No-Sew Embroidery

Our simplified approach to couching, which traditionally involves hand-stitching, doesn't require the labor of a needle and thread -- just cording, fabric glue, and a disappearing-ink pen, plus a marker and graph paper to map out a design.

Nothing completes your boudoir like a headboard -- it provides a focal point and makes the whole room more inviting. The store-bought kind can be expensive and bulky, so try this shortcut: Using the lines in a graphic wallpaper as your guide, cut out a silhouette that serves as a virtual headboard.

Bedside Coasters

Give your overnight guests the five-star treatment by setting chilled spring water on their nightstand. Choose a vessel, such as a vase or a large julep cup, that is deep enough to accommodate a small bottle and ice. Place a saucer underneath to collect the condensation and protect the surface of the table.
Bedside Water Glass

Bedside Water Glass

You don't need carafes and matching tumblers to provide overnight guests with water. Simply fill a tall, narrow glass, and cover it with a shorter, wider tumbler to keep out dust. Set the glasses on a small tray on the nightstand to catch any drips. Houseguests can flip over the top glass and pour themselves water or sip directly from the taller glass.
Easy Bedside Table

Easy Bedside Table

If you rarely make use of your serving trays, place one atop a collapsible stand or luggage rack and voila -- an instant bedside table to enjoy every day. Allow room for a second, smaller tray on top, and you can ferry a pitcher of water to your room and still have a spot for all your bedtime essentials.
