I put a small piece of it in a frame and used it as my guide. The rest was easy really, I just bought some dark orange scrapbook paper and added it to some old frames I had lying around and hot glued some metal keys on top of the paper. I didn't measure or plan out the layout, I just started hanging things up and when something didn't look right, I just put another nail hole in the wall. And another one....and then some more. I made sure I did this project when my husband wasn't home otherwise he would make me measure, use a level and make it all perfect and stuff. I don't measure because even if I did, I still wouldn't get it right and I would just have to make another nail hole anyway so why bother. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Anyway, after everything was up on the wall, I displayed some old blue Mason jars that my husband's grandmother gave me to go with the aqua in the fabric. The only thing I purchased was a new rug from Ikea that has just about every color in it including blue and orange so it can be moved around the house easily.

better but boring! |
I've had it like this for a while now and I'm already for a change! Not sure what will go up next but I'm thinking something big and bold! And I would like a new table there, something that will actually have some drawers for storage and maybe big enough to hold two lamps.
What would you do in this space????
