I've done this - it's cheap and even I (who has no artistic talent) was able to make the wall nice.<br />2) Go to the thrift stores in your area - I've always found nice, framed pictures very inexpensively.<br />3) Find wooden letters very cheaply on Ebay or Michaels (you can paint them yourself), use them to write a favorite verse/message, and nail the saying to the wall.<br /><br />hawaiismn(at)gmail(dot)comSarah Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922887565295403855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722634189133241119.post-75734477716489049912009-11-16T00:36:50.941-08:002009-11-16T00:36:50.941-08:00First of all if you don't want to be crafty, a...First of all if you don't want to be crafty, a mirror would be excellent here. It'll continue the feel of the window and make the space seem larger, plus depending on the moulding, you can add your architectural/color style to the space.<br /><br />If you do want to get crafty, I say find some great fabric and use or make your own stretcher frames to make a colorful statement.<br />lkziegler[at]gmail[dot]comLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503404052538005760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722634189133241119.post-63836281807582081922009-11-15T22:02:30.304-08:002009-11-15T22:02:30.304-08:00Have you thought about maybe stenciling something ...Have you thought about maybe stenciling something there that is meaningful to you, like a quote?<br /><br />Christine<br />dazed1821@AOL.COMChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176146930654904822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722634189133241119.post-79573223129051854762009-11-15T03:22:10.777-08:002009-11-15T03:22:10.777-08:00I would:

I'd get a number of variously sized/shaped black photo frames (or ones that you can paint black), print a black and white photo for each one (an eclectic collection of faces and landscapes works well, use a white mat for each photo, and put them up in whatever arrangement pleases you. I've read that threes work well for decorating, so I'd say the minimum should be three. <br /><br />Jane's brown and sepia sounds good too.Lexyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192387833153608786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722634189133241119.post-43557107490509889682009-11-13T17:36:31.771-08:002009-11-13T17:36:31.771-08:00- paint the wall chocolate

So I took, for me, a creative photo of each kid playing an instrument. I colorized them using photo software in sepia tones, sent them to the local grocery store and printed them off in 14 x 16 or 20, can't remember - they were only about $8 each (posters were very expensive) Then I bought frames at Michaels and arranged them in a grid. I think something like that would be nice.<br /><br />That's all for now!Maiden Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714005634771057441noreply@blogger.com
