Today I'm Loving...

...metal four poster beds! One of the things we haven't worked on yet in our new house is our master bedroom. We are in the market for a new bed, and since we have existing dressers that are wood, I'm liking the idea of a contrasting material for the bed. If you have the right room for it, I like the bold statement that a four poster bed makes and the metal can give it a refreshing twist on the traditional style.

Sadly, my husband dislikes four poster beds, so it probably won't be happening, but I'm still thinking he might change his mind. :) Regardless, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites:

dividing a room with gorgeous bookshelves! And look at the hardwood floor!

Not 100% sure that is metal, but you get the idea. :)

amazing bedroom with blue soothing colors, great arch and antiqued mirror

A mix of wood and metal would also be nice...

Happy July, by the way. :)
I've been told that Summer starts in Seattle on July 5 - I'm counting the days!

Ottoman Empire

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday to you all...things are moving along here at home and I'm having fun starting to round out the house with furniture pieces I have had my eye on for a long time. I just ordered these ottomans from Wisteria. I can't wait to see them in person!

I'm planning to use them in the living room in front of the fireplace, but I think they''ll also be great at the foot of the bed in our master, in the entry, or separated throughout the house. I think they'll be great for additional seating at parties, and kids love sitting on them too! Can you tell I love versatile pieces? :) These are a few rooms that inspired me to add these to my home:

Windsor Smith

They add a hint (or more) of style tucked under a sofa table when not in use.

Love the greek key detailing of course!

Stuart Membery Home

Such an intriguing mix of Asian and African design here...

Brown Designs

Love this look next to a luxurious bath. Can you tell I really like zebra ottomans? More to come.

Jayson Home & Garden

Vintage french.

Great in an entry and an easy way to store them in a smaller space. This table may be high end but I spy a pretty easy IKEA DIY table here...

Zebra, nailhead and that great finish on the legs? Yum.

One of my favorite rooms of all time...especially the sofa table and ottomans.

So what do you think of this versatile piece?

Soothing Bedroom Retreats

Today I bring you some beautiful bedrooms that I find incredible peaceful...I can definitely imagine myself curling up with a good book (on a stormy, rainy evening in Seattle! :)). I hope you find something that you like, too!

I adored this look: a bed set against a wall of bookshelves.

How easy - and inspiring - would that be to find a great book to just pull of the shelf?

Cozy, Spicy Decor

You probably all already know that I love spice colors - especially orange - and I think the following rooms are particularly cozy... Now that the color of the year is tangerine I think they fall beautifully in line with that trend. I hope you enjoy these spaces as much as I do!
