For those occasions when I don't feel like having the spines of Wii cases as my living room decor, I simply close the curtains.
All it took was 1 tension rod and 2 lace panels (which have been hemmed by Shellie since I took this photo) and voila! Rows of movies and games concealed.
Ever have one of those seasons where you keep rearranging the furniture? I have been playing with the living room a lot and just can't seem to get it right. I'll be sure to photograph and share soon!

I love this, but what I'm really noticing is the window wall hanging behind the couch. Love this!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'm in the midst of trying to figure out a good way to cover my skylight in this hot weather. I'm thinking curtain rods on either end and some hemmed fabric stretched from rod to rod. Does that make sense??? Of course, I would have to work at my sewing machine and its too hot because of the skylight.

Simple. Classic. GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't rearrange the furniture in the tiny house - it only really fits in it's designated spot. So I change up the little things.
Wishing you a lovely day, Elyse!
I like this idea! I have been thinking about putting some fabric curtains on the bookshelf in my daughters room/guest room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to hide those hard-edged technology items we all have.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Beautiful! Can't wait to see what else you're doing in the livingroom.
ReplyDeleteThats very pretty and your room looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteI agree Elyse that does look much
ReplyDeletebetter. That is a good idea.":O)
What a great idea! Stinkin' wii games. Those are "displayed" in my living room, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteso pretty xox

What a great idea! I should do this in our bedroom. We have all of the dvds behind our door but a little curtain would certainly hide it all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandra
Yes! Lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteI already mentioned that I don't do furniture well. I think I have a spatial disorder! ♥
The curtain is a great idea! Nothing worse than the spines of dvd's or games showing. (in my loud opinion..lol)
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! Now do you have a way to hold them back so the boys don't pull them down? That would happen here so if you have any suggestions I'd love them. I may use this for my big shelf!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
thats the best and prettiest way to hide stuff!
ReplyDeleteElyse, I so can relate, 3 kids,& hubby trying to find ways to hide, dolls,football-cheer gear, work boots, i pods- But honestly, what is most needing hiding, is all of my projects-fabrics-magazines..Yikes...
ReplyDeleteLove the Gingham cupcake holders- did you see the polka dot ones, too.. Love them.. I make mini cupcakes for my shoppe on weekends- i wish they had mini ones...
And so lucky are you- i love those cupcake toppers...

and looks so much prettier!!! Rachaelxo
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI found myself chuckling while reading your post! You, not getting it right! You whose sweet home is in magazines- All I can say is your silly! Your house is just delish wonderfully perfect no matter how it is arranged!!
ReplyDeleteJust came home from a Jr High camp- Gosh so hot- sitting here in my house trying to cool off and not think about how my house arrangements are- just too pooped!

Oh yes, love the curtain idea!
Lovely idea my friend. xoxoxoox Happy Friday to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty solution!
ReplyDeleteThe best part about hanging these, is the lack of HOLES from the rods. Love the look, and also how easy it is. Have a great weekend! Sandi
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, and it makes the window appear larger. Your living room is lovely.
ReplyDeleteKaren
That truly is a beautiful way to hide all the mess that we all have. Best wishes for a wonderful weekend. :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the lace curtains hiding things! Practical and pretty at the same time. I can't stop moving things around. But usually it's smaller things.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
What a pretty room, and the couch color is awesome..
ReplyDeleteLace can change and do wonders for a room... like yours... Very Nice!
Have a Great Day*

I love this, Elyse! The perfect solution!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie
My question is...when doesn't one want to hide the spines of Wii game cases! LOL! Your solution is much prettier than mine.
ReplyDeleteerin :)
Oh, just perfect! Congrats on your win. I just love Maureen's items. She was the person who introduced me to ribbon loop and asked me to sell it (back when she was sewing). Small world, huh?
ReplyDeleteHow's the weather? We are sweltering in Stowe, VT with no air conditioning. I never thought this NY turned southern gal would pray for snow. :-)
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, I love the colour of your sofa with the lace. Lovely to visit your blog, Catherine x

Fab-u-lace! {sorry, I am so hot I don't know what I'm saying!}
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Yes I get like that sometimes too. I love this idea. Simple and yet it creates such a different feeling within the room.
ReplyDeleteYep...I'm having one of those seasons too...I just can't stop moving things around either ;o)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Elyse! Love it, I sure wish I had a way to move furniture... mine is where it is and there's no place to move it! Have a blessed day my friend! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteLooks very pretty Elyse! I LOVE lace anywhere! Very clever!

CLAUDIA; Why don't you just put the same window darkening material we use in cars for the window? You can buy it at Wal Mart and it is not expensive. Most importantly if you think you can get to the window safely it will look nicer. Connie
ReplyDeleteThe article you have shared here very awesome. I really like and appreciated your work. I read deeply your article, the points you have mentioned in this article are useful.
