cruzisme Posted April 3, 2014 #51 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Lisa, you are doing a great job showing how reusing items from places like a thrift store and using your own ideas, color scheme,etc to create a new usable item for your home is possible!

RedHeadTexan Posted April 4, 2014 Author #52 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Tomorrow is the day that we start hanging everything that I have been working on. I have purchased more items to paint, but decided to start getting things on the wall before painting anything else. It is getting exciting now! :D Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted April 5, 2014 #54 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Did you paint or use tape for the stripes on the dresser and bookcase? If tape what did you use? Thanks. Love following your decorating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartbda Posted April 5, 2014 #56 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lisa, I see this as a start of a side business for you. After all your friends see how wonderful everything looks, they can get the word out. Word of mouth can be the best advertising.:) Many wildly successful businesses started out with some little home project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 5, 2014 #57 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I used contact paper that I bought on Amazon. Lisa Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Thanks. Probably going to do that over the summer. DD moving into her first apt and furnishing it with used, mismatched furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytime2014 Posted April 5, 2014 #58 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks. Probably going to do that over the summer. DD moving into her first apt and furnishing it with used, mismatched furniture. thank you all for the ah-ha moment. I have mismatched furniture in my bedroom [bookshelf, chest/drawers] that i need but don't work together. All I need now is a color scheme....framed accessories would be pretty cool in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTexan Posted April 5, 2014 Author #60 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Today I have spent the day hanging almost everything on the wall. I have used my stud finder, level, anchor screws, picture hooks, bolts, a ceiling hook, my Dewalt Power Drill, a hammer, and probably some more random stuff. I ran out of hanging brackets and need a chain to hang the second "lady". So, other than a few random things, it's 95% done. I will definitely post pictures when it is all done, but here are some from throughout today. Tip: hang the bigger stuff first. Then hang some stuff on it so you know where to hang other things (sorry this one is blurry) Add more to the walls Start filling in with the smaller items and step back to look at the whole wall. More blurry photos...but keep adding. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadTexan Posted April 5, 2014 Author #61 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I am stopping for the night, but this is how it looks right now. Left side of the wall Right side of the wall I already feel like I can finally get to all of my accessories and actually know what I have. It's a great sense of accomplishment.

maureencruiser Posted April 6, 2014 #62 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wonderful! Won't the door hit the bags and scarves, though? Or, is that a door that you do not use? You are very inspiring! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadTexan Posted April 6, 2014 Author #63 Share Posted April 6, 2014 There is just enough clearance for the door to open all the way. I double checked before I hung anything there. I am glad you like it. Lisa Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTexan Posted April 12, 2014 Author #73 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thank you for all of the compliments! I am stunned at how well it turned out and will probably continue this on a second wall...but not for a few months. There are too many other home projects to work on right now, so it will have to wait. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
