Hi,
I am working on decorating my daughters bedroom. We are renting and it has really nice wood paneling (I think that's an oxymoron) on 3 walls we could paint but then it just looks like painted paneling, and no one likes that design. My daughter Sierra or as I call her Little Duck, is only 2 and so I get to make most of the color choices. I was going to put fabric up on all 3 walls with the paneling but then realized how much that would cost, way to much for a rental. So, I went with bulletin boards covered in fabric and curtains to match. For each bulletin board I found some really nice fabric with flowers that Little Duck liked and a coordinating solid in fuchsia. I used spray glue to adhere them to the cork and then using a hot glue gun I tacked on ribbon in a diamond pattern. I made 3 smaller 12" X 12" ones and just put the ribbon on the top to hang them. In the pictures you can see what one of the empty ones looks like and also how I put pictures of the family in the other one. You can also see how they do a great job of breaking up the paneling and with the furniture it really turned out nice.

Let me know what you think.
