My favorite piece of furniture is my black and white toile footstool (below) that my sister gave me for Christmas the year I bought my house. I wanted to repeat this pattern on TV cabinet inserts to create a consistent look in my living room.

I was in luck one day when I went shopping and was given my items in a pretty black and white damask shopping bag. I decided to cut the bag up into squares and attach them to cardboard pieces cut to fit the back of my TV stand.
Cost: $0
Materials: pretty paper, cardboard, tape or glue, scissors
Time: 15 minutes

The damask pattern distracts visitors from looking at the PlayStation2!
