practical, and there

are so many looks

you can achieve

Lawson of Rhiannon Lawson Home, the

her family have used in several places

incredibly easy, affordable DIY project

with a big impact, and it’s tons of fun to

decorate and display favorite items,” she

says. Here’s how you can do the same.
