Bedding: Bold or Serene?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

When it comes to bedding I am historically unable to make a decision.  It’s a fantastic application for prints, pattern and bold color (which I love) but it’s also a great place to keep things simple, crisp and serene. I absolutely love the lowered-blood-pressure-inducing ensemble of a white duvet with subtle embroidered frame border and a couple of great pillows- however- if you have dogs that sleep in bed with you (ahem!) things don’t stay crisp and clean for long.  I’ve been through probably 5 white duvet covers in the last couple years for this reason and a certain someone in this house has said I am not allowed to “try one more time”…. or am I? :)

What’s your preference- bold bedding or simple clean whites?

I ask this question because I am trying to pick bedding for my bedroom.  I have kind of fallen in love with this one by Dwell Studio (amazing agazinst my black wall) but am concerned about busyness.  With the bench done in a light blue small pattern or even a solid velvet , tall  gourd lamps and my fab white and black embroidered shams it could be amazing!

Faux Fur Love

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I am in search of the perfect faux fur vest for fall/winter a la Rachel Zoe.  She even has her own design for QVC that I might investigate seeing as it must be fabulous if she put her name on it I am pissed I missed out on b/c it’s now SOLD OUT. Grrrr.

However, while at my photo shoot yesterday at the Webster showroom at the BDC, there was this MAGNIFICENT faux fur throw that sent me into a bit of a giddy spell. It was perfection, and way out of my budget, but I insisted we find a place for it in a shot or two- despite the photographers obvious dislike of it. Hello, it’s me- pile on the faux fur and zebra!

Anyways, now I am obsessed with finding a gorgeous faux fur throw for my new “neutral” space I hope to create (remember, I’m on a neutral kick).  Fur ads such a great texture to a room when combined with sleek metals, glass, linens, leathers and such. Just look at these spaces with (hopefully faux) fur throws… yummy, right? Especially the first one with my other obsession-black walls!

Picture 45This one is a close second and more realistic since it’s so much cheaper!

Picture 47Pottery Barn even has a few to chose from!

Picture 48This light lynx throw is pretty subtle and lovely too

Thanks to a reader tip, Z Gallerie has two gorgeous ones as well for under $100!
