White Velvet & Unwhite Fur

Velvet Grommet Window Panels, at West Elm

Ooooooh, Velvet Grommet curtains in white (Ivory, really). They're so luxurious and decadent and ON SALE.

But then I remember that I've got a few of these guys at home...

Cardboard's Bird & Mille

...so my wintry white windowscape would end up looking something like this:

Springy curtains

Fredrika fabric, available at IKEA

Spring was flirting with us this past Sunday. The temps were in the mid 50s, I cracked up a bunch of windows around my apartment and I wore a jean jacket to the grocery store. Life felt good and rosy! But spring got cold feet (literally) and ran away. I'm trying to find ways to tempt her back. Perhaps she'd like some fun, tulip patterned curtains that she can run her springy breezes through! I'd gladly make a set just to have her come back.

Bonus Bone: Decorative window adhesive

Adhesive Film, Sample Set by Emma Jeffs



Adhesive Film, White Moroccan Tile by Emma Jeffs



Adhesive Film, White Orba by Emma Jeffs

Do you need a little privacy, but don't want to bother with curtains, blinds or shades? This decorative window adhesive by Emma Jeffs is a great arty alternative. I think it is especially perfect for a bathroom window. The adhesive film is available in six different designs: Moroccan Tile, Flowers & Lace, Pixels, Orba, Adelphi, and Clover. The installation and removal process sound easy as pie. Simply add water and adhere to a window. The film gives total privacy while letting full light shine through! Easy to remove and no residue.

The sample pack is an inexpensive option if you aren't 100% sure you want this look or if you can't afford a roll that costs nearly $100. You receive a set of all six designs each measuring 4" x 8" for only $6. You could order a few sets and create a crazy kaleidoscope patterned window mixing all the designs together.

For these reasons, I, Porcelain, declare this a Design Boner.
