Submit your decorating ideas to PDN

We want to hear about your unique, daring and inventive home decorating ideas.

Big or small, a nook or an entire room, we want to learn what magic you’ve created in your home.

We’re particularly interested if you’ve taken the old and made it new again – if you’ve found innovative uses for vintage items.

For example, we gleamed this idea from Sunny Side Antique Emporium in Port Townsend – combine a vintage chandelier and birdcage stand, and voila, you have a new, functional hanging lamp.

Send us a rundown – please keep it to a maximum of 150 words – about your successful home decorating adventure, along with a photo that illustrates it.

We want to publish your item in this year’s Peninsula Daily News North Olympic Peninsula “Home Interiors” special section.

E-mail your color photos as JPEGs. At a minimum, the photo image size should be 4×6 inches at about 300 dpi.

In general, a 3-megapixel camera on its highest quality setting produces images we can use.

Photo quality drops on newsprint, so images must be in focus.

E-mail your material to jennifer.veneklasen @peninsuladailynews.com, or “snail mail” it to Jennifer Veneklasen, Special Sections Department, Peninsula Daily News, P.O. Box 1330, Port Angeles, Wash. 98362.

Don’t forget to include your name, full address and day telephone number.

IMPORTANT – the deadline for your submission is Monday, Oct. 1. Don’t delay!

Questions? Please phone Veneklasen at 360-417-7687.

All material submitted, including photos, becomes the property of Peninsula Daily News and will not be returned.

Many thanks!
