The WALL. The thorn in my side, the pain in my ass, the hardest wall to decorate. I could go on and on about this focal wall in my family room. This wall has haunted me since the day we moved into this house. I tried several methods for decorating this wall and they all were big fat failures. I finally decided on a wall full of brightly colored/whimsical designed frames. I am pleased with the way it turned out. I don't think I can ever be fully happy with anything on this wall as it is a hard wall to decorate. Our family room is in the back of the house and it can be best described as a saltbox design. This means that it slopes from really tall height to standard height. So the one end is 20 plus feet and the other end is 9 feet. My friend came up with the good idea to arrange the frames with the contour of the wall. So start high and taper down. This worked out really well.
It only took me 11 (almost 12) months to complete this space, but I'm glad to be done with it. I'm really glad to not be looking at cut out craft paper as place holders for the frames. That was annoying. Now maybe I can start focusing on all the other areas of my very empty house that need to be decorated. I miss my old house : (
