This inspired my blog all about the home spa, and how I really really wish I had one of these fantastical bathrooms, but, since most of us dont, here are some tips on how to create your own spa style retreat:<br />
<br />
Tip 1: Declutter. Aww, nothing says spa like a countertop full of makeup, hairspray, curling irons, tampons and shaving foam right? Put it away people. Invest in some pretty baskets or canvas bins to hide items away.<br />
<br />
Tip 2: Accessorize with the things you use anyway. Ok, yes, I'm telling you to show it off now, where I just told you to hide it away. Some things are pretty (or simple) enough to have a place in your space that is visible. Get a few glass containers to put cotton balls, Q-tips, bath beads or salts, or pretty soaps in. Make sure the containers you choose are the same shape and size for continuity.<br />
<br />
Tip 3: Add some green. This is one of my favorite things. Living in Colorado, we have some pretty hardy plants that are quite happy here. However, I crave the color and structure of some of the tropical plants that you just cant find in a desert region. The bathroom is a humid enough place most of the time that makes it the perfect environment for one of these beauties. Add an orchid or bromeliad to your space for some lovely color and a gorgeous natural element.<br />
<br />
Tip 4: Ladies this one is for you. When choosing paint colors make sure you go with a color that has the same undertone as your skin. We all have one of these either Yellow, Pink or Blue undertones. If you have pink undertones, dont choose a hue with a blue undertone. You'll thank me when applying your makeup. All you have to do when selecting a paint color is hold it against your skin. We're not looking for a "match" here, just something that complements your skin. A color that is contrasting to your skin tone will reflect off of your face and make makeup application a bit trickier.<br />
<br />

Halogens are great for this kind of space as they have a wide color spectrum and allow the true colors of elements in the space to glow, rather than being masked by a yellow artificial glow. Candles are also a great way to make a room romantic and inviting; and if you're gonna buy them USE THEM. Why worry about not lighting them just so they are pretty. Just make sure you protect the surface underneath them.You can also replace that ugly globe fixture with a chandelier or a pretty pendant, and get rid of those hollywood lights, I dont think there is a spa in the world that has those.<br />
<br />
Tip 6: Skip the hardwoods. Honestly, if you want to use something like a laminate instead of natural hardwoods, go for it, but natural wood will expand and contract with the changes in humidity and it will be a nightmare to maintain. Try bamboo flooring (bamboo is technically a grass not a wood so there are no issues with expanding/contracting.) or go with cork, cork comes in tons of colors, is soft underfoot, absorbs sounds and is a renewable material.<br />

Ok, I know this is tough if you have a tiny bathroom, but if you've got the space, an upholstered piece is a perfect way to make this space more "livable" rather than just "functional." It doesn't have to be big, upholster a pretty bench, or a vanity seat in a fabric that works with your decor. Heres a tip within the tip though, dont use leather in your bathroom, leather + moisture is a no go.<br />

If you have those ugly builder grade acrylic knobs in your bathroom please please please replace them. They are quite possibly the most hideous home decor items ever designed. It is not too expensive to replace your fixtures with something softer, like nickle or (if you have a bit more to spend) a rubbed bronze. Keep all of these finishes the same, this is not the time to go mixing your metals. While you're at it, invest in a large shower head (think the rain heads) these are so spa-esque and can be purchased rather inexpensively.<br />
<br />
Tip 9: Buy some good towels. Do NOT buy those 3$ sale towels you saw in the k-mart circular this weekend. NO NO NO. These have no absorbancy and will just make you irritated when you try to dry off with them; not to mention they are somewhat rough on the skin. Buy some really fluffy towels (which you can also find on sale, just not for 3 bucks) or a bath sheet. Towels are another great way to accessorize your bath. Roll them up, tie off with a pretty ribbon or a piece of rattan and stack them in a basket or on a tray next to your tub.<br />
<br />
Tip 10: Add some sounds. Find a place to hide a sound machine in your bath. Most can be battery powered so you dont have to display them next to an outlet. Put them in a pretty wooden box or tuck away in a canvas bin. Play a calming cd, think babbling brook or waterfall the next time you take a dip in the tub.<br />

