I watch a lot of #thesimsupply and James is always coming up with inventive ways to use decor items. I love trying to make new things out of the decor.
Here is an example. Using the Vintage Glamour bedroom furniture, I made an entertainment center.
If you like doing things like this, post your pics here.

I also use the large gold framed portraits a lot with other paintings. Some will fit in front of the portraits, giving you a new picture in that frame.
For example this "conversation chair":
The bed/desk combination (not my own idea, I saw it on this forum somewhere):
Or the laundry room with "storage space" in the tall wall cabinets from Spa Day:
And I love using the Kids Room Stuff furniture everywhere, so I made a TV/bookstand in the kitchen (this one is without MOO - may have used it for the paintings above it though):
I do often use MOO for grouping sim-made pictures together:
That IS awesome! I'm gonna try that! Right now I just take the pool ground lights and raise them up until they disappear in the umbrella. I also put one on the table surrounding the umbrella pole.
I'm currently creating a school, and the gymnasium looked weird without bleachers, so I created some using the height tool and MOO.
Oh wow. Those bleachers are an amazing idea. Very cool.
I moveobjects'd the sink into the half wall and up slightly so the basin was fully visible and I moveobjects'd the toilet into the wall and added the little light as a pretend flush. The bath didn't need move objects and they are all fully functional.
I put half walls around a really nice CC shower.
I used the console tables from dine out and spa day to make nice headboards because we just can't get enough beds.
I scaled up 2 lamps and the rug. The real gem though is I used the dining tables from dine out with spa day end tables and put them together. (either side of the bed).
Same thing here with the tables and some of my cc shelves (indiscreet plug lol).
I used the high tables from Dine Out with a basegame dresser to get the same effect. Then I combined one of the Spa Day mirrors with the clock from kids room to hide the patterns. And finally, I added a 1x1 "ambient wall light" from the debug catalog behind the mirror to make it look like it was backlit.
That might have been me:
I also do things like making new sculptures from old ones...
Building things from debug items, like this igloo from ice cubes...
And repotting plants...
All my creations are CC free.
Some great ideas here. Bookmarked so I can refer back to here when I'm decorating.

Like I have in my current kitchen (extra cupboards by Madhox at MTS, clutter by too many to remember)
But I'm currently building a shelving/desk/dresser area in the kids room.
After grabbing a room with usable bunkbeds by lisi_ja from the gallery and adding all my furniture etc, deleting the room furniture aside from the bunkbeds. I just cannot get them to work by building my own!

This is a great thread @Inna Minnit
@jeepjeepcat how did you get the bunk bed to work?
Ok, as I said in my post I could not for the life of me get it to work myself (I'm doing something wrong but haven't figured out what yet. The beds are saved from The spacious Family Starter by @lisi_ja . It's on the gallery I've looked it up to make sure I have the house name correct. I basically plonked it on a lot. Saved the room to my gallery after deleting all but the beds/ladder etc and then plonked it in my build. All I did was add the coolala? lights behind the headboards with moo and decorate the rest of the room keeping the beds the same and this didn't break anything. I'm going to continue trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong on a new save game tonight. Hopefully my brain isn't too fried (ill 3 year old) to work it out!

but it's a small shelf moo'd under the end to close the gap and the bed is just floating (luckily it's a wooden base so it looks okay). I'm wondering if it's the choice of bed, I can get it working with the base game ones, I guess it's back to the drawing board (and another look at that video!).
