Introducing the "Fake Hang": Hang the item (we'll say it's a mirror)on the wall. Hang the nail cover/button (rodworks.com or Hobby Lobby) above the mirror. Using 1/2 yard of ribbon hang it over the nail cover and secure each end behind the mirror with scotch tape. (no joke!) Take about another yard of your ribbon and tie it around the nail cover and make a bow or just tie it in a simple knot and trim the ends. This method is good for kids rooms or high traffic areas where the mirror may get bumped a lot. There is also a chance of the wood splitting if stapled into the frame. I love, love, LOVE this site and get so many great ideas from you! Thanks! I worked at a home decorating store and we had our own method for hanging items for your walls using ribbon.

I loved how they turned out in the bathroom so now I am tackling the laundry room. I think it is a great way to refresh a room for very little cost!

But, it wasn't my style before at all and now I love it. And he likes it too (if he'd admit it). It looks great!

I also painted a mirror for my daughter's room. It was oval shaped, which proved to be kind of difficult to tape off, however I was able to paint it white and it looks great! That is beautiful!
