Today’s project is another super-simple one. And it may sound a little cheap, but… well, I am!! Haha! We’re currently living in a rented condo where I actually have the freedom to paint the walls but have chosen not to because we really don’t think we’ll be here after our year-lease is up. And I’m NOT wasting money on painting just to have to paint over it with “builder’s beige” again! So upon moving in, I noticed that I just HAD to do something with my kitchen that was just so…. blah.

Enter posterboard. And scrapbook paper. Haha!

I literally duct-taped black posterboard to the wallspace above the cupboards and then cut strips of black and white patterned scrapbook paper to give a little more visual interest and glue-sticked (glue-stuck?) them to the posterboard.

Seriously a little crazy, but the lighting is so dim in there anyway- people can’t tell what it’s made out of! Looks like I painted it!

    I really like this idea. There is so much cute sscrapbook paper out there. And your right it is so high up no one will ever know.

    Thanks for sharing!
