OMG! I HAve Been Queer-Eyed

OMG! As the title already states, "I Have Been Queer-Eyed !" I had an idea, and I am experimenting. I had wanted to make a change. nothing drastic, but I wanted to do something different. I no longer just wanted to live with just plain blank, painted walls.

I am not artsy enough to do murals or anything, or even faux-suede a paint scheme, so I had a thought. Mind you, I never said it was a good one, or well thought out.

My idea was to use material to hand and put a scene up in one corner of the living room. In my mind, and stole the idea from someone else, I wanted to put up trees. I had originally seen White Birch Tree pattern used like this in a corner and it really brightened up the room, and made a little statement. Sure did break up just the whole mono-chromatic paint scheme.

Sighs, as is always my luck, "A Day Late, And A Dollar Short," It took me some time to track down where the material was purchased at. They no longer handled the White Birch design. Sighs, Had to go to a plan B. Had to find another design. Finally decided on an Oak Tree Pattern. Of the four designs available, the one I opted for was the lightest shade. Sighing, it is still too dark now that I have it up.

Which brings me up to my next hurdle, How to hang this. I had asked questions when I got the material. They recommended me to go to a paint store. Alas, the one they recommended is not long in existence. Some thoughts given to me was to use wall paper paste to glue it up, Grommets was another option, and to not have the grommets show, would turn the top edge over so that the material would drape back up and over the grommets and they would not show at all. This would have moved the top edge of the material out from the wall before coming back down. I went for another route. I went with Velcro. So, if the idea does not work out, can more easily return back to the way it was.

So, below is how the end? product looks. Comments or guffaws are always welcomed.
