I have a half-circle window in my vaulted entryway. It's pretty, but people can see into our second floor from the street. I considered a lot of options for privacy, from frosting the glass to adding shades. But ultimately, I decided to make this intricate faux-stained glass window, and I'm so glad I did! It's so beautiful with the morning light shining through. Plus, it's easy to remove... renters rejoice!

I was storing my necklaces, rings, and bracelets in a jewelry box, but they were always getting tangled up. So I searched my craft room for supplies to make a Jewelry Organizer. An old picture frame, a fat quarter of fabric, a couple of hooks, and some foam packaging became this adorable new hanging organizer. Don't you love it when storage does double duty as home decor?