Using a bit of logic rather than following this silly rule (that seems to be a major deciding factor for many people when selecting paint colors) will help you create a space that is dynamic. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">You should always consider the other elements in the space. Is the ceiling low? Do you have dark wood moulding? Is your furniture and fabric selection dark? Are the floors dark? Are there windows? How much light do these windows allow in? What kind of lighting are you using in the room? </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now, how you answered these questions will help you decide how to paint your space whether the room is decidedly small or not; if you have some good natural lighting, lighter finishes, and cooler lighting a darker color will definately help to cozy the space up a bit. Here are some excellent uses of darker paint colors:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCatfXo8RA2voeL5V8TJvICMzmLFOjVog3SuMl9Ka9arsxpmhbeYLlIGplXDZpY6sziqOYE9btVvrjJcEXk7a11aPZmHtJ_CShDbrd_1-0w2PqxldFWTEZPTSlX_JtKH9HhAPKJ4PGk5HY/s1600-h/charcoal+walls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCatfXo8RA2voeL5V8TJvICMzmLFOjVog3SuMl9Ka9arsxpmhbeYLlIGplXDZpY6sziqOYE9btVvrjJcEXk7a11aPZmHtJ_CShDbrd_1-0w2PqxldFWTEZPTSlX_JtKH9HhAPKJ4PGk5HY/s320/charcoal+walls.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMBCpERolP1imhe8tVsA-lNsMRHfzuO1QsBcRJafq0CeFl1kjQIIya0h0nO0drJHTg2F7R4I-ka21_19v0oe7VBFh9iYfQksAN8vrztM2Oz7ETlwR29IbqGg5U-edRw5OR2SqS3tvGegiv/s1600-h/patriot+blue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMBCpERolP1imhe8tVsA-lNsMRHfzuO1QsBcRJafq0CeFl1kjQIIya0h0nO0drJHTg2F7R4I-ka21_19v0oe7VBFh9iYfQksAN8vrztM2Oz7ETlwR29IbqGg5U-edRw5OR2SqS3tvGegiv/s320/patriot+blue.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Here are a few other tips to keep you from feeling boxed in with your brave choice of paint color:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Keep the ceiling white or two shades lighter than the walls. yes, many designers think this is a no no, well my friends, they're wrong. If you paint a room a rich espresso color, and you paint the ceiling that color too, you will definately be feeling like the room is caving in around you. While it does help to bridge the gap with a crown moulding to help ease the transition, I recommend adding some crown to a space if your ceiling is low.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ18A2GRaSPGChAB-1uqhifg2qnAFzVzT6gbIJjpdPUkhW6LaKSE9JrDElhfmsG6hBiTwX1HIX-AdFSeWgCzZuzmdi45ma5fbDuA2OrpngdLQZW-vmHbKrXP0BPkXnNRaD2kgAiY9mLNaB/s1600-h/chocolate+brown+room.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ18A2GRaSPGChAB-1uqhifg2qnAFzVzT6gbIJjpdPUkhW6LaKSE9JrDElhfmsG6hBiTwX1HIX-AdFSeWgCzZuzmdi45ma5fbDuA2OrpngdLQZW-vmHbKrXP0BPkXnNRaD2kgAiY9mLNaB/s320/chocolate+brown+room.png" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04Gtwelq7GZkYpNpNf8eEpMjeJ3ZF237V6O3P46HaoHwuJoOC73hXHZscmdUFwfMAyTQZejazGUx6zw9RGkzAdtD4-PTOi8fRXkfwzg82JFarIaaKwFvauLsGMnpmFoefGmIQaDZEV-2E/s1600-h/eggplant+walls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04Gtwelq7GZkYpNpNf8eEpMjeJ3ZF237V6O3P46HaoHwuJoOC73hXHZscmdUFwfMAyTQZejazGUx6zw9RGkzAdtD4-PTOi8fRXkfwzg82JFarIaaKwFvauLsGMnpmFoefGmIQaDZEV-2E/s320/eggplant+walls.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

