mistikat OH - Wonderful! Congratulations.
Now I can imagine how it would look on my white painted wall too!

I found the perfect place - now I just need a little bit luck to get my hands on an orange box with Fixations. Will order it next week.

I don't think you will regret it! It really does turn the scarf into a piece of art in the room and I can't wait to try all of mine and see which ones work best. There have also been scarves I liked for their graphics but which didn't work that well on me...this gives me a new opportunity to assess them as decor.

I just picked this up yesterday, SO and I plan to hang it today. I'm so excited!

It looks like to hang it, you need a level, patience, a drill, drywall anchors if applicable, a measuring tape, and some sort of right-angle measure. SO tells me the hard part will be hanging four corners of a square so they are actually a square... he mentioned something about diagonal lines being an easier way to do it.... really not sure but I'll post detailed instructions once we get it up.

My husband just used a ruler and a level. And did the same today at Mistikat's house. Had it up in 10 -15 minutes.

SO is an engineer so hanging something always becomes a big project for us, LOL. It wasn't too bad though.
First, we decided where to hang it and centered it on the wall, since it was going above our bed. We also decided how high up to put it.
Then, we measured and marked to where we thought the four pins should go.
Then, we used a level and a plumb line (string with a weight on the bottom) to make sure that the four corners made a square.
Finally, we drilled and hung!
It took us maybe 30 mins to do, not bad at all. The centering and double-checking really slowed us down but it looks great! Pictures to follow, later tonight.

Ok, here's a pic of mine, we hung a black Astrologie above our bed so we had to put it pretty high up. I'm really happy with it, the scarf just dresses up the whole room!

mistikat, elle tee

I LOVE IT!

elle tee, is your wall lavender or grey colour? I think I want to paint my wall before doing this.

 

[elle tee]

Lyanna, it's grey with lavender undertones, very soothing.

This deserves to be enlarged. How soothing and romantic!

Elle Tee - that is gorgeous!

And this one too. Love the splash of red on a white wall.

Love that - the idea and the scarf!

liness, mistikat and elle tee.. ladies, your wall art looks fantastic!!!!

Have you all seen these fixtures in the store, but with a light behind them, illuminating them? It is STUNNING. I don't know how you'd do it IRL though. They float. They look even more like museum pieces than they already do.

The photos are great, thanks for sharing them, all! I can't wait to get one of these Fixations myself! Love the idea of being able to change the "art"!!
