Also on Melrose is the rainbows wall at The Paper Bag Princess. The wall features not one but two rainbows – one for whimsical adults and a smaller one for kids. From a distance, it’s easy to assume the rainbows are painted onto the wall, but a closer look reveals that they are actually crocheted. Pro tip: the texture really pops in direct sunlight.
