Not the Gwen Stefani kind ( although she does have a great line ), but the all creative ways to use beautiful Japanese Kimono.
I lived in Japan for two years and going to Harajuku was one of my fave things to do. The flea markets are amazing...
Here are a few interesting and inspiring ways to use kimono. I can't wait to use these ideas in the store.
The pic above is probably my #1 fave so far. Twin beds adjoined together to make a king size bed upholstered with amazing vintage kimono. Photo via Domino Mag.
This is a Roberto Cavalli cape (photo via Vogue ). I don't think the fabric is kimono, but this inspires me to look for a thicker kimono fabric and line it in fur for the winter. I think that would be stunning...
Pillows are another obvious way to use this fabric. I never get tired of this idea.
Another one of my favorites is to display the kimono on the wall. A collection grouped on a large wall would be wonderful.
I found these bobbie pins at Puchimaiko. Too cute!
Lots of fun ways to use kimono... too many to count and I'll be searching for more ;)

Pretty! I love the kimono hanging above the sofa - that looks really great!
I created a new blog, and hope you follow me there! http://dolcechic.wordpress.com
I've included a link to your shop on my most recent post!
omg! I Love the room with the white couch and the purple walls with red accents! I Love, love, love it!!!
Wow! The kimono on the wall looks stunning - my hubby brought me back a beautiful silk one from Japan(they're surprisingly heavy) and I've never really known what to do with it, apart from wear it over my silk pyjamas (from another trip to Bali!) - which obviously i don't do every day..!
Thanks for sharing this great idea..:)
In the first season of Gossip Girl, Jenny has a gorgeous vintage kimono hanging behind her bed, in the same way as the photo you posted. Such a great idea for decorating!!
