Top the hooks with a piece of over-door molding, which you can find at a home center. To create a tufted look, sew covered buttons to the cushion with ribbon, poking both ends through the bottom of the cushion. Pull the ends tight and tie.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIG_EIGhQgGP9NpqkrrOUkcAozEmR8knwhcPc_ruxn_ZjjJJ7cw-Rd1ApQZ8wpMGr_YPnlQQ1qAeWUgBgi0wRIqm0CgNvsIRMknxT4Fc73S-VIIuXL1eKglarz9Ef_asFOneVUIlEZRbE/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIG_EIGhQgGP9NpqkrrOUkcAozEmR8knwhcPc_ruxn_ZjjJJ7cw-Rd1ApQZ8wpMGr_YPnlQQ1qAeWUgBgi0wRIqm0CgNvsIRMknxT4Fc73S-VIIuXL1eKglarz9Ef_asFOneVUIlEZRbE/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Window of Opportunity</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an elegant headboard like this one by spraying two shutters with two coats of primer and 2 coats of metallic paint, then finishing with two coats of sealant. Allow the shutters to dry between coats. Measure the inside of each panel and cut fabric to fit each opening, adding 1/2 inch on all sides. Place batting inside the panel to cover the entire area. Cover with a piece of fabric and attach to batting along the edges with hot glue. Secure the corners and along the top with a staple gun. Use ribbon as a trim to finish. Repeat for each panel.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMfZoCWmp1-6ZwXdYOIvzwCuz7PmecVUe2HxQKNoTccN_jh7YA03jrwHFM_2G9qEKYpwIW9g-3aDMiNiXHynqtoutaauwh8YQCU9Qollce4SH9-JEbMiMurw3tK-PtAiy5PUge4CLizM/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMfZoCWmp1-6ZwXdYOIvzwCuz7PmecVUe2HxQKNoTccN_jh7YA03jrwHFM_2G9qEKYpwIW9g-3aDMiNiXHynqtoutaauwh8YQCU9Qollce4SH9-JEbMiMurw3tK-PtAiy5PUge4CLizM/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Garden Inspiration</span> </b></span></div><br />Bring the serenity of a garden to the bedroom with a headboard fashioned from two trellises. Cut away the ends on one side of each panel so the trellises abut. Secure them together with wood screws. Staple a paper square to the back of each opening. Use hot glue to attach art prints to the front of some of the panels.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwftE0JiYUZedprMGuX9-ondIrVse25E2r5ZrjaavcZLzedO7QAqcW8hro1sukQGfxEN5Araikx9zepTdqpw5hXlj3uS2IecgfvHxWzQsLupfBitbs1TxAIgferlzt2DXfn8XAUpL7tj0/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwftE0JiYUZedprMGuX9-ondIrVse25E2r5ZrjaavcZLzedO7QAqcW8hro1sukQGfxEN5Araikx9zepTdqpw5hXlj3uS2IecgfvHxWzQsLupfBitbs1TxAIgferlzt2DXfn8XAUpL7tj0/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="heading2">Tall Order</span></span></b></div><br />Create a custom headboard that rises to the occasion by covering an inexpensive artist's canvas with fabric. Just pull the fabric tightly across the frame and secure with a staple gun. Then prop the canvas behind your bed -- no power tools required. When it's time to change out your bedding, simply re-cover the canvas with new coordinating fabric for a fresh look<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70qJvC3eJHys_d1KfMHZwRzmsQ7KL9m2qwfGu8ZMRIi1Q3FA_GYS4XNJVVfod_5Arr-ZGeEFJtIljjy1GiDsATmXAp8psNrJkyn8rnGBuvPD5oz4t-mMUKM-30rDpnAtKGRp5DTr6yo4/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70qJvC3eJHys_d1KfMHZwRzmsQ7KL9m2qwfGu8ZMRIi1Q3FA_GYS4XNJVVfod_5Arr-ZGeEFJtIljjy1GiDsATmXAp8psNrJkyn8rnGBuvPD5oz4t-mMUKM-30rDpnAtKGRp5DTr6yo4/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Spreading the Word</span> </b></span></div><br />Make a bold statement with a headboard created from a curtain panel. Use fabric markers of different thicknesses or colors to write favorite quotes, poems, or lyrics on the panel. Hang the creation from a curtain rod using clip rings.