Hide the Walls at a Wedding With White Fabric
It is quite common to find a beautiful venue for your wedding only to realize that there are certain finishes or coverings on the walls that are not your style or are completely outdated. An old church may have wood paneling on the walls or a community group may have covered the walls in plaques and memorabilia. Overall, the venue is lovely, but the walls clash with your wedding ambiance. Covering the walls in tulle drapery is a cost effective and simple way to provide an elegant look.
Decorate Preschool Walls
The right classroom environment can play a pivotal role in how well children learn. Wall decorations should provide them with educational, stimulating focal points without becoming distractions for them.

Learn how to decorate the walls of your preschool classroom to stimulate young minds.
