My New Obsession

Green with

Griffin & Wong

On Tuesday, one of my favorite bloggers Lindsay from The Pursuit of Style posted about Room & Board's Architecture bed. Random thought..... It is interesting that many of my absolute favorite bloggers are also DC based. Aesthetic Oiseau is another fave. Also, best wishes to Jenny of Little Green Notebook for a full and speedy recovery.

At any rate, I adore canopy beds - I have two in my home and would love more! I can't stop thinking about the architectural boldness of this bed and all the crazy good colors. Unfortunately, in searching the web, all the rooms so far using this bed are deadly dull. Lindsay suggested the bed paired with Chinoiserie wallpaper and white bedding and I couldn't agree more. (Her favorite would be the kelly green bed with turquoise blue Chinoiserie wallpaper).

Here are some of my ideas on fantasy pairings. And trust me, you will start seeing this bed popping up in shelter magazines and design blogs everywhere.

One Room Challenge Chinoiserie Series


Fellow DC blogger Lindsay from The Pursuit of Style took a very beige and boring stairwell in her rental and turned it into Palm Beach Chinoiserie Chic with paint, a fabulous vintage palm frond chandelier, and a gallery wall. I love the chandelier - those light bulbs are a great touch and the gallery wall with two of the prints framed in gold bamboo - my "go to" choice for framing also. The last painting is an abstract that will be added soon - you know how I love abstract art with Chinoiserie. Isn't the wall color similar to the mint green I used in my kitchen? I think this color is getting hot. Now go check out her entryway over at Sadie + Stella - it is fabulous! BTW, Sadie + Stella's reveal from the One Room Challenge will be featured here tomorrow.
