In bed

after 7 years i decided it was time for new bedding. I feel like recently my tastes have been moving in a different directions and i know they are different (though not drastically so) than they were 7 years ago.

since i live in a tiny studio the bed becomes a huge focal point. i decided to go with pretty neutral colors and load up on texture.

I went with this duvet in white from west elm and these shams.

for a bit of fun i recovered my big pillow with this ikea fabric -

what do you think? now im just on the search for a charcoal bed skirt - yes im a bed skirt person - but the tailored straight lined kind.

fall lust

so ive just finished drooling over the fall 2010 anthropologie catalogue. im loving all the deep, rich fall colors with an english countryside/equestrian bent....did i mention the drooling.

not only are the fabrics and clothes stunning. i feel like i am experiencing the texture of the heavy woolen fall fabrics. but the photographs go above and beyond i feel like ive walked into a whole little world in these 60 odd virtual pages. go have a look, ive even ordered a hard copy. i foresee some long term inspiration coming from these pages
