Serenity Now 4 Amanda

What a wonderful idea Amanda!!
And so timely.

I have had my little gift shop for a bit over1 year now,
and an area has kept alluding me as far as a good solution.
So, maybe you, or some of your readers can help.

This is the 'problem' area.
A long narrow hall i use to display in.

On the left side is an area of shelves, which is

pretty easy to keep a cute display on.
Here is a photo of it now.
Just past there, on the left,
is a little table, and some blank wall over it.
Again, not too much of a challenge..
but maybe could be better.
Then the bathroom door.

Oh, ignore that white shelf on the floor,
I'm still trying to decide where it will go.
Can't have too much sticking out from the wall as it is narrow.
(of course if you have any ideas for it let me know.) =0))

Just past the shelf is another door, and one
right across from it on the other side too.

Here is a shelf at the very end of the hall.
Sort of a mish mash of stuff,
and i just need to do a better job of putting that together.
I can't hang anything above it as there is a
circuit box behind the curtain.

Here is another look down the hall.
There is about a 4' area right before another door.
Another pic hangs on it.
That doorway has a shallow shelf in it.
It is only about 4" deep,
and again, sort of just gets anything that does not go anywhere else.
It is made of rough fence boards, and does not really go anywhere,
but it is what i have so I use it.
It is in front of a hollow core door,
so not easy to hang things on the door either.

And this is the big blank wall just past that doorway shelf.
It is the biggest problem.
Sometimes i have paintings or pictures hanging on it,
but it can get pretty busy, and
they are not best viewed from 1 foot away.

So, there you have it, the problem hall.
mainly need ideas for the little shelf in doorway,
and that big blank wall.

Thanks and blessings,
and be sure to thank Amanda for such a great idea!!!

After I wrote this i had an idea:
I have old windows (shabby sort you know)
that could be put on that wall, and then maybe a picture hung on it.
That would break up that big space.
Or, maybe signs, or, well, I'll just have to
scrounge around and find some cute filler.
Maybe do that instead of trying to use it for a lot of display.
I'll see what i have and show you.
