Tory Burch’s gorgeously appointed pool house in her East Hampton home. Lattice details line the molding of this green and white space via AD. I love how they incorporated the gold accents and wall hangings. Stunning deep blue and white lattice hallway. Speaking of Bahamas, breezy green and white hallways in lattice work wonders via House Beautiful. Miles Redd designs this Bahama bedroom in perfect blue and white upholstery. Notice how they have lattice columns on the walls. It is one of those elements of a home you work around, not just work with. Lattice enjoy this Monday!Ī delight of blue and white and lattice delight by Jorge Elias. There really is nothing else that can elevate an area without using pricey fabric or flashy stone work. Lattice work is a lasting way to incorporate texture on a home, in a home, and around a home. I think of garden rooms in homes of a greater generation that appreciated bird watching and leisure reading. I think of elegant pool houses and caribbean homes that are sprinkled like sugar along beaches with lattice detail on balconies. For starters, I think of beautiful espaldia climbing up lattice on the side of a home. To complete the arrangement on the photo ledge, for now, I added the ampersand and our L et’s Get Lost print.I don’t know about you, but there are about a million images that come to mind when I think of lattice. The white geometric pattern pops against the bamboo and doesn’t cover up our beautiful focal wall. I like the graphic piece layered behind our family portrait. The screen adds the perfect extra layer to complete the vignette on the picture ledge. I think that is an incredibly good deal for an easy DIY project that leaves you with a large unique piece of wall decor. The resulting screen is about 30″ tall by 24″ wide and only about 1/4″ thick. The wreath forms are about $1 each, so I estimate this project cost about $20.
It enhanced the I-found-this-cool- scrap-of-lattice-and-used-it-for-wall-decor look I was going for. While painting, a couple of the corner pieces fell off (not a lot of contact area for the glue). I painted a final coat with paint and a brush.) (It was actually a bit more involved since both cans of white spray paint I had on hand, barely had enough for a coat each. We used painter’s tape to hold the sticks in place while the glue dried. We cut the popsicle sticks in half and glued them to the wreaths. To reinforce the screen we used popsicle sticks glued on the back at each joint. The side now facing up was the backside of our screen. Once the glue was dry we flipped the entire screen over and removed the wax paper. For the edges, I cut several wreath forms in half and one in quarters to create the outside border. I wanted this piece to look more like a found piece of lattice. We used painters tape to tape them together while the glue dried. A straight edge was handy for getting them lined up straight. We laid them out on wax paper and put a dab of glue where ever a wreath came into contact with another wreath. To create the screen, I glued the wreaths together with wood glue where they meet. It just seems proper to include them on any project that involves glue, popsicle sticks, and sanding blocks. I enlisted my boys (5 and 3 years old) to help with this project. I figured they could make a pretty cool screen when arranged together in rows. I had a bunch of these small MDF craft rings just waiting to be used up. I always have a random assortment of craft supplies lying around, either leftover from past projects or from projects I never completed. And, I wanted it white…to pop off the bamboo wall. I also wanted something more decorative with a pattern. Another canvas or frame would be too bulky. I needed something really thin to layer behind it. The canvas photo on the family room picture ledge looks a little flat all by itself. Despite my DIY picture ledge only being a mere 3.5″ deep with a 2″ thick gallery wrap canvas as the centerpiece, I still want to create a layered look. I mean, if you aren’t going to layer pieces one on top of another, you might as well just skip the ledge and hang them flat on the wall. I love picture ledges with a layered, collected look.