This is the most famous house in America! Like a living history museum. Each time a new first family moves into the home the first lady works with the white house curator and a designer of their choice to add her own special touches to the home; but heres the thing, how personal can the first lady get when the home is so historically important? In honor of the history of the United States, it is important to keep the homes interior in keeping with its historical significance. Take a peak at some of the images of this ultra traditional home.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Plus they have a reverse image that is completely different, so its like getting 2 pillows in 1. Also, many of these come in several great colors. Like this aqua broderie pillow can also be ordered in beet, grass, lichen, mocha or violet. So pretty in any of the colorways.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Mixing patterns is one way to really make your space unique and individual. The only "rule" to mixing patterns is that they all have some common thread, not EVERYTHING goes together obviously, so use discriminating taste, and your design will sing. Here are some tips to make mixing fabrics easier:<br />
<br />
Pick fabrics with patterns in different scale; if you choose an large medallion print as your inspiration fabric, choose, for example, a wide stripe, small floral and a textured pattern on your other pieces. <br />
<br />
Distribute your weight: dont leave ALL of the patterns on 1 side of the room, this is a sure-fire way to make your space seem imbalanced. Rotate them throughout the room to even it all up. You could use a pattern on pillows,window treatments, a chair, ottoman, rug etc. <br />
Dont mix your color saturations: Keep your hues on the same wavelength, mixing primary colors with pastels will probably not work; I'm not saying its impossible, but very tough to pull off<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJiELhtEgzrSKOHrCsc_e9xFdeSSN2Yms1taJKYUGvcbmrDRdyLRyu_YjC9W0S08qc671spvBU56BSuhzuoWFDR6SNzK-8xrQ6pqey7p7YtkCTGWcNwW7k5e2ZwUfVBRAgMhJcU4DwZnl/s1600-h/modern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJiELhtEgzrSKOHrCsc_e9xFdeSSN2Yms1taJKYUGvcbmrDRdyLRyu_YjC9W0S08qc671spvBU56BSuhzuoWFDR6SNzK-8xrQ6pqey7p7YtkCTGWcNwW7k5e2ZwUfVBRAgMhJcU4DwZnl/s320/modern.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Consider all elements: If you have an oriental rug that you adore, mix fabrics that are not going to compete with this large scale pattern in the room. I would pick textured patterns, and more geometric shapes as opposed to large floral prints, medallions, and paisleys that try to steal all of the attention.<br />
<br />
Think about the materials: I'm talking about the weight and feel of the textile here. Every fabric has a personality some are drama queens, some are sportier, others high society, some have a woodsy feeling, while others are like the southern debutante. I wouldn't go mixing a sporty fabric with the high society fabric. It would seem strange if you had an embroidered silk sitting next to a cotton calico print. Its like the people you surround yourself with, they all share commonalities with your personality and lifestyle, your textile selections should do the same. <br />

