Design Victory

[purejuice]

I have solved virtually all of my intractable design problems by purchasing a roll of grasscloth, white with lime undercurrents:

And a large white plastico picado wedding banner:

Beware very creepy Spanish wedding music spam, but for $14.95 to solve half my design problems, I risked it.

The one shall be shelving paper for the bureau in the Yinka room and also possibly the Morgan le Fay room bureau, if the seafoam polka dot oilcloth thing doesn't work out, and the other shall be screens for the lower half of the windows on the north side of the house, which overlook, about 10 feet away, my neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Roper, always ready for their closeup even as I am not. With the bottom half of the windows screened, I shall be able to raise the blinds during the day and get some sun in here.

Which shall be the shelving paper and which the window screens I have not yet decided. Badabing.

Seriously though, I think the plastico picado is genius. The other only half as nice option are these incredibly expensive but Way Hip Swedish window films, and the even more expensive, but waaaaaaaaaaaay less hip Americano window films from 2Jane.

I did a thing where I found lots of pictures of colorful, beautiful flowers; xeroxed them at Kinko's using their sexy laser printing capacity; and had them put into sheets of clear plastic at the teacher supply store. I use those as my privacy screening where I want sun. The sun shines through the flowers making the colors look pretty and it comes through the plastic - natch. It breaks up the view of what I'm doing and rocks the nature. I have a piclet somewhere a zillion years back. If I can find it I'll post it in another comment.

Here's a link to my gallery of window pics. You can make something Swedish Window Filmish yourself....

there's a company (GILA) which sells removable window films at Lowes. not sure the price point is any better than the Swede ones you link to.

I will prob fool with this at some point for both energy savings and privacy screening... bigger fish to fry first though.
