Creative Workspaces

I was slightly jealous when I came across these workspaces.

decorative windows

One of my favorite ways to update a window is with adhesive film. Adhesive window films makes the room more energy efficient by shading the room and provide a privacy screen that doesn't take up any space. Cost-effective, the film won't break the bank and is cheaper than installing a new window. Some of my favorite films come from a company based out of the UK called Brume. Hardware stores such as Lowe's carries Gila film, an affordable film that's offered in a wide selection of patterns.

Old Shutters? Yes, Please!

 Don't throw away old or tattered shutters, rather repurpose them into decorative accents like artwork or pieces of furniture. Hang them on the wall to use for sorting mail, bills and letters. Installing them over a bed, side-by-side creates a makeshift headboard that is affordable and dramatic. If the shabby chic looks is not your style, add a fresh coat of paint to liven up the shutters. For those who love to garden, add a shutter in the garden to serve as the structure for flowering vines. Remember, don't toss the shutters to the curb; recyle them in an unusual and functional way in the home or garden.
