A useful way to add a personal touch to the rooms in your home is to decorate your walls with letters. You may choose a theme with one letter such as the letter of your last name, a combination of letters to spell something such as your child's name or a random array of letters that suits your decorative tastes. Regardless of the room you choose, there are a number of ways to use letters for your wall décor. Does this Spark an idea?

Put Posters Up Without Ruining Paint
A few products used to attach posters to walls, like thumbtacks or putty, damage the paint. When the poster is removed the wall has to be touched up or repainted. A two-sided adhesive tape works best for hanging posters without ruining the paint job. The type of paint sheen on the wall will determine the strength of adhesive. There are low-, medium- and high-strength adhesive tapes. A low adhesive can be used on flat and eggshell paints, medium-strength adhesives will work on satin paint, and a high-strength adhesive can be used on semi-gloss or high gloss.

Hang Wall Pennants
Show your team spirit by proudly displaying wall pennants of your favorite teams on a bedroom or den wall. As you collect wall pennants for hanging, hang them in a way that will not damage the wall or the material of the pennants. When you use a special poster adhesive, you can easily rearrange the pennants as you add more and even remove them whenever you desire without damaging any surfaces. Does this Spark an idea?
Frame a Wall Along a Beam
A large beam across a room can give a room an open and airy feeling, but there may come a time when you want to enclose that open space by adding a wall. Framing a wall is not an especially difficult task for a handy homeowner, but you do need to draw up a plan and show it to your municipal building officials and get their approval before you proceed. They may also want to examine the work after the wall is complete. Does this Spark an idea?
