I'm doing a lot of projects with my kiddos this summer, and I wanted a place to display all their art work and such. We're actually going to be in this house for a few years, so I wanted something more "permanent" that will make it through those 3 years.

Paint it
Remove tape
Use molding to border around it
Ta-da! I love how this just blends in with the "accent" wall we have right across from it. Makes your eye take in the whole room.
