Creative Decorating Ideas - 5

As you've probably figured out by now, the creative decorating ideas posts are just my sneaky way of being able to post a hodge podge of unrelated ideas. :-) Enjoy...

In this Candice Olson basement family room/art studio design (above) she creates the illusion of light and space with a wall of mirrors flanked by curtains. Unfortunately you can barely see that part of the room, but it's off to the right in the photo. Thanks Lisa!

I like the way Pottery Barn used this folding screen in the corner and accessorized it.


Some of you mentioned using curtains on doors in the comments on yesterday's post. I love this example below, and I also did a post on door drapes a while back if you want to check it out.

These bamboo tiles add great texture behind this bed. It reminds me of when we talked about this reed wall that my friend, Natalie, created for a bedroom vignette at her store. Sara at Turning Stones liked that idea and decided to do it in her bedroom. Click here for her photos and tips on how to do it.

Speaking of completely unrelated things, but something that might help you complete some of your creative decorating ideas sooner than you otherwise might be able to... Did you know that Pottery Barn is having a Dream Room Giveaway and that you can register to win a $5,000 Shopping Spree through Feb 15th?

Have a great weekend!
