I do love it when a plan comes together. What’s even better is when you also have an incredibly talented sister with her own workshop and a trade card for the hardware wholesalers…
For my wedding, I had decided to have a photo booth wall. I’d seen it before on good old Pinterest and I’m lucky enough to have people around me with the creativity and skill to make it happen. Afterwards I got to thinking about how I could have something like this to use within my business. The photo booth wall I had at my own wedding was HUUUGE! And clearly not something I could easily transport around so I needed to re-think the design in a way that meant I could take the wall apart and transport it in sections, and then easily and quickly bolt together once at the location.
And who did I know that could help me with this task? None other than my amazing sister. As a successful upholsterer in London, I knew she would know a thing or two about how we could go about making the wall, so I was delighted when she shared my excitement and enthusiasm for the project. Many phone calls and chats later (I’m pretty sure she never wants to hear me talking endlessly about different wallpaper designs ever again) and we were ready to begin the construction.
So, on a very cold and snowy February day, off we skipped to the wholesalers to get all things needed to construct my wall. I was able to upcycle the frames from the old wall so all that was needed was some MDF, some screws and hinges, wallpaper and paint. I’m quite sure that I was pretty annoying taking pictures of the ENTIRE process. But as a little sister, isn’t it my job to be annoying?!
Here’s how it went down;
Firstly, we gathered our materials…
