Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

…or tuck it away in one of these amazing chicken wire catch-alls.

Yes, the “chicken wire in salvaged frame picture holder/memo board/earring holder/token pinterest project” DIY has been floating around the internet, roughly, since the beginning of time. It’s like the little black dress of the crafty world.

Despite its epic dilution, I can’t help loving the rustically upcycled treatment, especially when the rough honeycomb mesh is applied to the entire span of a wall.

This thrifty storage solution is a great idea for renters, teachers, dorm residents – or anyone – wanting to dress their walls, but not technically allowed to paint or wallpaper their space. 

I just probably like this concept so much because I’d finally have a legitimate reason to ferret away all of the wedding invitations, ticket stubs and life’s tiny trinkets that I’ve been known to hoard, without feeling like so much of a pack rat.

Jackson, don’t throw away that receipt from The Dutch, it’s for the chicken wire wall!
