Definitely too staged looking. Most entries are from people who truly love their homes, and the spaces typically reflect a bit of the owners' soul. This just feels commercial.

Great idea! Though they are actually called 'hoops,' not 'loops.' :)

You could also use a heavy duty Command hook, and not have to put any holes in the wall!

I agree with some pop of color that feels right to you--a variation on your blue, or even a nice rich red. Our house is fairly neutral, but we have a red, a purple, and a teal painted wooden chairs that migrate to different rooms and give some surprise and interest.

I don't have a Dutch Oven, either. I use the insert from my Crockpot--it's nice and heavy, and works great.

Good call, radjam--that's exactly what it looks like.

The idea of the stain is kind of cool and different, but both types of pulls seem like odd choices for this piece.

That's amazing! It wouldn't stay white very long in my house, though.

Danica--Wow! Thanks for the link. We have nice 50 year old oak floors in part of our bedroom, but where previous owners added on, the floor is 25 year old carpet over wavy plywood. We've been stuck trying to figure out a nice looking, cost effective, non-carpet option. This looks promising.

This looks interesting, but I can only see photos on Amanda's blog of the finished product. No details about the process. What is the fabric glued to?