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5b80PTeI0UjGMZpMuiozJshP20vNGkFNewShh24qlxXvs0PRLTzh-uMbAEc1knd9Z7El-uks4v2S74Z8rkZKe6a6YprANLIbbBDxCE6LNLcnO6uFN3rV_5Bv2CanQz3YK0QZABPKvbFU/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5b80PTeI0UjGMZpMuiozJshP20vNGkFNewShh24qlxXvs0PRLTzh-uMbAEc1knd9Z7El-uks4v2S74Z8rkZKe6a6YprANLIbbBDxCE6LNLcnO6uFN3rV_5Bv2CanQz3YK0QZABPKvbFU/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Chic Screen</span></b></span></div><br />Cozy up your bedroom by unfolding a fireplace screen and hanging it on the wall behind your bed as a headboard. For an antique look, use spray paint to cover the screen in blue. After it?s dry, dip a sponge in bronze paint and wipe a light coat on the screen. Repeat with copper paint. Finish with a clear spray-on sealant.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VUAculRDm-EAqxAnXqpBtMLt1X7jLUOgK0n41zhe3bXdxJlRapTPlLx-PW_8BnapKwT5wOWipnTi-mksbztmxwxV7iMK9Qa8YgyhJilh0-AyKUqjBToeCSAQjOyCnJmF4UjZhjWQbX8/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VUAculRDm-EAqxAnXqpBtMLt1X7jLUOgK0n41zhe3bXdxJlRapTPlLx-PW_8BnapKwT5wOWipnTi-mksbztmxwxV7iMK9Qa8YgyhJilh0-AyKUqjBToeCSAQjOyCnJmF4UjZhjWQbX8/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Pop of Color</span> </b></span></div><br />Add a splash of interest to a plain metal headboard by draping a panel of pretty fabric over it. Simply cut to size and tuck the ends under the mattress to help it stay in place.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBMQYhQIzl_IEGeP2gQDaR0U3DNO5Ck63_C2LdhPZp2iixZ-bWD31IlpHy8raRP4KHxwCkTbLtDtyDlXi_c_qocWOlHAJmIw8cqYSolGVhgP-s0eBBkZWWJ5P6xuOo25HJK9dN0s23KY/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBMQYhQIzl_IEGeP2gQDaR0U3DNO5Ck63_C2LdhPZp2iixZ-bWD31IlpHy8raRP4KHxwCkTbLtDtyDlXi_c_qocWOlHAJmIw8cqYSolGVhgP-s0eBBkZWWJ5P6xuOo25HJK9dN0s23KY/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Modern Mystery</span></b></span></div><br />No one will suspect such an elegant metal headboard was created from a cheap find at a discount home store. Look for metal scrollwork in interesting motifs. Two panels can be hung together to create a modern headboard. These pieces were covered with two coats of brushed-silver paint to give them a soft, chic look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD8oCiQMSFYM1Gun4tscTQ-M4AVQK0J2TO9eXPy0IlIBeISOzBkkM2_0vWsAqS01M3CG0u2ePwYTCD0eujN5PqcIFWYslUNg39uwQMYJl727jYDBRgZleo7PWS-5RATw7HKYe8zluO-Y/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD8oCiQMSFYM1Gun4tscTQ-M4AVQK0J2TO9eXPy0IlIBeISOzBkkM2_0vWsAqS01M3CG0u2ePwYTCD0eujN5PqcIFWYslUNg39uwQMYJl727jYDBRgZleo7PWS-5RATw7HKYe8zluO-Y/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">  </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Frame It</span></b></span></div><br />Inexpensive photo frames can be found at garage sales or thrift shops and make a magnificent headboard. Remove the glass from the frames and cut batting the same size as the frame back. Cut fabric to size, adding 3 inches on each side. Lay the batting on the frame back and cover it with the fabric, wrapping excess over the back. Pull taut and fasten with duct tape. Insert the back into the frame. Hang three frames side by side for a picture-perfect headboard.