apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I think this would be pretty in a children's room. I think I saw something like this in Pottery Barn Teen once. It would be easy to customize it yourself.

I love that shower curtain!

I wonder if this would work for my front door. We have no screen, and I can't just leave the door open or bugs will come in. I wonder if it would keep bugs away...

This is a very pretty idea. It might work as a room divider (if you weighed down the ribbons at the bottom somehow so they weren't always flapping around and getting tangled) or in place of a closet door.

I've always found ideas like this pretty in theory, but very My First Apartment(tm) in practice.

I think something like the second photo would be classy, in a monochromatic color scheme.

My cat would have a heart attack!

seems like something my niece would like. she's 4.

My daughters have this in their room, at the windows, and I was thinking of putting something like this together in lieu of closet doors, too... it reminds me of the cloth hangings I saw in Italian doorways last summer -- lets in the breeze and filtered light, but keeps out (most of) the bugs.

This would be lovely with hand dyed silk ribbon, or lace. I want to do this around my bed, now!

word

looks pretty but flimsy. i like my design to have some weight to it.

Unless someone is young, female and single....I doubt this is too male friendly. I should do something like this in my 17 year old son's room just to watch him gasp in horror the first (and last) time he saw it.
