Doesn’t that look like a party in a bowl?

I personally haven’t seen anything in this style in anyone’s home yet, but it must be the latest craze if Restoration Hardware says so.. Well, if you think that chair is impressive… Check this out!.I happen to have an entire deconstructed wall!.

And I’ve been holding out on you.My bedroom wall has been sporting this of-the-moment look for about 8 months now..How selfish of me to keep all this stunning inspiration for myself.. Don’t worry.

I’m not under the false impression that these pictures actually make things any better, they just have no where else to go right now.Our bedroom is a bit of a dumping ground for odds and ends lately.. As becoming as this look is, I’m actually hoping this wall will become a little.

deconstructed sometime in the near future.. And then maybe a little re-construction wouldn’t hurt either.When I was growing up, my mom used to love shopping at thrift stores, and still does.

I, on the other hand, used to not love it so much.He also cut a  basic frame for the thin MDF out of some 1×4 MDF boards with a routed out inside edge for the thin MDF to sit in.. Because another decorative frame made from molding would be mitred right on top of this stronger structural frame, he made the joint a little fancy to make the whole thing have more structural integrity.. I’m pretty sure he must have invented this joint, but it does the trick!

From the side, it looks like a regular mitre, but it’s got the extra little right angled bit that adds extra strength..The decorative molding goes right over top!.

It looks super simple but of course we know that there’s a little bit of DIY magic hiding hiding under that basic molding!.At the bottom, a basic 2×2 piece of lumber allowed him to create a little “sill” for the chalk to sit on.
