Bedrooms: SMART new looks.

Oh the Joy of  restful, refreshing sleep! Or simply enjoying some time alone: to lie quietly in a stylish,, artfully designed bedroom: to and gather one's thoughts,,maybe do a little reading -- or pinning, blogging or both -- or perhaps a quick nap...High School Graduation for my son was late this afternoon, but with arriving early, the post-ceremonial picture-taking and meeting and greeting, followed by a multi-family dinner out..It was an 81/2 hour affair!

 I enjoyed myself a great deal, felt the pangs of separation getting stronger, pushed back a few tears and a few glasses of wine..I am exhausted! No wonder bedrooms come to mind!

These bedrooms include some very smart takes on a lot of popular design ideas, including theruse of beams, industrial elements, natural fiber, toile, and mirrored furniture. Take a look!

Designer Tracy Reese's bedroom:

Renovated and designed by Mike + Trina Burke of A Country Farmhouse:

And then some Dandy scenes from 1st Dibs:

So smart, quite inspiring, and it's just fun to see a sophisticated edge to the styles


Have a great day!

A Fine Mix: Design, Mixed Up ~

This last image really wins for me. But they are all great:

High, low, rustic, luxurious, mid-century, Louis XVI, bohemian, 

traditional, classic, modern...and so on. 

When it's not just shoved together, when It Works, the results are

...wow...a Very fine mix.

Have a very fine day!

Curtains, and Making Smart Design

Curtains.  The ones I found are great. Wonderful detail. Billowing silks, rustic cotton on branches, bold color...They are Glamour, Style, Statement, Privacy, Definition, and...

oh, yeah...there's more, but let's not forget the obvious: light control.

Well, forget light control for a sec:

Okay; light, privacy, style etc...

Sometimes (and only sometimes) I wish I could sew....

Have a great day!
