Finish decorating my bedroom (read all 5 entries…)
what says ME

Now that my room has been painted and the furniture is all back in place, I’d like to finish it off by hanging some stuff on the walls. I have one large mirror above the radiator, but the rest of the wall(s) are blank. I purchased 7 small frames from Au Naturale, and these will go in a line above my bed. I am in process of converting them for hanging by attaching eye-hooks and wire, but I’m at a loss for what I want to put inside the frames.

The frames are wood, then clear glass, and then silver metal with a 3”x3” square for a picture. Considering the location, it won’t look right to have actual photos in there so I’d thought about putting plain, coloured squares. My friend Caroline suggested textured squares, and I’d even thought of putting in swatches from my curtain material and nightstand swag to sort of tie it all in. Or maybe cutting up an old map?

Ideas, anyone?

What about wrapping paper?

I’ve often seen nice wrapping paper and thought I’d like to hang a small section on my wall.

ooooh

I like that idea.

If I wasn’t having a personal boycott of B&Q I’d go grab some wallpaper samples and try that.

Maybe I’ll open up my scrapbox (like a book, only way less organised) and see if I’ve got sentimental pieces in there that would work (sometimes I save pieces of wrapping paper from gifts and oh my GAWD I just realised I have a swatch of the purple paper from the book HA gave me for my birthday and that would be perfect! )

One down, six to go.

That's exactly the paper I was thinking of!

I love that paper, it’s lush. Cool!

it is perfect

it is purple, which is one of the colours in my curtain fabric, and it has a textured pattern—this one will definitely go in the centre.
