that cloud lamp above the bed is stunning.

looking at all of these colorful spaces makes me realize I could never have a minimalist home.. It just needs to have some warmth and kitsch!

Same here. I love to be surrounded by things....

My apt is books, pics and knick knacks galore and I couldn't live without some bright walls throughout the place.

1karina1, I absolutlely adore that image of the bed with the beautiful lights/art work hanging over it.

That's beautiful - could anyone identify it?

Any one have any idea where to find a gold blanket like that? I LOVEE it! ive looked everywhere and searched the internet far and wide and have not found anything close to it. I love the softness of the gold color. and it looks comfy!

As far as the rest of the bed goes, I am liking these comforters (i dont really like duvets..mine always get messed up and tangled!)

..anthropologie.com

it is the rosette bedding.

.or maybe something like that. I dont want it to be overwhelming. Definitely comfortable and luxurious, though.

Let me know what you think or if you have any recomendations!

Congratulations on your new apartment! i know a few sites that would have bed covers like that, but im in australia so i dont think they would ship overseas i love the gold bed cover its gorgeous. also what if you found one that is a creamy colour but shiny also? it would be close if u cant find the gold cover.

Is there a photo of the comforters you liked at Antropologie? No photos are showing up for me. But I Anthroplogie bedding! I finally splurged on this Anthropologie quilt here.

Congratulations on your new apartment, by the way! Having a new place to decorate is always fun!

There is something wonderful about peering into people's homes. I think some tfs-ers should post pics of their favourite parts of the home or even just pictures of their personal touches. If you manage to get hold of your perfect bed send us a pic meganpharis

Here's some pics from Kim's (blogger of desiretoinspire site) newly decorated bedroom.

I love these kitsch portraits from 60's/70's - does anyone know the artist of this style of painting?


She's made a great feature out of clustering these old cameras together.












This retro fan is adorable - I want one now!

..there is the link for the anthro bedding that i love! its a little pricey considering i am hoping to get nice sheets as well, but oh so gorgeous!

Once everything is set up ill definitely post pics (dont move in till sept 1st.. but preparing for it now!)

I'm currently wanting to overall my bedroom and am inspired by so many contrasting styles - so tempted to cram it all in even though I know it would end up looking a mess. Damn it - I want my own place to give space to all my ideas!

Here are some images I came across today

^^Thanks for sharing those photos 1karina1! You have great taste, I always love seeing the pictures you post.

 

[classicalbang]

karina, I think you are my interior design soulmate. I thoroughly enjoy your posts.

Anybody know any good places for Louis XIV based furniture.
I need sort of vintage, intricatly carved furniture for my new bedroom.
I live in Toronto btw.

Also pics for inspiration would be nice, i've looked but only get modern bedrooms.
Like Ikea-ish rooms.

 

[Meg]

xavier - you might try looking at Sarah Richardson's website for lists of antique/vintage stores she/her studio go to.

I agree with classicalbang - I always love your choices karina. I think when it comes to that sort of jumbled style, the key is finding pieces you love and incorporating them. It wouldn't work to have 4 different styles of lights if you got home and every night you thought 'ugh, there is no symmetry' but when you love everything that is in a room, the confidence of having each item in there shines through.

 

[XavierRaphael]

(L)Meg! Thanks, but I can't find it.
Her products are mostly modern also.

 

[Guessgirl96]

Xavier, have you tried eBay? There's a ton of Louis xiv style furniture

 

[1karina1]

Thanks so much Susanna-Cole and classicalbang for your lovely comments!

And Meg, you make a very good point here

XavierRaphael I was thinking about your dilemma and immediately thought of Graham and Green. They do great French style pieces (among other things), however they are a British company so I don't know if their items would be available to you. But I thought I'd post some images from their Chateau inspired range for the bedroom and post a link for you to explore some more






Also check out Airspace locations Here are homes that are French inspired to look at

I don't decorate as much as I store things.. I like living in an organized mess. I guess once I have my own apartment, it will be different. I do love furniture. Currently I'm looking for an old red velvet chair and some antique frames for my artwall.

Hmm, thank you
What do you suppose I should enter in the search tool?
