Diana, as her Inside Out tour indicates, is innovative at every turn...
Close-Up: Faux Stained Glass
Diana's contractor salvaged french doors and refinished them. The glass panes were a little too revealing for her bedroom, so for color and privacy, Diana added vellum sheets cut to fit.
At night, the doors look like solid bursts of color, and during the day, the panes become transparent, changing with increasing sunlight.
Cheap, easy, utilitarian, cute!

Ha! I've been to this apartment. It's super cute! She sold it a while ago, IIRC.

Vellum: what a wonderful idea! How did she get it to stick on?

I did this in the bathroom of my last (French windows with little panes) and stuck the vellum up with doublestick tape. Not the best solution, perhaps, but it worked.

The colours and the placement of the colours look, to me, just like the doors that separate Maria's bedroom from the apartment she shares with her family in the film version of West Side Story.
Or maybe I've seen that movie a few too many times....

Nora Rocket, that's what I think every time I see these doors too. That door has been a big influence on my decorating style to this day. When I get my own house, that will be done somewhere in it. Perhaps the bathroom windows, so I don't have to have curtains at all?
