Hi, I've just made a few of them : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2010/02/08/16843206.html. I think they look great, and it's a cheap alternative to fresh flowers ! As for a mobile with them, I'll have to think about it (I'm actually putting together a nursery), thanks for the idea !!

Hi again !
After my first deer head (see the last comment back in october), I've made a 3D one last week. Check it out : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2010/02/10/16860701.html. I'm gonna use it in a nursery.
What do you think ?
Cheers from France

Hi there !
My home office is in front of a window, it's really nice, even if the view is not stupendous (but there are trees when I look up from my computer). And I just gave it a makeover today by bringing a mid-century desk found a the local thrift store, check it out : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/08/15357316.html !

Hi there !

Ikea provides great fabric for upholstery.

I bought a staple gun this summer, and I can't seem to be able to stop myself from renovating since !

Here's a glimpse of my last projects :

Hello !!
I'm also changing my pillows according to the season, but also ... the scent of my home ! When comes autumn and fall, my house smells Christmas tea, orange, cinnamon, and also a great "wodd scented" candle that smells like we had a fireplace in our livingroom !
I've just created a super simple autumn "art", you can check it out on my blog : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/01/15273881.html (I'm French, but I write my posts in both french and english)


Apartment Therapy DC | How Do You Cozy Up Your Home For Fall?

Hi there !
I would love to find this one in France ! What's the source ?
I've used wallpaper as art in my bedroom, by just stapling pieces on canvas : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2009/09/17/15103854.html. It gives a dramatic yet super easy decor to the bed area ...


Apartment Therapy Chicago | Design Dare: Metallic Wallpaper?
9/23/09 9:57 AM

Hi Ronda !

Here's what I would do : paint your bed in a more modern color.
- Why not a vibrant siler look ? very chic I think.
- Blue will also works well with orange : http://www.flickr.com/photos/14441000@N00/2125127349/

And then paint or apply wallpaper or fabric with a shape of a traditional headboard directly on the wall, so that you can preserve the bed and still give it a brand new look. I suggest not to use the same fabric you have for your curtains, as it would totally dominate the whole room.

Of course, the color of the bed should be in accordance with the style of the wallpaper you'd use, and with your bed linen.

And I would also put the cushions in another way, so that you can see the heaboard.

And of course hang something on the wall above the bed : art, frame, mirror, anyhting that you like.

But if you still want to replace it with a modern heaboard, you can check out what I've done here in 1 hour : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2009/09/17/15103854.html

Hope it helps !
