Attention all Interior Designers, House Stagers, DIY enthusiasts, De-Clutter achievers:
Are you a Fan of Antique, Classic, Country, Mid-20th Century, Eclectic styles, like I am?
Hello, I’m quite a “collector” of Family Heirlooms/History, Antiques, Estate Sale, Auctions, Friends.
So it stands to reason that at some point, I would run out of floor space room for all the furniture I’ve acquired. So with my creative mind, I chose to invent a one of a kind, unusual, unique storage solution for my pieces, by hanging the furniture on the wall!
This allows me to easily, multi-purpose, re invent, re purpose, re use, re cycle favorite pieces of furniture to minimize clutter. Hanging furniture on the wall has put some organization back in the house, by using those pieces for storage, and also to display of some of my collections.
And more importantly, no piece of furniture’s integrity is compromised by the techniques used to hang them on the wall.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, there is still enough furniture to cover most (all), the floor space in our home!
But this has been a fun, conversational decorating style that has caught the attention of all guests to our home. If you have any questions, please contact me through this Blog.

You can also make square corners to finish, just double fold the two opposite sides, pin in place, then double fold in the other two sides, pin and place. (not shown)
Finish as you like:
Hand stitching with a blind stitch or a blanket stitch or a stitch you like/prefer.
or
To finish by sewing machine I use the closest stitch I have, available on my Husqvarna/Viking 320 Sewing Machine, to a ‘blanket stitch.’
That stitch, it happens to be a stretch stitch, but I don’t use a stretch needle. I just use the same one I do the Zig Zag Stitch with. (DSCN7191)