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNaHOiCgAOvO_oXqFLbzP9JvwQailSNH-YW1sepf3BlKZEMhDpAldXIN6LjYtzNrafXEZCy2X6_NPrJj5WJzM4BpzBUDSRQiK3vbnEOY3A9OxfFX8GGz0FOKHfayJX360xLZqt5EPPoI/s1600/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNaHOiCgAOvO_oXqFLbzP9JvwQailSNH-YW1sepf3BlKZEMhDpAldXIN6LjYtzNrafXEZCy2X6_NPrJj5WJzM4BpzBUDSRQiK3vbnEOY3A9OxfFX8GGz0FOKHfayJX360xLZqt5EPPoI/s640/Headboard-Projects-design-ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Modern Masterpiece</span></b></span></div><br />Adhesive decals make it easy for anyone to become an artist. Create your own masterpiece by attaching designs to painted foam-core board. Surround the creation with a black metal frame. (We customized our frame with a coat of bronze spray paint.) Finish the look by using ribbon as trim and hot-glue it along the inside border of the frame.<br /><br />

For some of these projects you won't even have to know how to sew. You probably can't replace your furniture whenever a new design style hits. Changing out your curtains gives you the opportunity to give your room a different theme or feeling.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVp_qtMQOa-8PWEf_79FgjmP000QJTP2b57Ipf12Feo7z17kWa-wbwvdIGz4CXmdTEjwFTUID0Wryu6RSfERgTTWL1LANLauCuKgw9qIMUlaTBfqPJkoxtepHP9RQkwuFc8cgnY5N/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVp_qtMQOa-8PWEf_79FgjmP000QJTP2b57Ipf12Feo7z17kWa-wbwvdIGz4CXmdTEjwFTUID0Wryu6RSfERgTTWL1LANLauCuKgw9qIMUlaTBfqPJkoxtepHP9RQkwuFc8cgnY5N/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Flowy and Fabulous</span></b></span></div><br />You can dress up purchased tab-top panels with a bit of trim you attach to the edges. Or get a similar look by making your own panels. You can buy yardage at the fabrics store, but you can also shop for table coverings or linens in the kitchen, bedding, and bath section of your local department store. There you will often find discounted or discontinued fabric items that you can cut up and use as yardage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrFYvIdlXsah6tgpRPN9vhw7iP6e9uFD3sbLa29SD0WfmgIFrj1Cp0SMawrOJEiHj4jomuA229zAgtp7ItXD4XJSg-a_-GBYXw1buxvKu-VwJE8Gwedvoq75NLp3GbGc5ShBVrTtPt/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrFYvIdlXsah6tgpRPN9vhw7iP6e9uFD3sbLa29SD0WfmgIFrj1Cp0SMawrOJEiHj4jomuA229zAgtp7ItXD4XJSg-a_-GBYXw1buxvKu-VwJE8Gwedvoq75NLp3GbGc5ShBVrTtPt/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Thrifty Fun Curtains</span> </b></span></div><br />Save money by using charming vintage tablecloths as window treatments. To make these cafe curtains, cut cloth to size, adding 1/2 inch to each raw edge for the hem. Sew a hem around the raw edges. Stitch or glue loops of ribbon to the top edge to hang the curtains. For a little bit of sparkle, place an adhesive jewel on top of each ribbon loop where it?s attached to the curtain.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCYvvBRlD7Q5LCqr4OKw-ZbNq8-0PuLixGS263zN1WGpjQln9PmrYMPRO4PocAx1JC5cMLzgKSmkVpuzEjN0i_Lul84ceg_AB6pKFLSYzsyHwQJjNzOW3Yq5k2wvtGzgJURL5kHrI/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCYvvBRlD7Q5LCqr4OKw-ZbNq8-0PuLixGS263zN1WGpjQln9PmrYMPRO4PocAx1JC5cMLzgKSmkVpuzEjN0i_Lul84ceg_AB6pKFLSYzsyHwQJjNzOW3Yq5k2wvtGzgJURL5kHrI/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Give Draperies a Second Chance</span> </b></span></div><br />With a little ingenuity and basic sewing skills, you can get the look of custom-made window treatments for way less. Start with a neutral drapery (maybe one you've had for years but now want to update) and sew a contrasting fabric to the bottom, measuring from the bottom edge of the window to the floor. Cover the seam with beaded trim or ribbon. This idea is great if you recently moved and need to lengthen your old draperies to fit the scale of your new home.