Creative Decorating for a Tuesday

Use two (or three) tablerunners horizontally across a table. Gives you a different look and they can double as placemats.

So let's just say that it's Tuesday (because it is :-) ) and you're looking around your house wondering what little thing you could do today to shake up your decorating a bit. Just a little. Not much. Just something fun or different that you may not have tried before. The list of things you could do is actually unending, but here are some ideas...

If you've never layered art on your fireplace mantel, why not try it for a different look?...

If your artwork is too small, make it bigger by attaching a thin piece of painted wood to the back like Just A Girl did for her spring mantel...

cruel world

August Morgan, will be exhibiting at the New York International Gift Fair on January 30. All August Morgan Pillows are constructed from vintage needlework and "recycled" into new pillows with down inserts. No two pillows are alike.

August Morgan's 2010 collection, "It's a Crewel World," is composed of mainly funky crewel pieces from the 1960's and 1970's. It's a Crewel World and we just shop in it!

ethnic pillow round up

hippie style is here to stay.
bohemian style is easy to do.
just throw a bunch of ethnic style pillows on something.
mix and match and mis match.
happy hippie friendly colors.
but try not to do the hippie from hell look. slumdog bordello, ick.
white couches can be boring, until you toss on the ethnic pillows.
even trad rooms look great with an ethnic touch or 2.
every store has something ethnic.

suzanis r the chic hippie thing now,
kilms r kool.
even a folding cot can be hippie glam.
any bed looks cool with an ethnic dash of color.
