book I added some ruffled fabric around the bottom of the lamp shade.
We just love to sit here and read and study.
If I ever want to change out the "wallpaper" for a different color I can always go to the party store ;).
oops- I must not be keeping good track of the dates. This room rocks! I'm not worthy!
