Doors in Unexpected Places

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

At Home Arkansas Photo Rett Peek

I always love seeing things used in ways that they weren't originally intended to be used, and the doors in this post are a great example of that.

What makes this particular image even better is that the beautiful color on this barn door is original...

I think these are probably actually shutters, not doors, but...

Those of you who have been in blogland for any amount of time probably have this concept down, but just a reminder to always keep your mind open when looking at anything. You know what it is, but what could it become?

Another reminder that the Pattern Inspiration Linky Party is this Wednesday, October 13th! I took some photos of a room makeover this weekend that I'll be sharing at some point in the next few weeks, and it got me thinking about circles and dots. I think that's what my pattern inspiration post will be about on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to seeing what patterns/shapes inspire you!

Creative Decorating Ideas for Bedrooms

This definitely wouldn't work in every bedroom, in fact probably not most, but (when it does) floating the bed is an interesting idea...

Rethink Design shows how they made a headboard for their bedroom using a template they created and a gold Sharpie (on Rate My Space)...

Make a nightstand from an old column...

Homeowner Debbie Rowson used glass and shells strung on fishing line to create a unique wall hanging over this bed.

Chests, Shelves, A Headboard and Mirrors

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

I'm sure that's one of the more creative post titles you've ever seen, isn't it? :-)

I'm still debating as to whether I would actually ever do this or not, but of course I like the fact that it's different and creative. Using two chests to the sides behind the sofa rather than a sofa table behind and end tables on the sides? What do you think? (image from CR Laine)

I wanted to include this image in my shelf inspiration post, but couldn't find it at the time. Isn't it interesting the way they created these shelves to follow the curve of the window? (image from BHG.com)

If you have an awkward corner in your bedroom, this idea from BHG.com might work for you. Rather than ignoring the corner, they maximized the space by creating a corner headboard storage unit. They've included reading-light wall sconces and electrical outlets, and the plug-ins are close at hand for alarm clocks, cell phone chargers, etc.

I know many of you have seen this already, but for those of you who haven't - Jenny at Pearl Street Interiors hung two inexpensive unframed IKEA mirrors (love the shape!) over the plain sheet mirror in her parent's bathroom using 3M hanging strips. I love the idea and the dimension that it adds, don't you? To see the rest of this makeover, click here...

This isn't really a mirror, but I like the shape of this Ghost Mirror from Country Living. Template and tutorial here.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend...

Just a hodge podge of shelf inspiration today that I had saved and thought you might want to see. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

A shelf across a window (how amazing is the window?!!!)...

These custom bookshelves from BHG.com were created by raising up ready-to-assemble cabinets, adding custom doors and topping with a bridge to make them look like built-ins...

Built-in shelves around the doorway...

I like the way Style at Home editor Erin McLaughlin utilized this wall space in her small home...

Putting a bookcase on this wall was a great solution to utilize this akward space and move the furniture away from the wall...

If you're short on display space, how about using your windows as a shelf? (obviously you don't want to go crazy with this idea or it could get pretty cluttered, but I think the way they've displayed the artwork in this room works)...

A wall of shelves makes a statement...

These shelves at diyideas.com were made from drawers...

How about this staggered display shelf from BHG.com?...

BHG.com says, "A recessed nook is the perfect place to show off your favorite art and display your collections. Remove a section of drywall to reveal a 4- to 8-inch-deep niche between wall studs. Consult a contractor to make sure it's safe to remove any horizontal bracing elements. Then add shelves"...

A clever idea and great use of space to add the shelf/desk at the end of these bunkbeds...

We've seen variations of this idea before, but I still love the idea of utilizing the space underneath the stairs...

In a small bathroom without much storage or room to set things, a shelf above the sink can be a perfect solution. BHG.com shows you how to make this one...

Set-in shelves above the tub are another way to gain storage and display space in your bathroom...

If your shelves are less than organized and you want to hide the clutter when company comes, Real Simple suggests adding some sliding panels...
