Happy Friday!

Something about these two images simply demanded that they be posted together. I just had to comply.

Have a glorious, frivolous, lovely weekend!

Inspired, to say the least.

I was looking for some bedroom inspiration and came across these boudoirs and a few other beauties. Now if I could just click my heels thrice and make that first room mine I would look no further. Man, I want it bad.

Friday Fixation: Table Tonic

After looking over my posts this week, it appears that a bit of a theme has developed. Specifically, fabulous new-to-me blogs. And this one is no exception, both in the new-to-me department and most especially, in the fabulous department. These images are culled from the blog of the very talented Louise Bell. Louise, until recently, honed her design chops as creative director of Cosmopolitan, Cleo, and Dolly magazines. And her newest creative endeavor, Table Tonic, an online shop specializing in a spectacularly curated collection of hand woven silk ikat cushions, vintage suzanis, colorful embroidered Mexican bedspreads, and even antique Rajasthani tribal jewelry is coming soon. I, for one, can't wait! Just looking at the gorgeous, rainbow-hued selection above has me drooling.

And just so you know, the first three shots are from Louise's own home, designed by her talented architect husband. Be sure to check out her blog, Table Tonic, for more images of her stunning abode and a plethora of other fabulous interiors and enticing design finds.

Through the Lense

There's something really inviting about these photos. Like peeking through someone's window when you know you shouldn't...but you really want to. The dappled light, the tinge of blue, as though they were dipped in the slightest hint of inky watercolor. Yes, something really wonderful is happening here.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Layers upon layers of color, texture, textiles and of course, inspiration. Sometimes I have to control my inner-gypsy and my tendencies to collect and display too much stuff. But these rooms seem to have their finger on the pulse of bohemian chic without crossing into the territory of "junque." Do you have an inner hippie chick just waiting to get out?
