@MichLeMac- It looks like a moroccan wedding blanket to me.

Also, I love my Room and Board canopy bed. Super sturdy and easy to take apart to move it!

Paint them to match! It would be really cute in sky blue with some silver stenciling and it would match the cute kitchen cart you have.

They seem to have exactly the type of drops you are looking for on their chandelier. Maybe if you ask the blogger, they can get in touch wor get you in touch with the designer. It looks beautiful though!

6 Fun Ways to Pose for a Family Portrait

I moved back into my old bedroom when I graduated from college... and brought my husband with me so it needed some serious work!

We painted the walls a nice grey to cover the stenciled floral border of my youth and added a cornice box and some sophisticated full length curtains for the windows. It really made the place cleaner and more mature.

We also got rid of or framed the posters that were on the wall. It's amazing what a difference a framed poster makes compared to one taped or tacked to the wall.

Since I didn't want my poor husband surrounded by my memorabilia, we got plastic bins with lids (to limit dust collection) and stacked them in the closet. That way the memories were close... but not staring at you!

These could be perfect. They bring in the blue and green and have the mid-century vibe that you seem to be rocking with your furniture. I agree with the high and wide camp for hanging, these might be too narrow, so you could do a double bar and hang sheers behind these that reach all the way across and use these as purely decorative side panels.

We had a gas on glass for a while... that is until dad dropped a ramekin on the corner and created a crack.. that became a giant shatter when heated.

What, throwing everything you own into the closet so the home appraiser can't see it isn't the right way to clean a room?...

Can you tell that is what I did this morning?

It would look nifty with silver or gold leaf inside rather than paint.

It looks the right depth for 2 shoes. Rather than put pairs next to each other, just put them one in front of the other. That will mean you don't have to pick favorites!

I'm all about the cute throw and pillows with an unpleated skirt option. It's kind of a funky cool sofa. When you can afford to, i would just get it re-upholsertered rather than get a new one. It has a fun shape and you can ask the upholtry folks to tailor up the arms since they are the least contemporary part about it (other than the skirt).

I think it would look great with a modern re-do of a Windsor Bench like the ones on the link. In black would be striking and pick up the color of you table legs!
