Cluster of Goodness

While exploring the great blog, Atypical Type A, I came across a post about alternative uses for pallets. While all of the images are beautiful and so interesting, I was quite taken with something else in this photograph -- that cluster of goodness above the bed.  What a unique way to add pizazz to a room.

It looks like there are a few lights in there along with tissue paper pom poms and confetti.  What a fun and easy weekend project this would be.  It doesn't look too complicated and can be easily customized to fit in any color palette and at various levels of sophistication.

spherical lantern

tissue paper pom poms

rice paper daisy

And here's a how-to from Martha Stewart on how to make these tissue paper pom poms yourself:

Perfect for a kids room, a fun dining room, or even specialized for an upcoming party. Have you tried something like this? If so, please let us know. We'd love to see photos!
