I've been meaning to get around to this post for quite awhile now. So let's just get to it. I live in a row house so I have long walls in my rooms, so they can be quite the challenge. So with all the inspirational photos on Pinterest I decided to tackle my living room wall again. So here is the bad cell phone photo of the before.
and here is after
Here is my husband bitching while hanging my shelves
So I am in love with how it turned out. The shelves are 4ft long so that will give you some perspective on the size of the whole thing. Here are some close ups.
so a little bit about some of the things on here. The shelves are from Ikea, in the photo section.
a. I made this huge frame using Crate Paper Portrait collection and Glue Arts Vinyl. Tutorial here.
b. Print by Steph Wheeler. Here.
c. Pinterest inspiration project for American Crafts. Here.
d. Another Pinterest Inspiration project I made using wire, Maya Road ribbon and Butterflies. Original project here.
e. Birdhouse in a stick. More pics here.
f. I bought this C on ebay from a shop that sells old movie theater marquee letters. So cool, here.
g. I picked this wire C up on etsy, here.
h. Vintage printers tray tutorial, here.
i. Clock made from a record, here.
j. I have one of Jamie's original books. See her blog here.
k. My father in law laser cut this car from sheet metal wayyyy back when.
l. I picked up this bike at the goodwill, isn't it cool?!
love it Jenny, such an awesome idea, it looks gorgeous and what a great way to showcase your talent!

This might not be the ideal place to request this, but I’m trying to find a FREE House Plans online and and have no method to find out who is the very best. I uncovered this website which is I find reliable and wanted to see if any person has any reviews on them. SDS CAD. http://www.100freehouseplans.com/
Please help me with this as my wife and I have been struggling to find a good/reliable site to obtain affordable and even FREE house designs.
