Upstairs Downstairs

Are you watchin it?

Oh my... the drama and the decor!

And let's not forget the pet monkey!

Chair-ish Chairs to Cherish

Sharing some pretty exotic chairs that seem more like art or sculptures.

These unique chairs are designed by Carla Tolomeo for Sicis Next Art.

You can read more about them here at News House Design.

Serene Glamour

Some sparkle in the dark makes for some serenely glamorous settings.

The first picture is one of my favorites for Interior Design inspiration.

I have a big shell like this one in my yard maybe I should bring it inside!

I hope you find some sparkle in your day too.

Seriously Cool Bedrooms!

There are so many beautiful interior design blogs with posts about bedrooms, like those over at Claudia's blog, The Paris Apartment in One of a Kind Love Affair, To Sleep, Perchance to Dream, and The Art of the Unmade Bed, and over at Trouvais in her post More Bella Notte.

I had to join in the fun and share some pretty bedrooms I found too,

but with a twist... ones with beds that look like tents, and those with canopies and a cozy nook to curl up with a good book.

I hope they are inspiring and peaceful. Sweet Dreams!

"The Holiday" and Bedroom Tents

I'm watching one of my favorite movies, "The Holiday"

and dreaming of pretty cottages with cozy rooms.

Some of the cutest scenes from the movie are with the little girls,

Sophie and Olivia, when they want to show Amanda their room:

"Guess what? We have a tent in our playroom. Do you want to see it?"

"This is an exceptionally great room!"

"Come inside! Lay down... lay down. It's cozy."

"Who cut out all these beautiful stars?

"We did, the three Musketeers."

Next post, I'll share some more "seriously cool" rooms!