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKlxaOwJOIPg-VM6t99v_8nB8q5XEHsigkKquRVlESpEUtDswGDQGn8Ie_whF5O5k01Bb1BBE6KiHKuQNoEZKUNW33Pai1q2YSHCGX4WzXDw-6d1C_CLBpB37zflH_iNMCDJ8g6ng/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKlxaOwJOIPg-VM6t99v_8nB8q5XEHsigkKquRVlESpEUtDswGDQGn8Ie_whF5O5k01Bb1BBE6KiHKuQNoEZKUNW33Pai1q2YSHCGX4WzXDw-6d1C_CLBpB37zflH_iNMCDJ8g6ng/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Pretty Prints</span> </b></span></div><br />If dressing your window calls for more than one layer -- for decor as well as for privacy -- then lucky you. Take this opportunity to personalize a purchased shade using paint. You can cut out a pattern, use a stencil, or try a freehand design with paints in different shades for a personal style statement.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsv9WOS-gl_Reb3D3rV9jTlwFnPbuAuN7poMW4tbpPUNTST2tn8nOipgp_Y4NfxM-J0jzQgEFIu6N4j2wU0mr6WztGDFkL1_kL4bWg-J_LB5JQNmLiUsdQ_WG8qZLi0KnX-V8HdKIb/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsv9WOS-gl_Reb3D3rV9jTlwFnPbuAuN7poMW4tbpPUNTST2tn8nOipgp_Y4NfxM-J0jzQgEFIu6N4j2wU0mr6WztGDFkL1_kL4bWg-J_LB5JQNmLiUsdQ_WG8qZLi0KnX-V8HdKIb/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Dressed-Up Curtain Panels</span></b></span></div><br />A cottage-style room would look amazing with windows dressed in these flirty curtain panels.

For a more luxurious look, hang the panels low enough to pool slightly on the ground. A versatile bonus? Choosing neutral sheers allows you to switch the curtains from one room to another as the redecorating mood strikes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTfSOR6D7ySLyb-N16WLrnniYI_98DEWrKcaUoDrV2g4zb3Nx0qhwp9W5s88NNrWOVBy01LBpCv5tN5fIiFhyxn2rrZjsYrCPOsWSzb37Q84TkUDUfkmw0ltcxCK3T5g4UYw_jLzND/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTfSOR6D7ySLyb-N16WLrnniYI_98DEWrKcaUoDrV2g4zb3Nx0qhwp9W5s88NNrWOVBy01LBpCv5tN5fIiFhyxn2rrZjsYrCPOsWSzb37Q84TkUDUfkmw0ltcxCK3T5g4UYw_jLzND/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Go Subtle with Pattern</span></b></span></div><br />Get away with daring patterned window treatments by choosing a muted color palette, like these canary- and burnt-yellow shades. The tone-on-tone style will get noticed but won't distract from the flashier pieces in the room that you've invested more money and thought into, such as a rug or sofa.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Gg8ZRvqPwF3eC6YR895kZAODIqs13IMjcLWkSnd2Xu-n1f-c4hERj5jwMYPLH-vKecHXOUgP_-kBxnC6r4VUGJr9WAhmA3bPIMuA1JPdkvCiP7uWwG_lEpFjs8HDJP0jSMm4Y3H_/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Gg8ZRvqPwF3eC6YR895kZAODIqs13IMjcLWkSnd2Xu-n1f-c4hERj5jwMYPLH-vKecHXOUgP_-kBxnC6r4VUGJr9WAhmA3bPIMuA1JPdkvCiP7uWwG_lEpFjs8HDJP0jSMm4Y3H_/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Accessorize with Tiebacks</span></b></span></div><br />Give drapery panels a makeover with tiebacks for an simple update. An easy-to-make tieback adds a final polish to this window treatment, and also adds a splash of the room?s yellow accent color to the window.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lfsdVjqGbnjd4IjY8HDUidC1GwsHXa0a17gqF4zcv3K9Bvo4VO9AetIfIwvH89mvNkhFwG3QuQEC7RbBU94B5xPfaGmS0-F59TysKZowsi1PQBrwSXl3nIYWMCWClOMjR5qrRNDY/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lfsdVjqGbnjd4IjY8HDUidC1GwsHXa0a17gqF4zcv3K9Bvo4VO9AetIfIwvH89mvNkhFwG3QuQEC7RbBU94B5xPfaGmS0-F59TysKZowsi1PQBrwSXl3nIYWMCWClOMjR5qrRNDY/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Play Up the View</span> </b></span></div><br />Dress up a sunny bank of windows without losing the view with these valances. They're easy enough to stitch up, or simplify the process by using hem tape to finish the edges. You can mount the valances using a tension rod or by wrapping fabric around a small board and securing that to the window frame with screws.