Mirrored pieces originated in pre-Roman times but were made famous in 18th century France when eglomise was re-introduced and made popular during the Rococo period. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW-0XEpssPmWscztJZLfa0JPlY0g7y4L-YZp6aY6B1JM9y72WC64B8_Xv3rVFT-rwdlOlx7zOXhIHLqBRiK6RGdfeJbcr6KcK-XGRG9zRmQLnc8OqN4aGYj5xGO-BeZW9wzS-U2-xqW4y6/s1600-h/horchow+mirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW-0XEpssPmWscztJZLfa0JPlY0g7y4L-YZp6aY6B1JM9y72WC64B8_Xv3rVFT-rwdlOlx7zOXhIHLqBRiK6RGdfeJbcr6KcK-XGRG9zRmQLnc8OqN4aGYj5xGO-BeZW9wzS-U2-xqW4y6/s320/horchow+mirror.jpg" /></a>Eglomise is the process in which gold or silver leaf is gilded onto the back of the mirror, the end result looks like this mirror and console.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In the 20th century mirrored pieces were made popular during the 30's and 40's glamour of old hollywood. Today, mirrored pieces can be used in many different styles. Just dont use them in excess, you dont want to live in a fun house. Incorporate 1 piece in a highly visible area; these pieces are show stoppers and should be seen. They can be very affordable as well. Some of my favorites come from <a href="http://www.horchow.com/">horchow</a>, and are a bit pricey, however, with a little research you you can snag some of the pieces shown for between 300-800 dollars. Like these beauties below found at <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/">pottery barn</a>, <a href="http://www.overstock.com/">overstock</a>, and <a href="http://www.zgallery.com/">z gallery</a>.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Matching furniture pieces, fabrics and colors all lead to one thing you DONT want - a (yawn) boring room. Rooms need to have personality and if you're living in these rooms they need to be your personality. You have to personalize your spaces to make them interesting. Here are a few donts to avoid matchy designs.<br />

Ok I know a LOT of people that have a bed in a bag, and while it isn't the worst design faux pas you can make; still, there are better ways to impart a great style in your space. First pick one thing you love, be it a throw pillow, comforter, drapery and work from there. Add in coordinating fabrics, mix textures, add different patterns and the end result will be more couture than off the rack. Take a peak at the Bahama mama ish bedding to the left. Wowsa, a palm tree threw up in that room.

Ok, this is one I'm guilty of too and I kick myself in the butt for it. I hate when I go into my bedroom and I have matching nightstands, armoire and bureau. So irritating for me; however, I've added my own personal touches to other areas of my own bedroom to make it my own. Instead of buying a "suite" purchase the bed, or create your own headboard, buy a few functional side tables that have the right height and width to suit your needs. these pieces need to be functional as well as work with the design. Now think about your storage needs. Do you need an armoire for the tv? do you need a large dresser to store folded clothes? Can you fit folded items in a piece in your closet? Do you need additional seating in you room? Think about your function first and then add in pieces that you love to keep it feeling lively. The same goes for your living and dining spaces. Find a piece that has history and character at a consignment shop, garage sale or antique market. You can always refurbish it and make it your own; and you'll love having a piece with more of a past than a mass produced item. Take a look at the sectional sofa, bordered area rug, some kind of drapery and a single throw pillow in the photo above. I think I just named everything in this space. I'm all for minimalist design, but scuse me while I take a nap. Here are some more donts for you:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvxu3j5O4H46wbJdsbvRb9SRCIJUJtzEiO4KogH4uyKqfKpJAEap3BvU_VTSzGUAFZrRDz1Ko_wKe3DIVNWaYs8jkbzQHSUyq0yiplVtbspQGHFfR9pjHttO1u2f1lazf5gvtS5bqFSnSw/s1600-h/matchy+4.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvxu3j5O4H46wbJdsbvRb9SRCIJUJtzEiO4KogH4uyKqfKpJAEap3BvU_VTSzGUAFZrRDz1Ko_wKe3DIVNWaYs8jkbzQHSUyq0yiplVtbspQGHFfR9pjHttO1u2f1lazf5gvtS5bqFSnSw/s200/matchy+4.bmp" width="200" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

