DECORATING IDEAS

-STACK BOOKS TO MAKE END TABLES

-FILL A CORNER WITH CHEAP AND/OR FREE CATTAILS, REEDS, BRANCHES, OR TING-TING.

-ADD A MIRROR TO THE END OF A HALLWAY. YOUR HOUSE WILL APPEAR TO DOUBLE IN SIZE AND REFLECT MORE LIGHT INTO THE ROOM.

-TINY STUFF ANIMALS CAN BE DISPLAYED IN A ROOM WITH STRAIGHT PINS. MAKE A BORDER AROUND THE TOP OF YOUR WALL BY TACKING THE BEANIES. ALL SORTS OF WALL DESIGNS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH THIS TECHNIQUE.

-TRY TO KEEP ALL YOUR FAMILY PICTURES IN A HALLWAY. I EMBRACE DIFFERENT STYLES OF FRAMES AND STAGGER TO HOLD AS MANY ON MY WALL AS POSSIBLE. THIS IDEA IS GREAT FOR STAIRWAYS ALSO. GUESTS SEEM TO BE ATTRACTED TO MY HALLS AND VISIT MY PICTURES OFTEN.

-AS A RULE OF THUMB PLACE PICTURES EYE LEVEL. OR KEEP YOUR FOCUS CENTERED WHEN PLACING A DISPLAY.

-USE COSTUME JEWERLY TO ADD STYLE TO YOUR CURTAINS AND DRAPES. ATTACH CLIP ON EARRINGS OR PINS TO TIE BACKS OR EDGES. A NECKLACE WOULD BE A GREAT TIE BACK.

-DOOR ART. FAUX PAINTINGS OR BRILLIANT, FRESH COLOR WILL GIVE A ROOM MORE COMFORT AND STYLE. COVER IN CHALKBOARD PAINT, FREE HAND WITH A BLACK MARKER AND FILL IN WITH DASHES OF COLOR, OR PAINT A SCENE FROM ITALY.
