I've only ever used a door drape (I guess they're technically portieres but I'm a simple girl so door drape works for me) on a closet,but I've always been intrigued by them. I love that they're a little unexpected and work great for softening a doorway and adding texture. Depending on your fabric, of course, they can also add additional color and pattern to the room. Seeing the photo above from Better Homes and Garden's "Wool Projects To Warm Up Your Home" reminded me of the idea, so I decided to do a post on it.
I wanted to include the example below from Better Homes and Garden's "Dress a Door In a Drape" so that you could see how, when hung this way, you still see the kitchen but the drape actually attracts your attention and stops your eye from really focusing on the room beyond.
Have you ever used door drapes? If not, do you like the idea? Where would use this type of treatment in your home?
Did you noticed the dog silhouette art just beyond the drape in the photo at the beginning of this post? It can also be found at bhg.com.
Another great silhouette art example is from Karli at Rocky Bella. She recently created a silhouette art display in her entryway. The cute art that you see below is just one example. Didn't she do a great job? Go to her site to see the whole display and tutorial. More table posts (side/end tables and nightstands) coming next week but I wanted to mix it up a bit in between.
oh. and there's a giveaway here on Monday. :-)

My mother had a freaky clown painting that she painted and hung in my bedroom.
For my friend Willow at Willow Manor , a scene from the Stephan King movie ' IT 'below.
I had nightmares for years after this.
Was this not the scariest ???? Did you see this movie in 1973 in the theater ?
Growing up in South 'Fla Fla' swimming and water skiing is how I spent most of my days. But I ALWAYS WAS THINKING OF THIS!!!!!!
I have an insane fear of the water at night. I was afraid to swim in the pool in my back yard at night.
Even with the pool light on. It was just to eerie.
And the woods.
Well, what could be creepier that being alone in the woods at night and hearing things.....
Have you ever imagined that you saw something go by and it really wasn't there ? Or was it?
You are alone at home....
you open your eyes after rinsing the soap from your hair,
and you see this man leaning on your
shower glass.
I would just drop dead right there.
I can not watch scary movies.
And if I do, I keep my eyes covered for most of the movie, while squeezing your arm until you tell me that it is numb.
It is ridiculous.
Any form of mutilation...EEEEK!
The Grudge
Goats Eyes!!!!!
People think goats are cute....NOT ME!
Aren't the devil's pupils supposed to be slanted in the same way as a goat's?
( I am creepin' myself out)
Anything related to Satanic ' anything ' makes my skin crawl.
Lastly, an ordinary garbage disposal freaks me out. Have you ever dropped something of value down your garbage disposal. Did you reach in and get it? I am terrified that the disposal will go on while my hand is inside and my fingers will..... well, you get the idea. A mini domestic chainsaw massacre right there in my kitchen on a Wednesday morning. Are you afraid to stick your hand down into your garbage disposal ? If none of these things scare you, What does? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX's Happy Haunting !!!!:)

Edited to add to The Nester's Linky Party, The Lettered Cottage Favorites of 2009 and The Inspired Room Best of 2009. Since this is a decorating blog, I do a wide variety of decorating posts, so it was hard to choose just one. It really depends on the person and what they're looking for at the time, but I liked the inspiration in this one and it seemed like others did too...
The post title pretty much sums this up, so I won't chatter on about it. If you're in need of a new coffee table or just looking to mix it up a bit, hopefully this post will provide some inspiration and helpful tips.
A large upholstered or leather ottoman is always an option.
