Good morning friends. It is a wonderful spring day in Cape Town and so far no wind!! So, we are making the best of it while it lasts.
Do you decorate with screens? Or do you have a wonderful antique that has been handed down to you? In that case I am seriously envious. Screens are wonderful and can add another dimension to a room lacking in architectural detail. Some screens are carved elaborately, or have the most divine fabric covering them. I love the pattern, texture and depth that screens adds to a room. In days gone by they were mostly functional and oh so beautiful, whilst being functional, but today we seem to use them mostly for eye candy....
I only have one screen in my home, which I bought at a closing down sale. It was tucked away behind a pile of boxes and I spotted it on my way to the ladies room! Sometimes the call of nature can be most profitable!!
My screen has had a tour of duty all over my house and currently it is presiding over my formal lounge.

It brings interest to an otherwise dull corner and is a focal point when entering the room.
I love the detail...
It shows off my favourite urn perfectly...
...as well as the urn shaped lamp...
Here are a few screens that I found on my Pinterest boards...
Hard to choose a favourite.... I can surely find a space for each one, trust me! I simply love the one used as a head board in the first picture to the left and the pink room's screen behind the bed is exquisite!
I was very fortunate to find my screen at a bargain basement price tucked away behind boxes to be thrown out! The shop owner was quite astonished, believe me and I got a further discount for locating it! So it was a win win for both of us!
Live Well
