Desperately seeking style...

Decorating With "Empty" Space

A collection of empty frames on an empty wall decorates the wall without the clutter and without the worry of matching your artwork to your room.

Group together frames of all different sizes, shapes and styles, but keep them all the same color!


Thick white frames on white walls is an elegant, French antique look that I really love. 


 For a more modern look, group flat frames with a more geometric shape.


Try it as a really unique headboard!
Try it with mirrors too!

Damask Decor- my new obsession
 
I am in love with this look.. the shabby chic looking bed, the mirrored accent table, the bold damask accent wall, and the chandeliers.. it's totally my style.

On a budget?  Here's a few tips

For the bed:  garage sales and estate sales! garbage pick if you have to! People throw away furniture all the time that with just a simple coat of white paint can totally transform a piece.

The walls:  Remnants!  See if your local Home Depot,Lowes, or even smaller local shops that sell wallpaper.. have leftovers that they can't sell.  They can hook you up with a sweet discount or sometimes if they're nice, they'll give it away!

The accent table:  Thrift store!  Buy a cheap wood table and paint it!  Home Depot has some really amazing metallic paint.

This dinning room is to die for... (It's Nikki Hilton's)



 
Try damask with color for a really sexy feel! 


Can't commit to such a bold pattern? Try it in small doses..
 Use pieces of damask print in frames as artwork...


or as an elegant table runner.
