Sweet Sleep

So I'm on the hunt for a bed and some new fabulous bedding. But I am a little bit all over the place with style ideas. Here are a few pretties I've been staring at lately.

 

I would have such sweet dreams in this California desert bedding. 

(I think this one's my favorite right now)

 This feels like waking up in a garden.

Peacock blue walls with a nailhead trimmed headboard are the perfect background for this grey and cream chevron bedding. Love it. I'd do a more antique-y bedside table and one big piece of art over the bed, if it were my room.

This one looks feminine, dramatic, but super cuddley and comfortable. 

The velvet headboards against those dark walls is so striking!

 This tangerine and coral color combination on white bead board walls is so fresh and the headboard and duvet are a bit preppy. I like how they added that great piece of art and those vintage brass fixtures for a little more personality.

I know I've posted this room before but it's just so unique I have to post it again. I LOVE that David Hicks La Fiorentina fabric on the bedskirt and canopy! But I also love the grasscloth wallpaper, cowhide rug, and modern art. Putting a desk on one side of the bed instead of a matching nightstand is a great change too. Personally, I'm not wild about poster beds, so I'd modify with a cool wooden or simple upholstered headboard.

Shopping

I must have just fallen off the turnip truck or something... did y'all know that Vera Wang has a home and clothing collection at Kohl's!? And it's GOOD! Check it out:

 I LOVE this bedding. The entire set. Love it.

Cute outfits too:

Seriously... I should not have knocked Kohl's for so long. I mean, if Vera's there, I'm there.

Lovely Things

Hello. Just wanted to stop by (while I have internet) and leave notes about things I'm liking right now:

Our new Portland friend, Janelle, introduced me to her Penguin. Yes, this penguin machine turns flat tap water into sparkling Perrier-esque water! How delightful! Add a little lime or mint? Perfection.

Tasty interior photos from Apartment Therapy's 2009 Small Cool Contest Winners. See photos here.

Everyone in Portland has raised beds. I'm in love. We also saw these at TONS of vineyards in Napa. People grow herbs and fruits and veggies. What a darling way to have a little garden! I could totally manage a garden this size, even in an urban setting. You can buy a kit to build your own, here.


Dwell Studio bedding. I know I'm late to jump on this wagon, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about until I saw a bed made up with this bedding in a charming shop in Portland on Trendy Third called Manor.
