Twin-spiration!

I feel like I don't see a lot of rooms with twin beds these days, but I love the boutique vibe they give and they can be so fun and playful!

Love the colors and patterns of this guest bedroom by Philip Gorrivan...

Super chic symmetry...


More coral colored walls to love (from
Anne Coyle), and the organic patterned bedspreads add just the right touch...

Ooh, jumbo strawberries! By Sister Parish with Albert Hadley...

The perfect guest nook (by Michael Maher)....

I love how these two twin headboards were combined to make a king size bed. And the upholstered gold frame is so striking against the royal blue graphic background.

Another headboard made from a hainpainted Venetian daybed (by designer Muffie Faith). Love it!

The Epitome of Glamour

Isn't this dressing table designed by Mimi Williams just the epitome of glamour? The mirror, the crystal, the pearls, the antique rollback chair. I love photographs stuck into the side of frames. Modern, not so much, but luxurious, dramatic and chic? Absolutely! It makes me wonder just what life might be like if this was mine....

Celing Scapes...

A friend introduced me to David Wiseman's nature inspired ceilings a while back and I just love his beautiful installations. I am so excited that his collection keeps expanding. Also check out his works in bronze and crystal on his website - amazing and definitely worth a looksy!

Beautiful Vases

I found this vignette in my files and I just love it. The ivory color of the porcelain looks lovely against the coral background, and the vases and collectibles create a beautiful arrangement that create a sense of timelessness.


CoucouMadame's shop on Etsy (by way of Decor8) has some beautiful vintage German porcelain vases and jars that would contribute to a lovely arrangement like this one.