There is pattern, texture, color, occassional tables that are so adorable I want to know where they came from. The scale is great, walls are interesting; the entire design works. The designer created a linear line with the height of the sofa and chairs, and kept it soft with more curvilinear shapes in the tables; as well as the addition of flowers and plants. The shocking blue velvet on the sofa is the showstopper, with a few green pillows and grey upholstered chairs. Nothing is overwhelming in color, pattern, texture or scale. That is why this space works, everything is done in proper proportion.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1kHJC-h7loYm3k7PjTIhTYfXrzekDolbb39ln8Wot2GGMmd2jSqD3SlLrn3TsF20zJ0e3-3sL8GHzRveXrQ9zZICQ7G5Zzrn8prad4dWGaByx3HfmuE_cVrksxFbjnTjOtvh5ueBwGwF/s1600-h/interesting+lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1kHJC-h7loYm3k7PjTIhTYfXrzekDolbb39ln8Wot2GGMmd2jSqD3SlLrn3TsF20zJ0e3-3sL8GHzRveXrQ9zZICQ7G5Zzrn8prad4dWGaByx3HfmuE_cVrksxFbjnTjOtvh5ueBwGwF/s320/interesting+lr.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A headboard can easily be the focal point of your bedroom. It is so easy to create one that makes a big impact on one of the most important spaces in your home. Here are some ideas:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The first and most obvious is the upholstered headboard. Find a fabric that you love and will make a big impact in your space and complement the feeling you want your room to have. There is no limit to the fabrics available and be creative, take it to the ceiling, or run it the full length of your wall. The photo shows a basic headboard shape, but you can really add drama and impact by changing this element of the design.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The Mirrored Headboard:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Using a mirror as a headboard can be so lovely. When searching for a mirror like those pictured you have to remember to look at the bones of it. You can easily renew a mirror found in an antique shop or yardsale with a coat of paint</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Be it images from a book, calendar photos, fabric remnants, or as this crafty designer did, colorful handkerchiefs. Create a wall grid by doing some simple measuring or tape it out on the wall and hang. Again make it dramatic by taking it higher or hang different size frames in an interesting arrangement, or mix frames with different styles and materials, different metals, woods, painted finishes for a fun ecclectic result.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-qBLYzs48vc8OHMjsjPCEH9EI-gR_-nHgHAld08IgGkS6NA8fQpWME8y_PEimYg6A_wQlRIlwXUTmERTIZEGMqsFAcd4W8d5h3YlzJB-CXIrf1ozyaFyM9S-NV3fvy02xZIc048GiUTa/s1600-h/handkerchief+headboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-qBLYzs48vc8OHMjsjPCEH9EI-gR_-nHgHAld08IgGkS6NA8fQpWME8y_PEimYg6A_wQlRIlwXUTmERTIZEGMqsFAcd4W8d5h3YlzJB-CXIrf1ozyaFyM9S-NV3fvy02xZIc048GiUTa/s320/handkerchief+headboard.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Buy one that suits your style and either hang it from the ceiling, like this mod hanging divider or if it is a privacy screen, pull the bed out from the wall a few inches and simply stick it back there.

Yes friends, I am. It is one of the easiest solutions to creating a simple (and inexpensive) headboard. Buy some moulding from a hardware store, measure out a piece of wallpaper to a size of your liking, and frame it with the moulding directly to the wall. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">The Faux Headboard:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixzK276b4dw9woPdE9iAst0R1b8e6AvvBDnk1HskIv6kXsKlA7KAh0e13aK3MEpml8-AtqLtOFqHtW3t_2YiHgp3FW4G-UyRpxUuKU5trOJA3VhEEI92ydXyhy8YBOw4r2PfPDNdSoqRAn/s1600-h/the+painted+headboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixzK276b4dw9woPdE9iAst0R1b8e6AvvBDnk1HskIv6kXsKlA7KAh0e13aK3MEpml8-AtqLtOFqHtW3t_2YiHgp3FW4G-UyRpxUuKU5trOJA3VhEEI92ydXyhy8YBOw4r2PfPDNdSoqRAn/s320/the+painted+headboard.jpg" /></a>If you have a touch of artistic ability in you, you can easily create a faux headboard by painting it on the wall. Use a metallic paint or for a subtle barely there design, choose a paint in one shade darker or lighter than whats on the wall; in a high gloss finish. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Try a Different Space Plan:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Who says you cant place your bed up against a window? Hang your draperies as you would anyway, and place your bed in front of it. The softness of the drape will look so elegant and lovely behind the bed. Just dont push it right against the wall, give the drapes room to move and not pucker agains the mattress. When you open the treatments during the day to let light in it will frame the bed nicely and you wont be stuck placing your furniture only one way.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Any of these can be refinished and add a bit of character to your space. It makes for a conversation piece when you put something with a bit of history into your home.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Use some artwork:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">This is one of my favorites. If you are artistic yourself hang a canvas (or create a grid with smaller canvases) of your original artwork. Have a creative child but dont know what to do with their work? Make an arrangement of sentimental artwork created by your little one. Like to support local artists? Buy some art from your region and hang it above your bed. You dont have to have a headboard already so you can hang art above it, as long as you think large scale with the art you use. Making a grid automatically takes smaller works of art and takes them to a more appropriate proportion to your wall.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

