When we moved in to our apartment, our basement might have been mistaken for a McDonald's playhouse gone wrong. Bright mustard yellow and red coated the poorly painted walls—maybe the previous tenants had a love for condiments...? But with a heavy duty primer/paint, we have tried to refurbish the place with the words 'shabby chic', 'eclectic', and basically Anthropologie as our guides.
I took several sheets of paper, cut them into rectangular strips, and sewed down the middle to make a sort of party-style paper garland. That, the paper lanterns, and El maps—in addition to the pipe in the middle of our ceiling and the unleveled floors—have literally turned our room into a 'shabby chic' hangout.
Never underestimate the power of paper. Handmadeology demonstrates a multitude of things to create with paper and fabric.
