Hide the Uglies

I have a decorating practice that I have been faithfully employing for years.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention, so they say.

And, my need was to only look at pretty things, and to hide ugly things.
Hence: Hide the Uglies.

My husband picks on me for always trying to Hide The Uglies (in an endearing way, of course. What can I say, honey. You married your mother.). Even my contractor was convinced I would make a closet out of a hole in the floor (I would.) if I could.

I just happen to think that Hiding The Uglies brings world peace.

If I tried to show you all of the ways that I Hide The Uglies in my home, this would be a very long post. So, here is just a little sampling:

Hide your office in a closet:

Layer "Hiding The Uglies" by hiding your office stuff in cute baskets that match:

Hide a "playroom" in a closet and a window seat: Voila. A playroom and a media room. Hide it.:
Hide diapers and wipes beneath your bar. Of course.:

Hide your plethora of paperwork in cute baskets in the kitchen: Hide your lotions, potions, and primping gear in baskets in the bedroom:

Hide a bunch-a-stuff (purses, lap desk thingy, giveaways, and stuff I don't want to deal with) behind that chair in your bedroom:
Hide piles of bedtime reading, handcream, lipbalm, and other bedside essentials, behind the headboard:

Just the tip of the iceberg, my friends.

Hiding the Uglies.

Once you start, you can't stop.
