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...

I know why the caged bird sings

I was scanning through some old deco mags of mine- in my April section of my shelf and found this Domino issue featuring this lovely, dreamy bed by Kenneth Cobonpue. It was in a house tour of designer/decorator Fawn Galli. This design is spectacular. I would hang little ornaments or my dream catcher in it- maybe weave some ribbon in there- I don't know. It's so exotic it could be in a tree house or a villa in Africa. I don't think it would fit too well in my wee room but I'd make it work. Oh, one can only dream... 

Graphic Material

These are some pretty amazing prints. I love graphic flower prints- especially two-tone. These babies are satin on satin and are perfect additions to dark or light rooms. Plus- it makes it easy if you just want a solid color duvet. You can find these fabulous throw pillows here!

G.l.a.m.o.r.o.u.s

It thought these were clutches when I first saw them. It makes me think of foxy cleopatra or something of that nature. I know so many of my friends who would love these hanging around their rooms. Bling for you bed? Why not?

Metallic Cowgirl...or boy

It you're not all about a classic cowhide but you still want a ranchy theme to you room, than these are for you. They're made by Vivre- who I just found out about. This is a really great statement piece. You pair these with a chocolate brown duvet and a gold night stand and you're golden- you got a great rugged mod look happening!

Saipua Bouquets = love in a room

Now here is a true montage of happiness. Like I 

mentioned a few posts ago, flowers bring life to a room- sometimes even more than people do!

Flowers warm the room up, clear the air and add lovely bursts of color that would ordinarily be too much if it came in the form of a couch or something.

I love these because they are so organic but very much fashionable. These are the ones you see in boutique hotels...

Floral designer, Siapua, who I found on Oh Joy! blog is one talented artist.
