So, because I have been feeling a complete lack of inspiration on the blogging front, I figured I would try to jump start myself by posting about some design ideas for the new house which may or may not pan out.
I am obsessed with maps lately, so when I stumbled across these maps (I was able to get it for cheaper, but I guess the company I purchased from is now out of them - however, these are still almost 1/2 the price of the exact same one that UO is selling!) that would take up an entire wall, I knew this was what I wanted to attempt in Paddy's room.
Now, I would love to hang this in a way that I might be able to re-use it in the future, but I haven't had a brilliant idea for how to do that. The whole map is more than 8 feet by 13 feet, and it comes in three large pieces. If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them! The only thing I thought of was binder clips?? Not sure if those would be strong enough to hold these pieces up since they technically should be hung like wallpaper. Poor Krissy - she keeps offering to help me paint, then she spilled the beans that she knows how to wallpaper. She is in trouble...I am going to probably take her up on ALL her offers :)
Then, I will probably paint the rest of the walls a light blue to go along with the map...I finally bit the bullet and ordered the map, so I will try to color match once I receive it.
I also love the chair in this pic! For now, Paddy will be stuck with the vintage orange beauty :)
So...should I start a poll on how long it is going to take to hang this bad boy?
