Thank You

Filed under: Customer's Corner, Bedrooms — Tracy @ 4:06 pm

Tracy, Mary and Brian,

Thank you all so much for the wonderful job you did in my son, Jackson’s room. Your creativity and imagination are incredible. The surfboard on the wall was a great idea. He loves his room so much he can’t wait to show it to all his friends. I can’t wait for the next decorating phase. I look forward to the day when my entire house is by “Style On a Shoestring.”

Thanks again,

Heather and Fred Hanover

Magnetic Primer

Filed under: Craft Rooms, Children's Section, New Products, Art, Paint, Bedrooms — Tracy @ 3:17 pm

Want to give your kids free rein to decorate their rooms without the wall looking like something from a swiss cheese factory? Now you can with the creation of a new wall covering that is a magnetic primer, which contains non-toxic iron particles. You’ll need at least two base coats of this special primer under the paint of your choice. The resulting surface will hold magnets, which in turn can hold artwork, including posters. (For best holding power, use broad, flat, or ultra-strong magnets.) Now when your kids change their pictures, either daily or monthly, there won’t be a trail of holes left behind in your newly painted walls. 

Where To Buy:

  • Magic Wall, $13 for 32 ounces, Michaels, www.michaels.com for store locations.
  • Rust-Oleum Magnetic, about $20 for 32 ounces, available this summer at Lowe’s, www.lowes.com for store locations.
  • Krylon magnetic spray paint (good for smaller areas), $11 for 13 ounces, select Ace Hardware stores, www.acehardware.com for store locations.

    Bedding

    Filed under: Bedrooms — Mary @ 7:20 pm

    Does it feel challenging sometimes to any of you to find bedding you love at the stores out there?  I definitely feel challenged by that alot.  I am so excited about a company I have found who makes custom bedding at a great price.  It’s fun to pick out fabrics of all kinds and create a one of a kind look in the bedroom.  If you’re careful and choose some inexpensive fabrics you can create a great look and it’s not out of this world.  There are really some great fabrics out there.
