Stubborn

Oh, there is so much inspiration out there.
I saw a vintage frame on the ceiling over a chandelier with vintage music in it on Internet last fall. I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I can't. A friend of mine recently saw it in a magazine too.
It was something I knew I had to do in Anna's room. A simple frame with vintage paper. Easy, right?
Wrong. First, I have spent the last six months trying to find the perfect vintage frame for the project, that was under ten dollars. Not an easy thing to do.
I finally found one this weekend.

Here it is, NOT above the chandelier.


I loved it, it was the right price, my husband went to put it up as soon as the paint on it was dry. We thought liquid nails would hold it up there.
We were wrong.
It came crashing down, pulled the chandelier down, broke all the bulbs and we spent an hour cleaning up all the glass that was sprinkled in my daughters room.
We were afraid to screw it into the ceiling because the frame would probably crack, and my husband informed me that you can not just screw something into a ceiling near lights.
I guess that makes sense.

The ceiling was a mess. We thought we could scrape everything off, then paint the whole darn ceiling.

Not something I wanted to do.
I really, really wanted a frame above that light.

Then I remembered that we had some leftover styrofoam moulding from our room!

That saved the day!

I was being really stubborn. I really loved this idea!

So, I guess the vintage frame will make a good chalkboard, right?

I got the vintage paper from Etsy, and stuck it on there with double stick tape.

Do any of you know a safe way to get a frame to stay up on a ceiling?

I want to do the same thing in our room.
