Jensen I love the rope light. I think we're going to give that a shot on another wall. I want to see if I can do it in the shape of a lightbulb with the light in the center. Thanks for the sweet idea. For the big wall, I think we are going to put a world map up. Something that is topographic and

Hey Tyler, The folks there mainly stuck printouts and cards onto the canvas - but I think for $8 you can get canvas prints from photobox.com… get the group to send in their artwork - then send a batch to the printers. 10 pieces for under $100 - I imagine you could curate it / have a theme

Alex I have the feeling you just saved me a ton of money. I was actually looking at their site to purchase the paint. I agree with your philosophy on people vs decor. However we need the decor inviting enough that we can seed that section of the space with people. Our bigger challenge is

Hey Aya, Thank you, I really enjoyed these. The Polaroid would be cool, but I could definitely see that getting pricey. I'm really curious about the cards and hangers. You wouldn't by chance have a picture would you? On Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 2:26:35 PM UTC-8, Aya Douba wrote: > > Nice,

Nice, large walls are just amazing, you can do so much with them! In my current coworking space, we have one big wall that we painted in blackboard paint, and we are using soapstone chalk (which is way cleaner than normal chalk, as it doesn't leave dust on your fingers or clothes). In my

Loving the post Alex- we've just redone our diner area (and increased the seating from 3 to 13 in the process- you can't see it all in the pic I've attached) and we've got a lovely grey back wall to do something with. We're still thinking some kind of diagrammatic thing around all the kit
