I bought some canvases but haven't made the commitment to painting them yet. I wanted to do something that was fall-ish but not overly so, since it still feels a bit like summer out. I also wanted to keep if neutral, since our living room furniture is pretty bright.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQoBA_lLq_UpchWpUUdK6VBJE_yC1bZadtROpRVpjbO-iWaJdP9Xutl2e_lqHXwaflVaQO0DqazPM6WmQfvlq5LU1Oh8NgPCqxlpVGzFM9-Go25oMxln_xx__AuILXxuob_fDa9nlJFQrJ/s1600/IMG_5582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQoBA_lLq_UpchWpUUdK6VBJE_yC1bZadtROpRVpjbO-iWaJdP9Xutl2e_lqHXwaflVaQO0DqazPM6WmQfvlq5LU1Oh8NgPCqxlpVGzFM9-Go25oMxln_xx__AuILXxuob_fDa9nlJFQrJ/s640/IMG_5582.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />this project was so simple to make. hang a length of twine on the wall. cut out triangles from brown kraft paper [or use colored paper if you like] and attach to the twine. you can glue the paper on, or just use little clips or pins. I had these mini clothespins on hand and I think they go right with the neutral color scheme. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2v3D8dmu1McjNCGzjt-PwBqOvxBSq2ONzqmKLo_ffCdtlVpOHxBzm59lyF6vJw6t4VFaeEG5P8loZrG8vNA3HxJkUrzHRaLorXK9l-OCwOkzqxZW2juCmXKtoeHrkeGYhEXIChZRIYQ3C/s1600/IMG_5588.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2v3D8dmu1McjNCGzjt-PwBqOvxBSq2ONzqmKLo_ffCdtlVpOHxBzm59lyF6vJw6t4VFaeEG5P8loZrG8vNA3HxJkUrzHRaLorXK9l-OCwOkzqxZW2juCmXKtoeHrkeGYhEXIChZRIYQ3C/s640/IMG_5588.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />and that's it! I thought of painting the triangles or adding letters to spell something, but for now I like it plain. something very simple that brings in just a touch of whimsy and fun. and it makes me smile every time I look at the wall.<br /><br />speaking of the wall, I'm going to give away a big secret here. my wall actually does not look like the above photo. I did a little photoshop to make it look better, but I'm going to be honest with you.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk6rCPbKc946nPMg9tEpNnUvDyTkKfdGbW_12xtHL27-imuXc3BccW4EvIs5GRSBIynP_d4P8NYgJq4CnweF1PtW-Za0nqjZP229gAuBwHL94XF_E3q7zGWntTpCXj8rkcj7eA7bmqM2O/s1600/IMG_5598.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk6rCPbKc946nPMg9tEpNnUvDyTkKfdGbW_12xtHL27-imuXc3BccW4EvIs5GRSBIynP_d4P8NYgJq4CnweF1PtW-Za0nqjZP229gAuBwHL94XF_E3q7zGWntTpCXj8rkcj7eA7bmqM2O/s640/IMG_5598.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />the wall really looks like this. one of the joys of living in a school-owned apartment overseas? cement walls, fun wires and light switches in random places. [on the plus side, the nails I hung the bunting on were already in the wall.] I think that's another reason why I've been slow to decorate...but at least the bunting is a start!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQqUK4AMG8wIG0mYZK7bsTcVLtC5WMZW28jBgteeV541cYn50xxObBwIgnbZCGmE2taaYjcgwNdWQbNSjMJP_fS7k3Tc8im2FLHAYN_rT3p76By1RhWcIAQfMFBb6HpNms8I14GtbT9Wq/s1600/IMG_5594.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQqUK4AMG8wIG0mYZK7bsTcVLtC5WMZW28jBgteeV541cYn50xxObBwIgnbZCGmE2taaYjcgwNdWQbNSjMJP_fS7k3Tc8im2FLHAYN_rT3p76By1RhWcIAQfMFBb6HpNms8I14GtbT9Wq/s640/IMG_5594.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
