I have this large white wall in the living of SunDaze that expands nearly the entire length of the home. It also has a stupid window right in the middle of it that looks into the kitchen. Oh, and my husband's huge tv sitting on a long, low white custom shelves we made for our Seattle home about 15 years ago, and have now transferred to our vacation home. Our first thought was to cover it with raw wood, then realized how much raw wood we'd actually need. Then I thought about hanging old, white washed windows from it. Again, FREE is always better, and those windows are difficult to come by. Then, inspiration struck from the Pottery Barn catalog! A beautiful macrame wall hanging on a brick wall! Well, my walls are white, but a natural piece of 1980's artwork with it's gorgeous texture and ability to create the exact size I need fits the bill. AND, 200m of it was only $16 off Amazon! (The branch I can get from my yard.)
The string was delivered this week, so now what? I've watched YouTube videos and I believe I found my design. This weekend I'll have my husband follow me out to the yard with a saw and have him help me hang it from a wall so I can start my design.
I can actually see myself getting into this macrame habit. I can't knit, or crochet, or sew, or paint, or draw ... but I can make knots and braid. Also, rather than sitting around at SunDaze, I can be doing some busy work I enjoy.
I'll post some blogs as I get things started ...
