Light of my Life

Man- I am on a role tonight! In my new place, lighting is completely dependent on the sun. These bedrooms, however, have their own style going. Light is so important (for those of you who follow Feng Shui you know why). Natural light feeds your spirit more than any other kind of natural energy. Though these pictures don't have natural lighting, they do a pretty nice job improvising. The first and last are my favorites. What do you think? 

Color Blocks

Ahhh how lovely color is. I spent so much time as a child around stark, insomnia-inducing white walls and boring brown and beige. These bedrooms here are so incredibly alive with color- so much personality- I love it. If these rooms were people you'd definitely want to be their friend. 

The Big Sleep

If there's one thing I have always loved- it's a gigantic, fluffy bed. The beds in these rooms are the centerpiece- which a lot of people try to avoid. Why? It's a bedroom! Your bed should be your sanctuary where you can sleep, dream, stretch your limbs to the edges and sink into that abyss of fluffy covers and pillows. 

Think Pink

It wasn't until this past year that I started to appreciate the color pink. I always snubbed it cause I'm blonde and blue-eyed and once you add pink to that mix you automatically cross over to the ditzy dark side- at least that's what I've gathered. Not my style. Annnyywayyy- lately I've been obsessed with dark, blue-based hot pinks/magentas- Margarete Russell style. These rooms are gorgeously pink without being sickeningly girly. Now that's some talent.  

New Kids on the Block

I don't know if I'm just behind the times or what but when doing some bedroom searching I stumbled across these insanely beautiful children's rooms. Did you know there are interior decorators specifically for children? I'm not sure if I'm happy for my future kids or just plain jealous. Well, bitterness aside, these bedrooms are amazing and a child's dream.

The New English Rose

So I was reading one of my favorite books of all time, Bergdorf Blondes by the lovely Plum Sykes on the train this morning and I was reading the chapter when Julie and presumably Plum, were in the English Countryside and I pictured the loveliest English home- more importantly, a lovely bedroom.

Decor in England has a very unique look about it. There's a fine line between floral and too much floral and in most of the cases I've seen, England knows those boundaries. It's conservative, romantic, floral and if done correctly-quite fashionable. 

This picture here shows a fantastically bold twist to the typical English-style bedroom. It's not too over the top, but still modern with the darker tones of pink and red. I especially love the pink end chair but I'm always a sucker for bold baroque pieces...
