I have been doing alot of window treatments lately!! I just love seeing all the fabrics and creating such beautiful window dressings. Some of my favoite windows are Roman Shades and beautiful panels. Panels have been around since the beginning of time, but Roman shades have been extreamly popular lately. They are so versitle, they can be dressed up or made in a casual linen or cotton duck. They go in any space wether formal or casual living. Shades are ther way to go !! Here are some windows I love, Please Visit my Etsy store for ordering!! or call (518) 852-4185. Enjoy the pictures!!

What makes a Great Bedroom???? This is a question I’ve asked myself again and again. The answers, for me anyway are, ambiance that feeling of calmness, a personal sanctuary. The bedding, furniture, lighting it should be welcoming, a retreat. A place that will see you through a sleepless night, where you can close the doors and take a deep breath and destress…. A place you can have marathon reading sessions, even illness seems better in this place.

But, what is in a Sanctuary aka bedroom that gives it this feeling?? It should be luxurious, welcoming calming with comfortable seating. In my bedroom I have a Sam Moore chair and ottoman by the fireplace. Lighting, a beautiful chandelier on a dimmer, soft task lighting for reading and just relaxing. Soft colors on the walls that help soothe your eyes and bedding….The softest highest thread count you can afford, 400 count sheets are priced so reasonably, goose down pillows, and down definitely down comforter….ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh blisssssss…

Just some pictures to help translate what I mean:

I have been preoccupied lately looking at designs for the Guest Bedroom I am doing in Vanguard Showhouse. So I thought I would share some of the eye candy I have looked at recently. Hope you enjoy!!!

This inspired me as soon as I saw it!! The Custom poster bed and the Fabulous settee blew me away!! I love the metal, wood and the rustic style with the aire of luxury!! Wow  I would love to sleep in this room!! I ran across this room in Traditional Home, Jo Beth Williams’ Spanish Style home.

Next , this design is just light airy and fun!! I think in today’s market a relaxed palate and furnishings that we could relate to are a must! Love the desk in this bedroom. I sit in my bedroom at night and work at my desk I think it works well. Working and relaxing should go hand in hand, Love what you do!!! Another Traditional Home find!