reminiscent of a modern day georgia o'keefe, with a different medium. While georgia was a painter beth uses intaglio printmaking to create her work, a process in which acids are used to cut away at metal in specific patterns which are brushed with ink creating a plate; take a look at some of her art, so pretty..<br />

There are tons of different styles to choose from. The focus here is to create vibrant beautiful designs that are inspired by different cultures around the world. You can choose from bright and colorful or natural and muted designs; but no matter what you choose, it will have been created on a natural fiber. There are no synthetics used in these products, just natural linen, organic cotton and raw silk. Did I mention the embroidered silk pillows are to die for? Here are some of my favorites<br />

I think everyone and his mother has a bone to pick with the lovely (or not so lovely) papers that coat the walls of homes around the country. Hold on there friends, wallpapers are not all bad. I know the lovely scalloped border is sadly never going to up the design quotient in any space; but take a look at these great papers by some fab companies:<br />

Having lived there for several years I love this citys style. Flavor Paper is a company based out of New Orleans that makes some very non traditional papers. Check out Stanley, Knot Wood and Celery, these are some of my favorites. Interesting applications for papers such as these, that may overwhelm in large quantities are: the backs of shelving units, lamp shades, accent furniture pieces, or use as art by wrapping around canvas or sticking to the cardboard backing found in in-expensive frames and make a framed wall collage.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Wallter can help. <a href="http://www.foldbedding.com/index.php?cPath+21">wallter</a> creates wall decor that you customize. From circles to slats to teardrops, butterflys, starbursts, and rectangles, you paint them the color of your choice, peal and stick to the wall in the design you like best. Should you and wallter ever decide to part ways, you can break up easily by simply removing from your wall.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Looky Looky what I found today.... So I knew Ikea had some great buys on Scandinavian furniture, what I didn't know is they have the coolest fabric selection, and for between 6 and 9 bucks a yard. I LOVE that! Here are some of my favorites...<br />
<br />
Take a peak at more great fabrics at IKEA.com and browse their textile selection.<br />

I LOVE watercolors and there are so many beautiful colors to be inspired by. I often try to impart on clients the idea that keeping your staple pieces neutral is a good idea, this way you are free to change your design easily and without spending a ton of money<br />
<br />
This fabric is so gorgeous I would love to reupholster a chair such as this:<br />

Use metal lamp bases instead of glass or porcelain, mirror frames that are oxidized instead of painted and find a few interesting metallic accessories<br />

and dont be afraid to mix your metals, thats what gives design some personality, just dont go bananas with it.<br />

Neutral designs rock too, as long as you incorporate one key element, <br />
<br />

