Last year our local Kansas City Gift Mart was closing so I scurried through one day looking for some final mark down items. What I came away with was the best bargain in the building: two heavy duty rolling walls! At $10 a piece I had to have them and even rented a U-Haul to get them back to the store. These two 8' x 8' plywood walls, secured on steel plates with casters was what I needed not only for picture hanging but to divide the store into departments. For months now they have been floating around the store, not looking very special as I was waiting on our wallpaper makeover to be finished. Last week, I got around to giving them my twirl. I ordered brick wallpaper to compliment the real brick we already had in the store and covered one rolling wall with it, front and back. Then I took a salvaged window and glued our cloud wallpaper to the back of the glass and hung it in the center of the wall. This was not only to use for our summer display as you enter the store, but eventually I knew this would be great to display curtain panels by just adding a curtain rod over the window. My final touch was to trowel a concrete compound over the edges to appear like grout. We use the second wall in the stationery department so I wallpapered all the maps we sell to it in random form. These maps are printed on good paper but not nearly as thick as wallpaper so I had to work fast as they adhered quickly. Gluing smaller portions like this was much easier than those 8' sections of rolled paper which I found myself buried under a time or two! The back of this wall faces the kitchen department so I wanted something more generic to attach to the backside. I had a bunch of scrap burlap in the workroom and a couple of old coffee bags so I spent a few hours cutting all of these apart in square shapes and fringing the edges just a bit. With a bucket of thick wallpaper paste I rolled a thick coat of paste to the wall, stuck the burlap to it and rolled over each section with more paste. Later I squeegeed the fabric smoothly trying to get the paste soaking through the fabric. Now that I have tackled this once, the key was to get the burlap really wet so it would flatten out and adhere. After I was finished I went back and took my trusty Elmer's and added more glue to the fringe where needed. After this was dry I decided to use tacks to the corners of each piece of burlap for a more industrial feel and because I was sure customers might touch and pick at the texture and I wanted it to stay secure. Finally, to finish the edges, I cut and tacked old yardsticks to the side. I have one other project up my sleeve I have always wanted to try, upholstering with crochet scraps... stay tuned.
I like interesting walls.....simply cannot stand flat, unadorned spaces. It goes back to my philosophy that rooms should entertain you. One way to dress up your walls is a simple but on-trend embellishment, the nailhead. You have loved them on furniture for years. Now consider adding this classic detail to your wall space. It is inexpensive and can be done with relative ease if you are the least bit creative. You can create patterns as well as outlines, run nailheads where the seams meet, apply them to ribbon trim, the ideas go on and on. If do it yourself projects don't appeal to you, I have even included images of walls covered in fabulous riveted wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries. So if you love the look you now have no excuses........ give it a try. Phillip Jeffries has long been a creator of beautiful textural wall coverings and his Rivets pattern combines the look of nail heads or industrial rivets with the texture they are known for in the interiors industry such as grasscloth, burlap, or linen. The next seven pictures all feature Rivets in it's various colors. Rivets wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries via pinterest housebeautiful.com The look of nailheads and rivets will elevate the look of any wall and bring definition to your space. You can concentrate on a single section of wall if doing the whole room is too much for you. andreagoldmandesign.com Here the wall behind the bed is covered in Rivets nailhead inspired wallpaper. It creates a great background that mixes well with other patterns. Terrat Elms Interior Design Such a cheerful room....I love it.

Recently I've been working with plaster surfaces on jute or burlap before adding layers encaustic. Here, I share my experimental work and process.
OK...first let's start with the new issue of House of Fifty. Baby it is live, as I am sure you all know! And the cover had me at "modern country".....that photo is stunning. Congratulations to Janell and her team because they are working it so right..... Next up I have a few pictures/ideas from a store I went to recently in Atlanta.....yes another one. Stand down people....I KNOW all of you do not live here but this is my hometown and I have to support all these design/home stores. Retail is tough out there! Boxwoods Garden and Gifts has an eclectic mix of decorative accessories, antiques and vintage furniture. It has always been a go to place if you needed a beautiful arrangement that might include an orchid, greenery and a beautiful container. Now they have opened a home store. WOWZA.....it is beautiful! This was on display right when you walked in, and I have to say that Brook and Steve would be proud. There is quite the "patina style" in this store! The stairs are just raw pine, but with a gray stain on them..... I love how primitive they look. Yes siree bob.....I want this ceiling. The white wood is just strips of PLYWOOD.....white washed. Uh huh...... Burlap curtains...so simple! The walls were a beautiful grayish french blue. Holy Christmas......this chair has my name written all over it.....invisible ink...:) Want some dishes with greek key? I do. How about some hot damn gorgeous silverware!!! This chest started singing when I looked at it. I think it felt it's own "hotness".... Iloveantiquemirrorsomuch. Burlap padded walls.....I want these when they finally put me away :) The edge of a cool bench.... Need some smokin cool tablecloths? Yeah...this had me dreaming.....what a ceiling. White and gray with a touch of green is so damn special.... I like that you can hang this on the wall... Old shutters....dishes stacked....and a cool console. Just doesn't get much better. Everywhere I looked....gorgeousness.....If you are in Atlanta....you must go take a look. There is so much to see here. OK...one last thing. Has anyone seen the HGTV show Donna Decorates Dallas??? That is one crazy show. I thought it was supposed to be funny at first. OK....I am not going to sit here like I am the authority on all things design because that is not the case. But I am just wondering is it a regional thing? Kind of like Swedish design is light and airy, and homes in the mountains are kind of woodsy and such? Cause that girl can pile on the bling. I guess that is why there is chocolate, strawberry and vanilla......everybody wants something different. For me.....and I am like Oprah right now [remember when she said she didn't like beef].....it is not quite my style...just saying. On a positive note...she is real pretty. And she will do an install in 6 inch heels..gotta hand it to her on that one. Last chance for the giveaway...... 52 days until Christmas.....Get going! Sha Fab
