OH! How I wish you knew the satisfaction...the happiness...the JOY...that this brings me! This playroom redo is finally coming to an end, and the pure euphoria that flows through me when I enter this room is simply indescribable.
BUT, I'm not there yet. I'll save you all the sappiness until my final playroom post.
Today, I'll talk about this wall.
To be honest, I really intended on creating a picture gallery on this wall...I even had the thrifted frames dusted off and ready to go, but at the last minute I scratched it and went in another direction.
Instead, I gathered up several bold fabric pieces and as many antique wooden pants hangers I could find.
Because I knew the fabric and hanger weren't going to be that heavy, I opted to use Command hooks. (Surely I've told you how much I love these things...)
I didn't do much measuring. I more so concentrated on spacing, making sure they were all about 2 inches apart.
But, then I realized my fabric was sagging on the corners, so I....
cut up a few strips of cardboard and glued them to the back of my fabric with spray adhesive.
Perfect, easy fix.

ReplyDeleteOh my...this is so very charming in this playroom. I have been selling these as picture frames in my shop, so you might want to try some 8x10 prints, that's if you ever want to change it up. Thanks for sharing at my party.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda

ReplyDeleteI will be featuring it during Sticker Time on Saturday. Thank you so much for visiting my party. What an adorable blog you have!
Besos!
Fabulous idea! I think this would look great in our basement space. Thanks for the inspiration! I am going to pin this! Can't wait to check out the rest of your playroom!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO FUN! What a great idea! Would be totally cool to adapt this idea to use in a kitchen with those fun retro tea towels with the cool graphic design/images on them...
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. I am definitely gonna have to remember this one :) Pinning!
ReplyDeleteYou've created such a bright, fun playroom! Love your choice of colorful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteHolly, This is just amazing! I LOVE fabric, but all of mine is hidden away in closets! The colors are so happy! Life to the full, Melissa
ReplyDeleteGreat playroom, well done! Love the fabric hanging on the pant hangers, and your cardboard strip is a clever DIY tip, thanks from a quilter, your fabrics are fab!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. It would look great in my new studio space. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGirl, You are awesome. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHolly, this is beautiful! I love that little table--did you just cut down a big one? And what can you tell me about those chairs? I have two of them but they are yellow. How wonderful that you found four of them!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a regular sized table...kitchen table we found at Pier 1 years ago...the picture probably makes it look small...
DeleteI found the chairs a while ago at a thrift store...there were 8 of them total! My sister-in-law and I split them up! I've been in love ever since! :)
So original, I love it! Great tips! I've had fun looking over your blog. I would love to have you come share at my link party, as well! It's hosted every Saturday, but you can still enter. Hope to see you there! http://www.oneshetwoshe.com/2012/09/hello-weekend-50-mikarose-giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteI love this use of vintage fabric. I have a blank wall in our entry way that could use the same treatment. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this idea!! SO bold and pretty! You are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI've pinned and shared on FB!
This is a marvelous idea! I might copy it to display some of my vintage linens. My father-in-law had a closet full of those hangers and I was going to donate them to Goodwill. Now, I'm going to donate them to ME!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! It would also be great in a craft or sewing room-a great way to store fabric scraps AND have decor-dual purpose! Of course, you wouldn't be able to glue the cardboard to the back if you intend to use them.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Sew Many Ways - this is awesome
ReplyDeleteLove, love, double love. What a great idea & I love the fact that you can change them out with the seasons if you wanted to. GREAT idea!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I was wondering how you got the fabric not to sag & now I know! Great tip. Sarah