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpqxHVxFh1n3BvLtfit3uXt19kG-Jc8-Z2b6tvisWcWwyN4OsdVQFvuEkwwXGshsPk2Cncs_-llnKSt0bpYecdkSCVY9ejqBTUSw-quwbnOjtSpbBEcmoZquztgXoVguwZCp3T4mb/s1600/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpqxHVxFh1n3BvLtfit3uXt19kG-Jc8-Z2b6tvisWcWwyN4OsdVQFvuEkwwXGshsPk2Cncs_-llnKSt0bpYecdkSCVY9ejqBTUSw-quwbnOjtSpbBEcmoZquztgXoVguwZCp3T4mb/s640/Window-Treatment-Projects-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Reuse Old Curtains</span></b></span></div><br />Don't toss out curtains you love just because they don't fit your new windows or need to be replaced. Instead, cut and sew them into panel-style window shades with rod pockets. Tension rods hold the shades in place and make them easy to change or remove. This trick also works to make outdated fabrics or drapery styles look trendy again.

But if you're longing for a hue that's not available on store shelves, concoct your own. To create your own custom color of chalk-ready paint, simply combine 1 cup latex paint in your desired shade with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to mix. During application, gently sand the dry layers of paint between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats for best color.

Use chalk to spell out the day's duties.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF3ip00CyRm5I679fVBc2Ua7sU6HpgkDoc4XBf5wmok_-m594hlWyZiDN1RRHqrFO9VaxDm8dZwWW7_4uztqXx_z0BVumY5tdmGIx1vay6kqF7iERE-Eg-mwlMWDBcI4VnqkcaAyO2/s1600/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF3ip00CyRm5I679fVBc2Ua7sU6HpgkDoc4XBf5wmok_-m594hlWyZiDN1RRHqrFO9VaxDm8dZwWW7_4uztqXx_z0BVumY5tdmGIx1vay6kqF7iERE-Eg-mwlMWDBcI4VnqkcaAyO2/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Scheduling Pains</span></b></span></div><br />Transform a six-panel window into a home office calendar to ease your planning pains. Each day of the workweek is assigned a frame, and the sixth makes room for extra notes or magnets. Tape off the wooden frame with painter's tape. To make your calendar magnetic, spray several coats of magnetic spray paint on the front of the glass, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Then paint each pane with chalkboard paint using a paintbrush to edge and a small foam roller for smooth surfaces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUAGNo-KCN0zCE3FedehO55F3ROgCOoamXQRCRY5XM0KHjBZxTjujjISzO3c9q05u58ZJHsGWkFyc3NXxBv6qOoIjrsg3CJnncz6blCmvtCMLWICi2qKxv69o90WgEy4Q8FeuopL5/s1600/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUAGNo-KCN0zCE3FedehO55F3ROgCOoamXQRCRY5XM0KHjBZxTjujjISzO3c9q05u58ZJHsGWkFyc3NXxBv6qOoIjrsg3CJnncz6blCmvtCMLWICi2qKxv69o90WgEy4Q8FeuopL5/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clever Containers</span></b></span></div><br />Add a little erasable oomph to your kitchen canisters with repositionable vinyl stickers that accept chalk marks (check <i>dickblick.com</i> and <i>wallies.com</i> for colorful options). Use a punch to cut out the labels. Remove the paper backing and position the label on the glass or wooden canister.

But if you're longing for a hue that's not available on store shelves, concoct your own. To create your own custom color of chalk-ready paint, simply combine 1 cup latex paint in your desired shade with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to mix. During application, gently sand the dry layers of paint between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats for best color.

