Quick and easy solutions for Pesky Problems and a WINNER!

I love to decorate but one of the challenges I have is art framed with glass fronts.

 

I love them of course but when you put objects in front of them, you get a reflection of yourself unless even when you hold the camera at an angle.

So here’s my ‘quick and easy’ solution.

I draped a cloth napkin over the picture and put clothespins on the sides to hold it. I know I could do better by decorating my clothespins but this is quick and I don’t think most people even notice it.

You can see I have 2 napkins up there right now for dollie backgrounds.

Something else I’ve been doing for years, is making pillow covers for my throw pillows.

 

But lately, I’ve made that simpler (and easier to rip out later if you want to ). I just sewed the sides (not the bottom) and slipped it over the pillow.

I did it in the Fall too.

I made a kind of envelope over my throw pillow using a pretty cloth linen. I sewed the sides and didn’t worry about the back covering the whole pillow.

And one year, I draped plaid napkins on top of some pillows just for the ‘look’ of plaid. The old post is HERE.

Do you take shortcuts like this in your decorating? (or am I the only lazy decorator? lol)

And the WINNER of the tea cup coasters is…
