This room, which uses
Michael Devine Home fabrics, is quite extravagant. Between the pedestal, chandelier, floor lamps, six different textiles, and floral arrangement, there's a lot going on. Normally, I'd pass over this style of interior design, but I was immediately drawn to its tented drapery.

Sometimes I wonder if there's anything
Danny Seo does that doesn't involve a stroke of genius. He's so unbelievably creative; he never ceases to impress me. Here, in his guest bedroom, he's used durable, machine-washable nylon
flags as drapes, which he hung with café curtain rings, which have clips.

I find something innately romantic with using a valance instead of a full curtain. It's like a sweet ruffle on a pretty dress, and they nicely frame a window that doesn't need to be covered, for privacy's sake, with regular curtains. Only available online, this
Swedish Geo Window Valance ($10) is from Urban Outfitters, and made of cotton.

In case you haven't noticed, it's Spring! Isn't that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!? Yes, it is.

hung fabric panels adjacent to her bedside table "to enclose the bed area so it didn't feel like it was floating between the living room door and the open closet/hall." This
small change successfully delineated bed, giving it a cozy, canopy-bed-like feeling, but is actually a really simple project. It's also a really attractive update; the cherry-blossom pattern of her fabric panel brings an interesting visual element to an otherwise simple room.
