When I cook, I use exact measurements and it annoys my husband Dan because he free forms a bit more when he cooks.
The recipe for this room…
Add some texture to your existing white mixture, stir. After thoroughly mixed, add a dash of rainbow.

I’ve hatched a plan, its a plan for my bedroom.
Great right…wrong.
Wrong because the plan for my bedroom requires that I get all new furniture and my husband Dan would freak out if he knew I was even entertaining the thought. I have so many other incomplete rooms in my home that need much more attention than the bedroom. It’s totally ridiculous really. But it’s all Ethan Allen’s fault. Ethan made this bed, the Quincy.

You might’ve seen it in the Ruralist category in House Beautiful in the Dec/Jan issue but I loved the Quincy before HB declared it Ruralist cool. Apartment Therapy talked about the irrational fantasies the Quincy invoked, so its not just me. Its comforting to know I’m not alone.

And yes, I know that there is probably an antique/vintage bed I could pick up for much less and paint black, I’ve considered that possibility too. Trust me, every old bed I see with traditional yet graphic curves, I imagine it black.
For now I’ll have to stick with what I’ve got which is this,


I was turned on to Bo Bedre a Danish shelter mag by a reader, thanks Anne-Sophie!
While trolling around the site I found this bedside table which is sticking with me. I think it’s because of the way it hugs the bed and although the styling is modern, the homeowner made it warm with the accessories that are placed there. It’s just a little refreshing change to the squat, wooden night stands I’m used to seeing.

You can find a similar look at CB2.

Twin beds is something that we are seeing a lot of whether it be in a shared bedroom for kids or a guest room, we previously posted about the twin invasion here. But I recently spied something that was a little different, a spin on the twin bed lineup.

What do you think about this concept? Would you rather have separate headboards?

Has anyone else noticed that twin beds are everywhere? Some for kids, some for guests.

Just wanted you to look at it again!

Sorry. I’m not a huge fan of that word, but this is what I was chanting to myself when I saw this clever little Swedish birdhouse looking bookshelf on DesigNova.

It’s perfect for hanging by my bedside just over the night stand, the messy shambles of dog-eared, broke-spine and half-reads are making it difficult to reach the Snooze button.
