Blu Dot Sale: Fabulous Modern Beds

Becky — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:31:02 +0000

The other day when I was telling you about the Blu Dot sale, I was looking for this great product shot but couldn’t seem to find it. I had forgotten that it was one of the extra shots of the ever-popular Blu Dot Nook Bed. It’s fun contemporary style may just inspire you to put on your favorite gold leotard, feathered fascinator and weird leggings (Spanx?) and jump for joy on your modern bed.

If your dream modern bed happens to have a wood veneer rather than an upholstered one, and/ or you desperately need some extra storage, check out the Blu Dot Modulicious Bed. The full, queen, and king-sized beds offer SIX, count ‘em SIX drawers for storage, while the twin size offers three. This clever bed has modern lines, comes in scrumptious finishes, and has clean modern lines that will help your bedroom reach its Zen goals.

Check out Blu Dot’s modern beds as well as all of their other modern furniture in the Blu Dot Sale.

Flickr Faves on Friday: Seahorses, Vintage Quilt, Soothing Walls

My fave room of the moment today is this bedroom by Flickr member lakbdesign/fergus and me. Love the color, love the quilt, love the funny polka dot pillowcases, love the crazy seahorse lamps. Symmetry makes it all work somehow:

Learn a little more about this amazing quilt.

But wait, there’s more! A fireplace and mantle, cool shutters, warm wood floor sand the most fabulous chandy I’ve seen all day. I never thought to fill a non-functioning fireplace with books before. As long as the soot’s taken care of, why not?

Thanks so much to the fabulous Lynn-Anne Bruns for continuing to add her gorgeous photos to our Fresh New Spaces group!

I love this unexpected combination of contemporary furniture and the sweet floral bedding! It’s from Flickr member Carlota’s photostream; thanks so much to adding it to our Fresh New Spaces Group!

Flickr Faves on Friday: sfgirlbybay’s Gravel Gray Wall

Becky — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:05:04 +0000

While I saw this in our Fresh New Spaces Group, I had already seen it in sfgirlbybay earlier this week. Victoria has painted her room “Gravel Gray” by Benjamin Moore (BTW, she says it’s not quite as dark or as blue as it is appearing in her photographs). She’s also sleeping on DwellStudio’s Chinoiserie bedding. Finally, she’s looking for some input on which artwork to buy for this room. Check it out and chime in on her post!

Rue Magazine is Here!

Becky — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:54:35 +0000

It was such a treat to read the buzz about Rue Magazine’s premiere issue yesterday and then to peruse it. I know I am going to back and pore over it for hours. It was so much fun to see so many of our favorite bloggers and designers featured (I’m not even going to name them because I know I’ll inadvertently leave one out – there are SO MANY!).

When I first started blogging, one of the very first blogs and the first photo we ever feel in love with on Flickr were both from Victoria, a.k.a. sfgirlbybay. It’s been so much fun to watch her blog grow and to watch her switch up her home, especially after she moved! Let this photo serve as a teaser, then, if you haven’t already, hop on over to Rue and check out the entire issue. My only wish is that I could buy this baby in print and add it to the very special magazine issues I keep permanently:

The folks over at DwellStudio are some of the best at styling their products, but I think they would likely agree that this one is a superb example of styling their Chinoiserie Pearl bedding!
