Creative Concealment: Um, I Can Still See You

Something about this photo just had me in stitches (excuse the hospital screen pun). I don’t know. I actually like the room and think it is charming. And if you need a privacy screen, you just work with what you have. Using a hospital screen is a clever way to divide a room. But if you are trying to conceal YOURSELF, ah, well, you might want to go for a bit more fabric.

Need more ideas on Creative Concealment?

Don’t laugh, it really is one of my decorating “secret weapons”!

    I laughed so hard I thought I was going to burst! Before I even read the heading I was like, “I can still see you in there!” It is hysterical!

    Love it!

    This has me in stitches too!

    and wondering where I could get a frame like this to conceal the elliptical machine in the family room.

    HA! I wonder if he was purposely placed there…perhaps he is a world famous foot model? LOL Thanks for the laugh, much needed.

    I need a clever way to conceal a litter box… And the only place for the box downstairs, so the puppies can’t get to it, is in the front room. HELP! It’s an eyesore when you walk in the room. Any ideas? Something more pretty for a tiffany blue room and cherry wood floors other than the half folding screen that you can buy online? (which will probably topple over…) If I figure it out, which may take me some time, I’ll link to you when I blog about it. LOVE your blog!

    I enjoy this photo! It made me smile especially to see the feet stick out under the screen.

    You Know I’ve always thought it would be fabulous to have an out of the way- little “room” like that- along with dreaming of having an outside shower- just think it would be fun.
    Fun photo-
    Happy Day

    Hi Melissa! That room would actually be very cute in a pool house or something like that. But… I’m not sure I’m sold on the hospital screen. At least they used pretty fabric on it! Now I’m going to read about more creative concealment.

    I love a hospital screen! Have one myself in fact that I bought and never knew where I would put it, and all of a sudden got a house where it was perfect! I have been meaning to cover mine in ticking stripes but not too organised at the mo. Love your blog, will keep reading in my lunc break – or now!
