samuel treindl’s garderobenbaum.

Equal parts coat rack, fake plant and art installation, wouldn’t Samuel Treindl’s latest piece “Garderobenbaum” look stunning in an entryway? I love!

oh, bedroom love (again).

You’d think with all of the pining I do for my bedroom areas that there are no other rooms in the home (or no work to be done, for that matter!). And although I still have a crazy love for the bedroom I’ve already chosen to inspire ours, I sort of fell in love with another one this morning. And it looks nothing like the other. Well, shoot.

I suppose that’s what guest bedrooms are for, yes?

Anyway, my dear friend Kristen (who is probably the most gorgeous woman you’ll ever meet) at Simply Grove pointed me to this Living Etc. image today, and gracious you guys, is it not AMAZING?

I recognized the wallpaper immediately as a Vivienne Westwood, but what I really love is that patterned bed skirt/mattress frame. Anyone know where I can find that fabric? Of course! The fabric is a Lisa Bengtsson (thanks, Stefan!)

I love the idea of dressing up the bed skirt and frame, rather than the headboard, particularly if your ceilings are low (and yes! mine are!). Why not draw your eye to the floor, rather than the bed height (or lack thereof)?

Anyway, yes. I’m totally rocking this look in the guest bedroom. And then I’ll have two bedrooms so I can go back and forth with where I choose to sleep. Let’s see, shall I sleep in Sweden tonight or Paris?

kilim me softly… part deux.

Remember this post where I declared my love for kilim rugs? Of course you do. Well, my friends at Bellacor have let me choose my very own kilim rug from their fantastic selection (even though I won’t be furnishing the home until, ohhhh, July).

Nice, huh? Want to see what I chose?

I had a realllllly hard time, because I fell in mad love with this, this and this, even though they all have totally different feels.

So, what do you think? Which did I choose?

I’ll tell you in the comment section… ;)
