She continued, “I just have to repaint the wall.”
The clever mom then added a breathtaking stick-and-peel scene, proudly showing off the end result: a stunning black staircase with a breathtaking waterfall.

What is the shower curtain trend?
ANOTHER trend that is taking social media by storm is the shower curtain trend.
The trend is for people to buy large shower curtains with fun prints, usually of exotic locations, and hang them on the fence or wall in the garden.
The idea is to transform boring gardens into something exciting, and that is exactly what many homeowners have done.
People attached the waterproof fabric to the fence, creating the optical illusion of a sunny paradise island in their backyard.
At the same time, a DIY fan beamed: “Oh my god, that’s beautiful.”
While one woman wrote: “I didn’t expect that. That’s definitely a statement.”
Penny replied: “I can’t miss it. Something completely different.
“I worked on it from 11am to 5pm, with occasional tea breaks and back-killing breaks, but now it’s done.
“The waterfall makes such a difference.”
