But with so many choices and the high price of some of wallpapers, wallpapers can be a bit scary. This image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishandchi/4349710871/">Shanandchi</a> give us a great solution: Wallpaper frames!! Why do we put wallpapers in frames and hang them on our walls. We can go as big as we want and change often the wallpaper when we are tired of the old one. This could be cheaply and easily and give a great look to your interior and it could also be done with fabric.

It's just so fun! We write on it the grocery list, the menu for the week, the countdown for the baby's arrival and any inspiring quote we find. But maybe a wall is too much for you, here is a great idea by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28760738@N07/4350319169">Haust</a>. Why do you just paint a door? All the fun and maybe less of the stress. What do you think?</div>Carolinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05580498164851391255noreply@blogger.com0