Use anchor bolts to secure the headboard to the wall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVt-99FCZXRxYM3juQ3PQSdo64DViczl0EIRsBXZNvWsTiz8xaCOx_8AZbktFJnq3cjEfyuCLkVkYnPyUm0MKXW48H1y4j2VKWUGdguBIn8913rGaBr4LJ9xKyASyaDd-ggKBc02m2/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVt-99FCZXRxYM3juQ3PQSdo64DViczl0EIRsBXZNvWsTiz8xaCOx_8AZbktFJnq3cjEfyuCLkVkYnPyUm0MKXW48H1y4j2VKWUGdguBIn8913rGaBr4LJ9xKyASyaDd-ggKBc02m2/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Decorative Memo Station</strong></span></div><br />Turn a plain bulletin board into a decorative accessory that's functional, too. Display a bulletin board in a stylish frame  try a chunky black frame for modern decor or gilded molding to fit more traditional style. Then add a decorative wall decal on the cork to dress up the memo board.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGPd4bBfmYTYUzjGZppVlSntgh7Dn8XaKNlI5vUO_3dJciogRKvvde1Yow7peIeq7Wyjq6VSnmp3F6eOdCGtdNP_yjpl6CH0xNRHAdSL8_MHcbop9ZCKpYFaP6-tJIHbJyaJGSUBk/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGPd4bBfmYTYUzjGZppVlSntgh7Dn8XaKNlI5vUO_3dJciogRKvvde1Yow7peIeq7Wyjq6VSnmp3F6eOdCGtdNP_yjpl6CH0xNRHAdSL8_MHcbop9ZCKpYFaP6-tJIHbJyaJGSUBk/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Unexpected Bookcase</strong></span></div><br />Turn a nonfunctioning fireplace into a practical and pretty storage space by outfitting it with shelves. Measure the opening and build a plywood insert to fit snugly inside. Cut shelves to fit across. Then paint the pieces and wallpaper the back of the insert. Screw the shelves in place and set the insert in the firebox.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpKnqmG3W6_Oo982D9UXVymxuIsPp-sEcU8DCX6OwUjIDC6WK5VVuC9xA1FzLKvDu_c4GQQv2jd6G7AOoS_8OJnqCjYxFgdG5JS1yTnRS6eX0SCjSPh_Ts0jASaI-d8TgCD9tMYtyy/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpKnqmG3W6_Oo982D9UXVymxuIsPp-sEcU8DCX6OwUjIDC6WK5VVuC9xA1FzLKvDu_c4GQQv2jd6G7AOoS_8OJnqCjYxFgdG5JS1yTnRS6eX0SCjSPh_Ts0jASaI-d8TgCD9tMYtyy/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Furniture Facelift</strong></span></div><br />Turn a tired piece of furniture into a new treasure. Search flea markets and garage sales for old furniture with good bones. This charming desk was originally a vanity table. After the mirror was removed, the table was sanded, primed, and painted. Pretty papers decoupaged onto the drawer fronts and new knobs add decorative character.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWUrj2ZMs_JbkD91vw4Exv7JhiPOVYqQ7vtIkFnGCVVATbL-GqBs8whRMYoL5TRC3YrLtUidZFx3kAGLePAh3fGm9ih4WwcJvrs7yhHEa6tjcMfR05jWALuBnVHutIwqY86cf64j2/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWUrj2ZMs_JbkD91vw4Exv7JhiPOVYqQ7vtIkFnGCVVATbL-GqBs8whRMYoL5TRC3YrLtUidZFx3kAGLePAh3fGm9ih4WwcJvrs7yhHEa6tjcMfR05jWALuBnVHutIwqY86cf64j2/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Creative Dining Display</strong></span></div><br />Think outside the box. In the dining room, try this creative alternative for a standard hutch or china cabinet. Hang a pair of bookcases horizontally on the wall, then slide a third on the floor below. Display favorite dinnerware and keep serving pieces handy in the cubbies. Install the middle bookcase at counter height so it serves double-duty as a buffet station or bar.