Five bloggers have organized a monthly Mission Possible link party, and I visited to see the gatherings; now I'm eager to participate!
Because the theme emphasizes simplicity, I'm sharing one of the fastest new, small decor concepts I recently discovered.
My new craft room's plain wall required some embellishment, inspired by an image from Pottery Barn's newest catalogue:
Many elements of the photo were inspiring, yet the rolling pin positioned at the top center truly captured my attention—so inventive!
I decided to create my own rendition, utilizing my Grandma's vintage rolling pin which still rotates beautifully. I attached one end of jute to the pin and spun it rapidly with my free hand. {Capturing this step was impossible without hands, but the visual should be clear!} I continued spinning the jute until it was spread evenly across the rolling pin.
Next, I secured additional jute onto each handle, creating loops for hanging, and tied the ends securely.
Decorative hangers were affixed to the wall using old porcelain electrical conduits.
A small jute 'clothesline' equipped with clothespins displays some of my preferred paint swatch shades {though it would also suit an entryway for holding memos}.
As an extra treat! This setup is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical; when I need jute, I simply pull the string, and it unrolls smoothly.
