Hello Lovelies, today I want to share a wall in our house that I have been hating for a long time. It is a narrow wall right next to our Family room. There is a Thermostat right smack in the middle of it, so I never really knew what to do with it. So I just left it naked for 5 years....LOL
But after getting into the beautiful "Land Of Blogging" and seeing all those beautiful Gallery Walls everyone seems to be doing these days, I went through my house and found a bunch of homeless junk I had stuffed away in a closet.
I ended up HIDING the Thermostat in plain sight by putting an empty frame around it. There is enough interest going on on the wall, and it does not stick out like an eye sore anymore.
The number 3 stands for "Three in our Family"
There are still a couple of gaps that could be filled with more treasures, I will be on the look-out!
But for now I think it's a big improvement
What do you guys think?
I love to hear from you!!!!

I love your gallery wall and "hidden" thermostat! You did a great job using items you already had. I just love the chalkboard leaning against the wall and the candlesticks. Your family room looks so relaxing and cozy too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Christine!
You are right - it just fades away simply by framing it. You had ALL those lovely items just hid away? I love what you did to this wall. The wooden piece at the top is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteSaturday Blessings!

Really like your wall, you found some neat things to use there plus you now can't tell there is a thermostat on the wall! Great candlesticks too!
ReplyDeleteGreat job - although I think I would paint the white part of the thermostat with chalkboard paint so it fades even more! Sweet idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! It looks great! Good job.
ReplyDeletegreat idea...my thermostat is tricky since it's by some shelves already...I'll have to think on how to apply this.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! Your last pic really shows how the thermostat really stands out when it is "all alone" but combined with the pieces you've placed on the wall along with the frame, it almost disappears! Think I'll go take another look at ours and see what could be done!
ReplyDeleteDD
Very clever.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Definitely going to have to copy that :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I have a wall exactly like that!!! Plus mine has a double wall switch on it too! I have it "hidden" with a tall urn of sticks! But, I'm def going to think about a gallery wall. Your gallery wall is gorgeous, Way to shop your own home! I love the top tray, or wooden thing (lol). Looks great. :) Julia
ReplyDeleteI really like the gallery wall....Don't you wish thermostats were made by women so they'd be pretty and functional at the same time....
ReplyDeleteGood job making yours disappear!
This looks amazing!! So creative and pretty! (Love that 'tray')

What a neat idea! I thought it was part of your display on the wall until you pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteI think everything looks great! You have a wonderful touch - nothing makes a home feel so homey as the special touches!
ReplyDeleteThis is way cool! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTotally smart! If you didn't point it out at first glance I wouldn't have guessed it was a thermostate. The entire wall design looks really great- love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Link Up this week!

ReplyDeleteLooks great! If you can't hide it...decorate it :)
