Janet Pizaro on May 11, 2016I think the first thing is are you allowed to make holes in the wall or do you just want to make a pretty background of something leaning on the wall?Helpful Reply

William on May 11, 2016Since you can't drill into the wall, how about using 3M Command hooks. There are all kinds and the stick to walls. You can hang anything you want.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on May 11, 2016Seeing as you can't drill holes I agree that the 3M Command hooks and strips would work best in this case.Helpful Reply

Jean Myles on May 11, 2016Since you said you can't make any holes I would measure the space between the groves and get some wood cut or even dowles and push /hammer them in the groves and then you can nail or screw things to them. ( the wood )You can cut the pieces the whole length or just short . They could be painted the same colour or different bright colours.Hope this helps please share the results.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on May 12, 2016If you want to hang things like bird cages, wind chimes and decorative items, what about getting an old decorative coat rack and hang things from it, altering the heights with cords or ribbon? Sometimes you just can't hang picture!Helpful Reply

Jeannie on May 12, 2016Why not paint either the groove OR the other strip, another color to complement your pillows, etc? Or, repainted it all another, lighter more attractive color?Helpful Reply

Marilynn Joy on May 13, 2016If it were mine ....I'd use the idea of a frame of bamboo....then get 4 pallets ,clean or paint them ...use the underside and stick small plant pots with plants in them ,fix thepallets to the bamboo frame water plants and you have a living wall . usually people give the pallets away,you can use plants that hang or travel .Think of the colors you can have.Plus it will get lush.Helpful Reply

Lynn Palmatier on May 13, 2016Another thought is if you can do it is to hang a tension rod across the top like a shower curtain rod and find a couple of tropical looking inexpensive cloth shower curtains to hang that would coordinate with the theme you are looking for.Helpful Reply
