Prints Charming

Sorry about the double post yesterday- I was having MAJOR technical issues. Please enter on either post for the Kokoon giveaway and they will count towards the prize!

In other news, I’ve been meaning to blog about this adorable line of soft goods from Bungalow I found in a little shop in Woodstock, Vermont (devastated by the hurricane, so send them your thoughts) called Noushka. From Denmark, but printed in and inspired by India this company produces so many good things! And trust me when I say, in person, the quality is fabulous and the pricing oh-so fair!

Bedding:

Pillows (my addiction):

Tablecloths:

Dishtowels:

Napkins:

Scarves & toiletry bags:

Storage boxes:

If you love anything give Noushka a call at (802) 457-4844 (no site yet) and ask them about ordering! It’ll help support a town in which small businesses are suffering as well.

****And PLEASE be sure to cast your vote (for me, ideally) in the Grange contest! Help send me to Paris, I promise to take tons of blog worthy pictures of the goods at Maison & Objet!! (see a larger pic of my room with sources in my post HERE)

A Chic Country Bedroom

I was so inspired by this image I found on Pinterest (more addictive than chocolate, by the way) and so I decided to create a chic country guest bedroom based on it!

Coastal Cool

I saw this bedroom in a recent Coastal Living and thought “now this is perfect”….except for the price tags on the fabrics used on the bed….and the custom headboard…. so I tried to make a slightly more budget friendly version for you. While it’s not CHEAP, it’s a bit lighter on the wallet- as long as you can get a little DIY.

So for this copy you’ll need a glue gun and hammer- the headboard by Serena & Lily gives you a great shape to follow. a few inches from the edge, hot glue gun 1/2″ grosgrain ribbon following the shape as best you can (not easy- you’ll have to cut and seam in a few places). The hammer in nailheads on top of that every 1/2″ as well.
