DIY Room Divider

This clever room divider is from Anne and Todd's Gropius Meets Victorian House Tour in Jamaica Plain. We love the clean, graphic look of this divider which they made from...

Old vinyl LPs! Initially they tried painting the records but weren't satisfied with the results so they resorted to contact paper. We've seen the divider close-up and the contact paper does NOT look like contact paper - it looks really finished and polished. We like that this room divider allows you to peek through the two spaces it divides - living room and tv space. Perfect repurposing!

I saw something very similar in the window display of a GAP store a few years back...

I love it! It's something I'm definitely going to copy in my home.

I've long had the idea to do something like this (with various materials -- plastic placemats, for instance).

I'm happy to see someone pull it off so successfully -- gives me more confidence to try it.

I really like this, however I would drop it down a level and attach it with cup hooks, rather than attaching the circle directly to the soffit. The extra length gained would complete the divider effect.

I have to say - I am not a fan. However, three cheers for ingenuity.
