After I made my bunny canvas, I was looking around the house for somewhere to hang it. I wasn’t having much luck so I came back to this wall. Since the back of the canvas was hollow it actually fit quite nicely over the thermostat and alarm. It was definitely a nice hiding place but I was worried about the thermostat not working properly if it was totally covered up. And then the idea of adding some shelves struck!
Since the canvas is just leaning against the wall, there is still air flow through it and we have had no troubles with the thermostat. Plus the shelves give me a little extra space to decorate for the holidays! I’ll be playing around with it a bit more once the Easter decor comes down and plan on making another photo canvas to take the place of the Easter Bunny.
These little faces are so much cuter than the thermostat, don’t you think? 🙂
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

I love the shelves. I’ve been trying to find similar ones for my office. Where did you buy them?
What a great idea! It looks really great and covers up those necessary things. I would love if you would share this at my link party. http://www.realcoake.com/2013/03/real-family-fun-7.html
Take care,

This is a great idea – and another place to decorate!! Yippeee! I have a thermostat and fan switch in the middle of my landing so may well pinch your idea!! Thanks, J9 x

Love your gallery wall and the simple fix to cover the thermostat!
Hi Jenn, I love your solution! Pretty and fun!
My thermostat is on a short perpendicular wall, so it seems even more “blaring” to me. I have a small Longerberger basket that slips right over it. Problem solved.
Have a blessed Easter!
What a great solution. I wish my hallway was wide enough to do that to it! Cute picture of your boys too!
Great idea Jenn – and it looks so perfect there – you’d never guess it’s hiding anything!
Hugs,
Suzan

I love this idea! I’ve been at a loss with the walls in our apartment since we have a small thermostat in each room. I might just try something like this. We’ll be featuring your idea over at Someday Crafts tomorrow, so pop on over if you have a chance 🙂
