Decorating With Folding Screens

Folding screens are versatile pieces that can fill in a lot of gaps...either in a room that needs partitioning or used up against a wall. This Designers Eye Wall Room Divider from Design Public creates a focal point in this image, but it could also be used as a headboard, in an entryway, or between two rooms.

Dona Living pieces are exceptional! I have the ottoman and table combination they offer. There's a store in DC that carries it. They have some other Dona stuff on their site - www.VastuDC.com.

Where is the oval white dining room table from. Checked out the Design Public site, but it wasn't on there...
