Wall coverings

[livingdeb]

So I saw the most unexpected wall covering in an entry in the cool tiny apartment contest.

You know how when you rent you're not allowed to mess with the walls? So I've heard of people putting nails in the walls and then refilling the holes when they leave. And I've heard of stapling or starching fabric to the walls so that it can be removed. But I've never heard of using shingling a wall with post-it notes. They just layered plain yellow post-it notes from the bottom. They say they stay up very well and are easy to lightly dust.

Or you could make a post-it note mosaic by using many colors of post-it notes.

In other news, I felt like a zombie at work. The work verb of the day was "slogging." It was a particularly sharp version of the mind-numbing repetition of ickiness that is so common at my job. Plus a nice, solvable problem. And a compliment: "I complimented Person A on this idea, and she said it was yours." And birthday cake, birthday bagels, and birthday brownies from a co-worker's celebration. Mostly it was just the slogging, though.

Thanks to one of my readers who shared with me this link to a taco mural (http://mightygirl.net/2006_03_01_archive.html#114177303565949542) done in post-it notes.

I hope you're as amused as I am at the person who keeps commenting how much she dislikes the way Bri and Chad have decorated.

And I love all the post-it note ideas.

(In my other life I'm Becky from Patrick's "Exclusions" group.)

Actually I don't even remember the person you mentioned at all. So I guess I wasn't as amused as you were! There's plenty of amusement to be found, though.

Thanks for the introduction!
