We've been looking over our friend's collection of old Domino magazines and ran across this inspirational picture. Rebecca posted previously about using books as side tables but our attention was drawn to the window treatments...

Nick Olsen, an amazing designer and blogger for Domino Magazine came up with this great idea for transforming plain, white roller blinds. He takes high gloss black paint and makes an ordinary shade dramatic and classy. You could use the same design and choose a different color paint or choose a different design altogether. We could also see a stencil working nicely on roller blinds (especially if you're like us and not an amazing artist). How about you--do you have roller blinds? Do you incorporate them as is or have you done something similar with your blinds?
