Sweet Dreams

Lately we’ve been chatting amongst ourselves about bedrooms: what makes them fabulous; is there a nice bench or small-scale sofa at the foot of the bed;  what’s on the bedside table; what kind of headboard are we coveting – all those sorts of questions.  It didn’t take us long to start daydreaming about our perfect bedrooms.

Ahhh. So soft, serene and pretty. Gorgeous elements from The Tracery.

We love the pretty lines of the little French-style chair.  What else do you put at the end of the bed? We think two of these would be sweet: a curvy and gilt-y burlap-covered bench with sexy Louis legs.

 

A pair of these would be adorable at the end of the a bed.  From Huff Harrington Home. $550.00.

 

Atlanta’s own Kay Douglass did two oversized chairs at the end of bed.

Blackberry Farm always gets it right. We saw this first from our adorable friends at Gramercy Linens…

This is so Huff Harrington…we’re crazy about the neutrals, the antiques and the very crunchiness of it.

And then there’s the issue of the bedside table.  Small and stylish? Functional but pretty?  Are you stashing magazines, books, iPads, phones and goodness knows what else next to the bed?

This nightstand is so pretty and just the right size. Love the wall of paintings behind it. From Little Green Notebook.

 What about the simple and clean lines of a Swedish-style painted bedside table?

We sell these at the store and they simply fly off the floor. $675.00 at Huff Harrington Home.

Suzanne Rheinstein puts mismatched nightstands on either side of the bed for a nice, collected look.  And skillfully hung art above the bed adds a lot of oomph.

 Here’s another pretty option:

The girls at Gramercy love Greek key…and so do we. So chic and clean. Love this.

And what if the ceiling slopes and the room is just big enough for a set of twins? Do you sacrifice style for size? Absolutely not!  Voila…

Here’s how to handle twins. From Greige Designs.

A couple of us are obsessed with headboards – and that’s another long story that we’ll fill you in on some other time.  But just feast your eyes on this explosion of happy color:

This just gets your mouth watering. It’s so fresh and happy, perfect for a beach house. From Coastal Living.

 Here’s another nice idea for a headboard: old crusty French shutters:

Old shutters painted sky blue are lovely. From House Beautiful.  We happen to have lots of crusty shutters at the store…and they’d make great headboards!

 And lest you worry that your bedroom decor is getting the better of you, take a peek at these: sassy cotton pjs that will send you happily off to dreamland…

Adorable cotton pjs that just get softer and softer. $117.00 at Huff Harrington Home.

 And a cute robe to go with them:

Cotton and terry. What else do you need? From Huff Harrington Home.

We wish you sweet summer dreams! Ta ta.
