Here's a view of our little dining room. Last year, I finally got the pink (faux) silk drapes I'd been dreaming of pairing with warm yellow walls for years. I like a bit of elegance in a dining room, but I like some whimsy, too.
The "Silk" lends the elegance while Tissue Poofs provide that sort-of jaunty element - they're a little unexpected and playful. To make them I followed the simple tutorial found HERE. Martha's just plain smart about these types of things.
I made the poofs around Christmas time and many guests assumed they were part of my holiday decoration - but no, they're quite permanent... as permanent as anything is in my house.
