Decorating Tips

Record here some gardening or decorating tips that you have found helpful:
When we couldn't afford to buy book shelves, Larry and I stacked apple boxes, arranged our books in them and I made a series of skirts for the shelves, protecting the books from dust, and decorating the bare wooden boxes.
The skirt idea also helped us enjoy a fairly large vanity in our bedroom in Coban, Guatemala. Larry arranged the board for the table top, using a wooden box at each end. I made a gathered skirt for the table and covered the makeshift frame. The mirror on the wall above this home-made vanity made it appear to be more dignified than it really was!
