Can we say uninspiring, boring...ugly! I was having issues with this wall because it is so big and I didn't know how to dress it up. This obviously was not the way to go. So I emailed a picture to my big sis and mom to get a few ideas. They were able to point me in the right direction and I ran with it. Here are the results: 
I love the way it turned out. I even designed and built the plant stand all by self! I wanted an old crate and could not find one anywhere, so I just made one. It turned out better than I expected, so I'm tooting my own horn a little! Here's a close up of it. 
I cut all the boards by hand (I don't have a power saw, but now I know what to ask Santa for!) and hammered all the nails without the help of a compressor. I chose boards that were a little beat up, then I found a stain that gave it more of a weathered look. It turned out perfectly imperfect!Now that this room is done, I hope it will help me be more motivated to keep it clean!!
And here is the perfect window treatment:
Who doesn't love a monkey in a window???
looks great!
ReplyDeletePoppy, I love it! The colors and everything work really well together. And am really impressed with the plant stand--I love how weathered it looks--may have to do something like that myself. It is hard to find those old crates, esp. for a semi-affordable amount.
ReplyDeletethat is quite impressive! come visit and teach me how! i love how it fits with the rest of your decor.
ReplyDeletethe window monkey is very nice, as well.
I'm very impressed and how cute that crate is.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Poppy! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo impressive! Mind if I borrow a few ideas? It really looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI love it! You are so good with stuff like this - I love the lighthouse pictures and the crate - I can't believe you just made that all by yourself. I'm so impressed.
