Yesterday, I posted one of my recently concluded projects - the photo frames. I love that they are all up, I am happy with the frames and the photos that I have decided to put inside them. But for days I have been staring at that wall with that gnawing feeling that somehow something's amiss. And looking around our room that little voice got louder because I felt that the wall does not anymore connect to any part of the room. The vase holding capiz leaves placed on the iron shelf looked out of place.
When I got home from work, I decided to remove the vase and the capiz leaves. The vase which really is a wine bottle, I could easily store in the buffet cabinet, where its stopper is waiting. The capiz leaves I did not know where to put them. I didn't want to store decorative pieces so I was already toying with the idea of giving them away or including them in a yard sale. Then an idea struck.
Yesterday, I have been thinking of adding a few more photo frames but hubby wouldn't have welcomed that idea. Then I thought of adding stickers. Decals, like the ones I used for the cabinet doors, could have tied the wall with the cabinet doors and added a bit more oomph to the frames. But I have to bring down the frames and stick them one by one. Just thinking about it made me tired. But I also knew I wanted to add a bit more to this wall and somehow unify it with something in our room. The capiz leaves became the answer. They made for a better substitute to the decals. They were easier to mount on our wall and I didn't even have to take down the frames. And somehow, I think, they tied the wall to the cabinet doors, creating a corner that now has a quirky feminine vibe to it. Playful and a bit romantic, well at least that's how I see it.
