Easy Does It on the Walls
A few days ago, I showed you my version of easy wall art. To me the best part of this is how easy it is to change and personalize. I found a lot more examples for when I'm ready for a change.

Easy Wall Art
{Some of the items in the photo: a few scrabooking accents, a photo of my grandma and a lifelong friend dressed up during the 1920's, a glass bead bracelet I bought in Venice, another photo of my grandma with her dog from approx 1919, and a Christmas ornament I bought in Germany}
A couple of months ago I ran across this post from Lauren at From Our Hiding Place. I've seen other ideas like this before but her post stuck with me. It was so simple but so cute!
When I re-arranged my craft room recently, I ended up with a totally blank wall where two large cabinets had been. I thought of Lauren, grabbed some twine, tiny clothes pins and random stuff to use. It was done! I originally only meant for it to be temporary but I like it so much, I stopped looking for anything else. The best part is how easy it is to change!
Take a look at Lauren's blog. I'm soooo jealous of her factory cart coffee table and that her husband seems be as much of a junk enthusiast as she is! I also had to laugh because her last two posts are exactly what I've been thinking about as well. She posted about her love of instagram and how she'd tried making her own laundry detergent. I wrote a post about how much I was using instagram lately and was going to publish it right after I showed off my wall in this post. So now you know what's coming up next! Thanks for the inspiration!

Ideas for my Walls
When you enter my house from the garage, you are in a tiny hallway. It leads to the 1/2 guest bath, the only one on the 1st floor. It is angled to allow for a walk in pantry and small-ish coat closet. You can see part of it from the open area kitchen/living/dining room.
In theory it isn't the first thing I'd think of improving in my home. But it gets a lot of use since it is how we usually enter the house and since guests must use it to access the 1/2 bath. It needs to be repainted in a bad, bad way. It is dirty and dented from all the use (and we've only been here 3 years!). I was going to repaint it with an eggshell finish paint to make clean up easier. After looking at pinterest I got the idea it needed something else. I think moulding would add interest and if I used wood backing, as opposed to faking it with only trim, it would add some dent protection. Painting it in high gloss to match the rest of the trim would also allow for easy clean up. Now I just need to pick out what look to go for...
