apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i actually really like this idea. bookmarked!

cats

This is cute but I'm hesitant to crimp my photos with paper clips. I guess I could use it for stuff I could easily copy (digital prints) or so much other ephemera I hang onto...

uhhh... what's that about cats, Pistachio?

Looks a little too Kindergarten for me...

cats would love to pull the strings down. at least all cats i know would.

hm. i must say that i d not really like the idea ... might work, depending on where you do it and what you stick to it, but i find it rather distracting.

I had something similar once... I hung yarn vertically from a curtain rod, and clipped postcards of artwork onto it.

Worked great until my cat ate the string he could reach.

whytephoenix -- it was the first word that popped into my head when i saw all that lovely string hanging on the walls asking to be played with.

I did something like this, but stretched the yarn across a big empty frame I'd picked up at a yard sale. The frame gives this idea a little more structure, which is important to me!

forgot to mention - I use it now as a quirky inspiration board.

ummm...not everyone has a cat. My dog couldn't care less about what is on the walls. (the floor now, that is another story)

I could see this as a kind of "art installation"; in the right spot it could look stunning. I'm thinking a somewhat color-curated rectangle as an accent on a differently colored wall...

When these sort of impulses hit me, I usually lie down until the fancy passes. But I like Heather's idea of the frame.

i agree with Pistachio: ...Cats

Reminds me of John Nash's boards in a "Beautiful Mind." No thanks.

love it!

I had this as a calendar a few months ago, but my Design hyperactive and switch my calendar to a wall weekday calendar, but when I had it I got tons of compliments.

my cat would freak. i recently had to move my desk simply b/c she tried to rip the cat5 cable down. grrr