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidCTmQMzjXova9jlpuq6HuAgBA4wtd0YEVZK4kLp1BA2pCnmvRaunuWVCtDcMjXefyp8bG-pnqA_TjG_u-bCfcdlqv3VltyllLvZing69dkE637rkqCpgTYxwyFlufvW7dXhNHGCCS/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidCTmQMzjXova9jlpuq6HuAgBA4wtd0YEVZK4kLp1BA2pCnmvRaunuWVCtDcMjXefyp8bG-pnqA_TjG_u-bCfcdlqv3VltyllLvZing69dkE637rkqCpgTYxwyFlufvW7dXhNHGCCS/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Pretty Wall Panels</span></strong></div><br />Finding artwork to make an impact on a large, empty wall can cost a fortune. Instead, make your own for a custom look and fit. Choose sheer curtain panels to coordinate with your room's decor. Paint large stripes on the wall slightly wider than the panels. Mount short curtain rods at the ceiling to hang the curtain panels in front of the stripes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzgl42PdoGs3OtrREZpn__7Ep6U52E5DnMf4JiNVLULhJompkbetJnb0q6FAifclXh2tm21NZmnDNHiqlZWHCMlin2jvxJVt7D6z-D7-5A3tIIre_N70Vs0IPpKg1WDdgazk6eNOy/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzgl42PdoGs3OtrREZpn__7Ep6U52E5DnMf4JiNVLULhJompkbetJnb0q6FAifclXh2tm21NZmnDNHiqlZWHCMlin2jvxJVt7D6z-D7-5A3tIIre_N70Vs0IPpKg1WDdgazk6eNOy/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Easy Access</strong></span></div><br />Save money by repurposing old furniture. A paint job and a new set of casters turned this old bedroom shelving unit into a rolling kitchen cart. Its shelves are perfect for holding linens and dishes. The drawer, with its updated drawer pull, can stash takeout menus.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIyGemFt2sG66dnty9E1f0TrNKQ_q65EadJaJJPTS74nXrwNN9Mm7kQWfkX9kHeWcdzQlrEGtvQyJ4CtL9pOdaJKF2yyP41CPjcxff3JIigpIsh_24DiurSBwBiveWH1WIGIGonBA/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIyGemFt2sG66dnty9E1f0TrNKQ_q65EadJaJJPTS74nXrwNN9Mm7kQWfkX9kHeWcdzQlrEGtvQyJ4CtL9pOdaJKF2yyP41CPjcxff3JIigpIsh_24DiurSBwBiveWH1WIGIGonBA/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Classy Update</strong></span></div><br />Transform a dresser with paint and wallpaper. Chic taupe paint and toile wallpaper highlight this dresser's traditional lines. Play with the position of the wallpaper until you're happy with the design, and then cut the paper to fit the drawer fronts. After painting the dresser, apply the wallpaper; protect it and the painted surfaces with an acrylic sealer .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7dEOQ_1OEC0C_ilrFmwePfIQk231c_fNbb6sLp0FPWvS2K87ZqjQhy-AXTftb9OVzjtbW5mwz6P16GVMvC1CGzH_FVORsfW9M__QPG8sQ8i9GLTovFFIlKfuR-Fw7aCmZl8AzvLEd/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7dEOQ_1OEC0C_ilrFmwePfIQk231c_fNbb6sLp0FPWvS2K87ZqjQhy-AXTftb9OVzjtbW5mwz6P16GVMvC1CGzH_FVORsfW9M__QPG8sQ8i9GLTovFFIlKfuR-Fw7aCmZl8AzvLEd/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Wallpaper Effect</strong></span></div><br />Try this alternative to glue-on wallpaper. Use an oversize stencil to add pattern to your walls. Paint the stencil pattern from floor to ceiling for an overall wallpaper effect. Or stencil below a chair-rail or plate-rail height, or on just one accent wall. A mottled paint finish gives this damask stencil design more dimension and texture.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99c1NFg45lFZ9CEJutRv6Rd75GpCoAujvlfAPZrNG-I_aVBGSPma0ZPW8PQaP4RKn3w9lRFGyC2u7A0ZtEDSaEogPqBf25uun7j6rsdFT42kusWRhlMhGU8h1dt0bXAaj0XZQgl3o/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99c1NFg45lFZ9CEJutRv6Rd75GpCoAujvlfAPZrNG-I_aVBGSPma0ZPW8PQaP4RKn3w9lRFGyC2u7A0ZtEDSaEogPqBf25uun7j6rsdFT42kusWRhlMhGU8h1dt0bXAaj0XZQgl3o/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Easy to Assemble Table</strong></span></div><br />Whip up a one of a kind side table in a jiffy. Choose an oversize decorative serving tray pick up a trendy one from a home decor store or repurpose a vintage flea market find. With a dab of construction adhesive, glue the tray to the top of an adjustable-height stool for a handy table you can raise and lower.