LOOKING FORWARD TO A COOLER
WEEKEND.
IT IS A BIG TREND IN HOME
DECOR, COLLAGE WALLS.
HERE WITH TIPS AND TRICKS,
JENNIFER McDOUGALL WITH LEGACY
HOME STAGING.
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU
HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE SO
TALENTED, AND THIS IS A COLLAGE
WALL, ESSENTIALLY.
>> YES, RIGHT.
SO COLLAGE WALLS ARE VERY
POPULAR.
YOU CAN USE THEM FOR MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS.
YOU CAN INCORPORATE FAMILY
PHOTOS, SPECIAL SAYINGS, QUOTES.
I HAVE SOME EXAMPLES.
YOU PUT IT TOGETHER.
>> YES, I AM.
>> THIS IS WOOD FLOORING OR
LAMINATE NRORG FLOORING THAT
YOU GOT FROM WHERE?
>> FROM A HARDWARE STORE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOW
PUTTING WALLS UP WITH LAMINATE
FLOORING SO YOU CAN GET THE
WOOD LOOK.
>> AND THEN WHAT?
>> SO THE COLLAGE WALLS THAT
ARE THE MOST POPULAR RIGHT NOW
ARE THE SCRABBLE ONES.
I'VE ALREADY ASSEMBLED IT SO
WHERE YOU CAN HANG IT WITH TWO
HOOKS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT
30 HOLES IN YOUR WALLS.
SO YOU CAN JUST HANG IT UP ON
YOUR WALL.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY EVEN USE THE
COMMAND STRIPS FOR THESE IF
YOU'RE IN AN APARTMENT AND
DON'T WANT TO PUT HOLES IN YOUR
INDIVIDUALLY WITH COMMAND
STRIPS.
>> WE HAVE THESE, EVEN IFYOU
DON'T HAVE CHILDREN, PEOPLE USE
THEIR PET NAMES.
OR THEY'LL CARILLON SCOUTING
REPORT WORDS LIKE LOVE, HOME,
FAITH.
>> JENNIFER, I'VE GOT TO ASK
YOU ABOUT THPLACEMENT OF THE
SCREWS HERE.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF A COLLAGE
WALL IS THAT YOU CAN SORT OF
INTERCHANGE AND MIX AND WATCH.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO PUT
THESE OSCAR TORRES
SCREWS?
>> I INITIALLY START OFF
PUTTING IT TOGETHER ON THE
FLOOR.
I'LL USE STRING, CUT IT OUT TO
BE THE EXACT SIZE AND THEN I'LL
WORK WITHIN THAT SPACE.
POINT, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
THE SCRABBLE IN THIS CASE, AND
THEN I START WITH MY CORNERS
AND ANGLES AND I TRY TO BALANCE
EVERYTHING, SO I LIKE TO ADD
THINGS.
IT GETS VERY RECORDY IF YOU
HAVE A LOT OF SIGNS AND
SAYINGS, SO I'LL PUT SHAPES IN
THERE OR ARROWS.
>> SO YOU HAVE A WHOLE BIN OF
GOODIES HERE.
>> I DO, YES.
>> WHEN YOU'RE CREATING THIS,
STUFF IS GOING TO GO?
>> I DID.
WHEN I LAY IT OUT ON THE
GROUND, I'LL TRY DIFFERENT
THINGS AND I'LL TAKE FORECAST
AND THEN THAT WAY I CAN GO BACK
THROUGH AND I REMEMBER HOW IT
WAS LAID OUT.
>> HOW IS THAT RIGHT THERE?
>> GREAT.
>> I HAVE IT FOR A DIFFERENT
PLACE, BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE
GOOD.
DON'T BE ALARMED.
I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL.
THE STUFF HANGING HERE, DID YOU
ALSO MAKE THIS?
>> I HAVE VENDORS.
MY STORE IS FULL OF VENDORS
DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> THIS IS AWESOME.
>> YES, THEY ARE VERY, VERY
TALENTED.
>> SO YOU MIX AND MATCH, PUT UP
WHAT YOU LIKE.
SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE ON THIS
TABLE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE SURE
WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME.
OH, YOU HAVE A NICE SET OF
ANGEL WINGS.
>> THAT CAME OUT OF MY HOUSE.
COLLAGE WALLS ARE A COMBINATION
OF THINGS YOU ALREADY OWN.
>> OH, YEAH, I JUST A BUNCH OF
ANGEL WINGS HANGING AROUND AT
MY HOUSE.
SO WHAT YOU GOT HERE?
>> THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON PIECES.
SINCE PEOPLE LIKE TO ORDER WITH
ALL OF THE BIRTHDAYS FOR PEOPLE
IN THEIR FAMILY, PEOPLE LIKE
THE NUMBERS ON THEIR COLLAGE
WALLS, AND THAT'S FOR HOW MANY
PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR HOUSE.
>> SO THESE ARE OTHER ITEMS YOU
CAN INCORPORATE.
>> TO INTERCHANGE WITH THE
COLLAGE WALL, YES.
>> ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT,
THIS IS SO COOL, SO THIS IS OUR
EXACT LOCATION OF HOUSTON LIFE.
JENNIFER, THIS IS SUCH A
THOUGHTFUL GIFT.
YOU'RE SUCH A NICE LADY.
IN ADDITION TO THESE COOL IDEAS
THAT YOU HAVE, YOU ALSO HAVE A
>> YES.
WE HAVE STORES IN PEARLAND AND
HUMBLE.
WE DO HOME DECOR AND ALSO
FURNITURE PAINTING.
PICTURES NOW.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'VE TALKED QUITE A BIT ABOUT
ON HOUSTON LIFE, WHERE PEOPLE
MAY HAVE FURNITURE THAT'S
LOOKING A LITTLE TIRED.
>> YES, WE GET A LOT OF
FURNITURE THAT'S MAYBE AN
HEIRLOOM AND THEY WANT TO KEEP
IT IN THE FAMILY BUT THEY DON'T
NECESSARILY WANT TO DISPLAY IT
IN THEIR HOME BECAUSE IT'S NOT
THE MODERN DAY TREND, SO WE CAN
REPAINT IT AND MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE IT'S NEW AND INCORPORATE
IT INTO THEIR HOME AND THEY'LL
ACTUALLY WANT TO DISPLAY THOSE
INHERITED PIECES ANDDISPLAY
THEM INSTEAD OF MUST GET THEM
IN STORAGE.
WE ACTUALLY PAINT PIECES FOR
STOCKED ALL THE TIME.
>> AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE THE
SHOW, I'VE BEENDOING A
PAINTING PROJECT, PAINTING AN
OLD DRESSER IN MY LIVING ROOM.
I WISH I HAD KNOWN YOU TWO
WEEKS AGO.
>> IF YOU ACCOMPLISHED IT IN
TWO WEEKS ON YOUR FIRST TIME,
THAT'S GREA
>> JENNIFER McDOUGALL, THANK
YOU FOR COMING IN.
