pupa Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Shabby chic, vs modern. Vs French style etc -assuming I am not the only one who keeps changing their mind? Has anyone decorated the walls (paint color or wallpaper) crown molding, chair rail etc onto something other than the wall itself and then installed and uninstalled? If so what did you use and would enjoy seeing examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've done mock ups on card stock pieces cut to fit the wall, but not for all walls in a room... just one so I could get an idea of how it would look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've heard it recommended alot to make your wood or tile or whatever floors on a removable surface-thin cardboard?-so I bet you could do a false wall cover,as long as you attached it in such a way to stay up firmly,but easy to remove...I've used 'tac' putty for temporary hangings,but there' a mini hold wax product-I haven't used it...If it was me,(and I'm new at this!) I'd give my walls a neutral background I liked and attach lightweight railings,mouldings,etc. with the wax or tac.Then add color and patterns to suit your mood/style choice in (removable) window treatments and furnishings. Hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Several folks have recommended making cardstock templates for wall treatments to cover wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybee Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I have one of those American Girls mini room boxes and I love the fact you can change out the walls, ceiling and floors. I like to change it out often and its easy because they use magnets on the back.I would think this is possible as well if you used card stock. Would love to see what you come up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 i use acid free cardstock to make my floors/walls/ceilings on, for the same purpose: what if I change my mind? No pics available here, but it works great. If I ever do change my mind, it is dead easy to give a room a totally different look. And the main structure remains unaltered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 forgot: i use 2mm thick cardboard and that just holds each other up, if well fitted, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 You can also use poster putty or min-hold or doublesided tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
