Друзья называют меня Пушистый хвостик, потому что я выиграла этот титул на лесном конкурсе красоты. Мне нравится, когда всё вокруг красиво. Я очень люблю *оригинально* оформлять домики и норки своих лесных друзей. На пикниках я всегда накрываю на стол и расставляю тарелочки на солнечной лужайке. Всем друзьям нравится!
Это говорит игрушечная белочка. Как тут перевести "оригинально"? Originally имеет другой смысл. Текст для детей, поэтому слова должны быть простыми, как в оригинале. Спасибо.

novel
"I love to think up novel ways to decorate [novel decors for]..."
Just as another option, but I prefer UT4UT's suggestion of "special," because its simplicity better suits your text overall.

But, Natalia, if you chose "special ways," the person who proposed that was UT4UT, not me. I suggested "novel," but I also voted for his "special."

: "Special" is good; the rest of the sentence needs editing, e.g., "I love to think up special decors for the houses and burrows of my forest friends."

in the original way (manner)
Don't you think this variant is possible?

Rachel Douglas
: "to decorate in original ways" is passable, though awkward; to decorate "in the original way" means to change the decor back to how it was before somebody altered it to something else.
