10 Charming Radiator Covers

sfgirlbybay
I love the radiators in my apartment. They're antique, ornate, and original to the house. They heat my apartment well in the winter and they add a nice grounding splash of black. It can be a bit tricky to decorate around them. They're sorta like permanent pieces of furniture that can't be moved around when I rearrange. I want to incorporate them into my decor as much as possible. Putting a shelf on the top of a radiator not only makes it part of the room, but also adds extra storage space for books, plants, and other items.

This radiator shelf is now an accessory spot for jewelry. I'd add a big mirror over the radiator.

 Adding a shelf to this bedside radiator transforms it into a nightstand.

I love the little vignette on this radiator shelf - small boxes and a pretty flower.

 I'm always a fan of antlers. I love how the white of the radiator, picture frame,
skull, lamp, and bottle all contrast with the soft gray wall. So vintage-lovely.

This radiator shelf gives the feel of a fireplace mantle with the big 
mirror hung overhead, sconces, and picture frames.

I like that this radiator cover is a slab of marble rather than wood.
Perfect for a bathroom.

Stacks of books have a home on this bedside radiator cover.

A mirror, candle, and array of beauty items give this radiator a vanity feel.

Lastly, I love the vintage fan and tiny gold deer on this radiator cover.

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