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YG5rx2w4thYFh4iOB0zoYvq4PzgR1GJjuMN8Gu6cb3mS27pkuK6bIZQjs_IPKpuuV9ekBwVWdkflAm9142UeAQ7k95AjgIhiT3Dcd7mz1mE4ZTXCOiJgbpkabDYR3nrTeIs9aARK/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YG5rx2w4thYFh4iOB0zoYvq4PzgR1GJjuMN8Gu6cb3mS27pkuK6bIZQjs_IPKpuuV9ekBwVWdkflAm9142UeAQ7k95AjgIhiT3Dcd7mz1mE4ZTXCOiJgbpkabDYR3nrTeIs9aARK/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Make an Entrance</strong></span></div><br />Transform a simple doorway into a pretty passage. Hang curtains in a standard doorway to add a soft, decorative touch to a room. For a sophisticated finish, top the curtains with a classic valance made from an architectural pediment. Paint the pediment and add wooden rope trim, if desired, for a traditional accent. Then screw hooks into the back of the valance to hang a tension rod for the panels, and screw the valance to the doorway molding.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgPQckFtDP6GMBCjVUGhV0j9gkS_qr62z436n-Z1K-EqykHZRpzB6YQ4bj5hhzxIBZLLEwXu_ZxaDbNXe9pE0X1u_AfaFh-Grwzee0q9xINhWGux2qt5huE3_CM-Pn1ePKzQX0_OD/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgPQckFtDP6GMBCjVUGhV0j9gkS_qr62z436n-Z1K-EqykHZRpzB6YQ4bj5hhzxIBZLLEwXu_ZxaDbNXe9pE0X1u_AfaFh-Grwzee0q9xINhWGux2qt5huE3_CM-Pn1ePKzQX0_OD/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Easy Artwork</strong></span></div><br />Artwork doesn't have to be expensive or hard to find to be pretty and special. Gather a handful of floating frames to hang on a wall in an abstract arrangement. Fill the frames with beautiful letterpress cards, your grandmother's handkerchiefs, or anything that strikes your fancy and complements your decor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AUMXDxt2iv6iaAwnFUfDtEeSK2jB3tx108mPQx3dcpVHebyWMstj52pw8g6lAKyeoOnp88aZBWidH9pT-WmxVuXDOo_4h8jPj_KLwwHkR56rEyG_CTMG_r9e69I833BS4ALq-KmT/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AUMXDxt2iv6iaAwnFUfDtEeSK2jB3tx108mPQx3dcpVHebyWMstj52pw8g6lAKyeoOnp88aZBWidH9pT-WmxVuXDOo_4h8jPj_KLwwHkR56rEyG_CTMG_r9e69I833BS4ALq-KmT/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Find the Bright Side</strong></span></div><br />Don't let the inside of a wood-stained bookcase or hutch keep beautiful display pieces in the dark. Show off the contents and lighten the decorative mood of the entire room by painting the shelves' interior backing a lively color. Add even more personality by wallpapering the inside with a fun pattern.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrNY1gTNQhRKTEQGOi0uOk_x2RRLawMhSXe87uLbBfB1zIFl1NQmevD24qkFuus0ULFQLHrBs7nBT7YKx9rCsX2BwOwtik0jYcNKdJ2W5I8WzfjXl0T2dG_yPJxV5Ub8mtIZqxCPR/s1600/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrNY1gTNQhRKTEQGOi0uOk_x2RRLawMhSXe87uLbBfB1zIFl1NQmevD24qkFuus0ULFQLHrBs7nBT7YKx9rCsX2BwOwtik0jYcNKdJ2W5I8WzfjXl0T2dG_yPJxV5Ub8mtIZqxCPR/s640/Fast-Fabulous-Decorating-Projects-2012-ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong>Quick Custom Wainscoting</strong></span></div><br />Add intricate architectural detailing with ease. This elegant wainscoting looks like the result of hours of elaborate work, but it just calls for a visit to a home center. The ready-made PVC latticework panels are mounted on the wall above the baseboard and topped with a chair rail made from 1x4 and 1x2 boards. Screen molding is nailed in place to hide the joints where the panels meet. Paint the raw wood pieces with white paint color-matched to the PVC.
