Shoji Screen

Was in Hobby Lobby today just killin' time (so nice to do nothing after this past week of work; that's a post unto itself!). Saw this Shoji screen and didn't think twice about it, but then I saw that one of the paper panels was ripped. Light bulb lights up in head. Went to the manager and he gave the screen to me for $20. The original cost was $70, which I would never have paid. I think I'll rip all the rice paper off and replace the backing with a vintage fabric or wallpaper. I might even spray paint the frame and panes, depending on the fabric I find.

One of the nice things about the screen is that the hinges allow the panels to fold both ways, so there's lots of configurations I can put it into. Now . . . onto the hunt for the fabric/wallpaper.