now lets expand our minds a little; living in Colorado, often times when people think texture, they think of rough: hewn beams, rattan, bark, stone etc. These are not the only textures you can incorporate into a neutral color palette. Lets go through a dictionary of textural terms:<br />
<br />
smooth<br />
nubby<br />
silky<br />
gauzy<br />
rippled<br />
soft<br />
embroidered<br />
wavy<br />
furry<br />
........<br />
<br />
there are too many to name. The idea is to incorporate a handful of these. Not ALL of them in one room, but pick several, and not just one or the design can fall flat. Lets look at some examples of textural designs that make me drool...<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of two completely different design<br />
styles that utilize the same general principle, neutral colors and highly textural<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Design makes me feel all sorts of things, today, its hungry!!!! so often people think of "natural" colors as earthy browns, mossy greens, sand, etc. all of these are fantastic, neutral and wonderful, they are all necessities to all designers. Neutrals are essential in a design, but ALL neutrals can sometimes be lackluster</div><br />
I say, what about the natural COLORS, ones that are bright and saturated, and sometimes intense:<br />
<br />
Greenmarket is one of pantones color palettes for 2010, <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZse6wXRZ_0WB4JGtWM6VLUBiAGhiPP5FJxz9RS8JcV7gBFLnG8IdPplQlQvAejbZONtjYyQtpYV5Q4p1-Ul2JWAsBZ9oLk4SoCYV_ElCF8RPURa4_xjltcajawFH5mYsqQyu41UU71uo/s1600-h/greenmarket032509+pantones+color+trends+2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZse6wXRZ_0WB4JGtWM6VLUBiAGhiPP5FJxz9RS8JcV7gBFLnG8IdPplQlQvAejbZONtjYyQtpYV5Q4p1-Ul2JWAsBZ9oLk4SoCYV_ElCF8RPURa4_xjltcajawFH5mYsqQyu41UU71uo/s320/greenmarket032509+pantones+color+trends+2010.jpg" /></a></div>and it rocks<br />
<br />
the palettes colors are as follows: Tomato Puree, Vanilla Ice, Chutney, Paprika, Dijon, Apple Green, Super Lemon, Peach Blossom and Beaujolais.<br />
hungry yet, I thought so...<br />
<br />
"The need for healthier and more artisanal foods has grown from traditional farmers’ markets to greenmarkets. Found on country roads or urban lots, these visually appealing and tastetempting sites invite us to stop and sample a broader and more diverse selection of goods and goodies. From Tomato Puree and Beaujolais with the tang of Super Lemon or bite of Apple Green, to the more exotic flavors of Dijon, Paprika and Chutney, Greenmarket contains representational hues that entice and appeal to both the eyes and the taste buds."<br />

The inspiration behind the name I chose to represent my design style is simple. If you look the word up in the dictionary you get: "an elevated place for resting or sitting" and "a place that is secure, advantageous and prominant." I also love that a perch is usually very organic in shape and geometric in shape at the same time, the best of both worlds. With this, I want to share some finds that translate literally into the name I chose to represent myself in the design community. Enjoy:<br />

I love the antique feel of the fern prints and the bird cages. both are available for under 50$. I also fell in love with a vintage canary print available at pottery barn, but at almost 300$ I knew there was a better solution out there. I found this adorable blue bird print (and some other equally cute ones) at <a href="http://www.vintageprintable.com/">http://www.vintageprintable.com/</a> downloads are free, this site rocks.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniEdb37em6MVdB1JyJF0ZwY48dBOOKFcspKqnUarLqA2Xu-ZzegHjqzBvKI8jchGQ-toiQego5aRFGEeGnV0XqzNsug_cMdiYHC4MZ142mVgo0FYWlu_DU0nYjytWzl6kdnqBc7BcAU6b/s1600-h/vintageprintable.com+free+downloads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" mt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniEdb37em6MVdB1JyJF0ZwY48dBOOKFcspKqnUarLqA2Xu-ZzegHjqzBvKI8jchGQ-toiQego5aRFGEeGnV0XqzNsug_cMdiYHC4MZ142mVgo0FYWlu_DU0nYjytWzl6kdnqBc7BcAU6b/s200/vintageprintable.com+free+downloads.jpg" width="152" /></a><br />

so if you dont know, you soon will, I have a certain love for vintage prints and LOVE color. This alexander henry fabric is just darling. Being that it is a cotton print, it is not suitable for upholstery projects, however, order a yard and wrap it around a canvas for instant adorable wall art. <br />

These stores can be found at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">http://www.etsy.com/</a> , search circlelinestudios, lovesticky and expressingyou, all of these are under 50$<br />
