Dream Vintage Elegant Bedroom


dream vintage elegant bedroom Dream Vintage Elegant Bedroom interior design 2

The elegance of vintage can only be replicated through the use of easy and natural furnishings, as well as soft hues of colour. This bedroom evokes a vintage air with its successful use of cream colors in the curtains, ceilings and flooring. The sleeping region is kept modest with its use of delicate bedding patterns that retain a classic twist with vibrant but not obnoxious tones of blue and green. The furnishings, which is kept minimalistic, is prevented from visually clogging the walls by being kept low-leveled. Vintage is revived with this bedroom’s use of old-styled decorations such as a threading kit and a little, pastel blue suitcase.


One can picture waking up in the morning in this bedroom, feeling refreshed and delighted to discover gorgeous and lush bouquets of flowers placed on the bedside tables. Huge classic windows with a white frame beckon the individual to cherish the stunning view of nature just outside, whilst minimalizing the use of artificial lighting. With windows such as these, it is virtually not possible to not delight in waking up with sunlight streaming through and the sound of birds chirping. Creatively, a mirror that resembles the windows sits above the fireplace to produce the illusion of much more light and space.


If that is not adequate, this area also functions pale, wooden closets that beg for a clean, organized hallway that is cost-free of clutter. But perhaps above all, the piece that adds the ultimate vintage touch is the fireplace. Bordered in a pale yellow-green, the fireplace calls for endless nights of getting snuggled beneath the sheets, or even laying on the white carpet appropriately placed in front of it. With two armchairs to permit moments of heartwarming conversations to be held, this bedroom promises the wishes of any girl who, like the decorative and little suitcases placed about the room, is fond of simplicity and the treasuring of memories.

Vintage Mohair Rugs By Golran


vintage mohair rugs golran thumb Vintage Mohair Rugs By Golran others Rugs are an awesome way to express character in a room and what much better way to do this then with 1 of a type vintage rugs that have been reinterpreted into a modern day day art form by way of the process of decolourisation and re-dyeing with monochromatic vegetal dyes. The Golran collection vintage mohair rugs use this process to develop spectacular expressions of either bold vibrant colours or natural tones and pastels. Adore the concept of this Jack and Jill rug with potent pink hand knotted on one particular half and Cerulean blue on the other.
vintage mohair rugs golran thumb Vintage Mohair Rugs By Golran others For a a lot more industrial aesthetic, this smoky pattern of greys with random hand tufting of cayenne would look quite amazing in a loft with brick walls and concrete floors. I really like how the decolourising/redyeing approach creates an uneven striation within the background colour even though the original pattern emerges in a hazy shadow of its former self.

Speaking of gardens, does not this rug remind you of 1?
vintage mohair rugs golran thumb Vintage Mohair Rugs By Golran others For those who really like a black and white scheme, this rug fits the bill. It is almost a doily for the floor with its lacy pattern but the formality of the doily imagery is whimsied up by the occasional sandy tufts – as well considerably fun. This would be excellent at the foot of a bed.

Some have several hand knots and some have just a couple of such as this version with its couple of tufts along the edges in rose, pumpkin and olive. These tufts can be super enhanced by repeating their colours in a selection of toss cushions and accessories.

I would love to see this rug in a living room below a glass topped coffee table and surrounded by leather furniture in shade of cream.. Golran

This flower arrangement is so spectacular that I’ve saved the image as some inspiration for my art journal ^_^ the colours were just also excellent not to! I am also rather enamoured with that infant pink milk glass cake stand. I know they’re rather pricey so I couldn’t justify the obtain just simply because its fairly. I don’t even bake! I’m an eater not a baker :p I also would HATE myself if I smashed it. Says the lady who owns melamine plates because she’s such a klutz.

ooh! Are these whoopie pies? Do you ever appear at a photograph of food and you can just taste it? And feel the texture of the crumbly pastry portion. That’s just occurred with these poor boys! These are raspberry melting moments and that’s precisely what I could taste! The melting part. I feel I need some sugar.

o! My two favourite colours! It’s just a shame I don’t eat almonds, macaroons (complete stop) and eggs. Hah. They’re just stunning to look at.

Living Rooms

Lately, while viewing average American homes, I realized the living rooms are small. Our living room is. I'd like a little larger room but it is what it is and since this is our retirement home and we're in our 70s, it fits this season of our lives just fine . We spend most of our time in the family room, but we have guests in the living room mostly. While it's just fine for us, I wonder about the people with very large living rooms. Do they keep it for just show?

Reading one of Alexandra Stoddard's book many years ago, she said most people decorate only the public places in a home and that accounts for about five percent of a house, living room. They tend to not decorate the private areas. Why? We spend most of our time in the private places. I want my whole house to be beautiful...well, as beautiful as I can make it on a limited budget. Our house suits us just fine. How about you?

A lovely Victorian home.


Love the pink in this room and also the 2 kinds of drapes on a window like I have on my living room window.


A pretty vintage chair done over in beautiful fabric. Love the pink inside those cups.


A feast for the eyes and tummy. Looks beautiful and delicious.


An old chandelier dripping with glittery crystals.


One of the best shots of a rose I've ever seen.


A little bit boho gypsy here.


I think having a church made over into a home would be one of the most fantastic things to do ever. I wouldn't want to do the work, but sure would like living in it.


An organized closet is the sign of a demented woman. Trust me!


Cute cans papered in gorgeous red, pink and flowers.


Yes, I love it because of the pink walls.


Beautiful entrance to an old home.


I've always loved the look of a bathroom like this.


This would be a wonderful room to live in. Lots of light. Pretty views. A stove for warmth on cold days. Love furniture in white slipcovers.


If I had to camp, this would be my ideal camper. Lots of windows, pillows and flowers. A bunting. But then I'd have to camp and we all know how I feel about going off into the wilds of Idaho. NO!

Talking Mushrooms

Near the end of last year, our great granddaughter started talking about 
"talking mushrooms." She told her mummy and Santa Claus that she wanted mushrooms for Christmas. None of us—she absolutely stumped Santa—could figure out what she meant. My granddaughter asked the teachers at her daycare/pre-school if they had read a story or mentioned talking mushrooms at all to Caroline. They said, "No."

Then one day while they were eating breakfast out at a restaurant, a little boy heard her talking about talking mushrooms and said he loved them too, more than the current "hero" to that age group. So he grabbed Caroline's hand and off they went in the restaurant, their own little world.

So I went online and googled talking mushrooms and came up with a book and the old Mario-type movies of talking mushrooms. We asked her if this was what she was talking about but she said no. I bought the book to the tune of $25 and sent it to her and she loved it anyway, but in her 2 year-old mind she couldn't explain exactly what she meant.

Then one day at Michaels they had some candy called talking mushrooms so I bought that for her and she was fine—candy cures everything, ya know. But we've never been able to figure out what exactly talking mushrooms are. So if anyone out there knows, we'd be grateful for the information. We're still stymied.

Isn't this exquisite? I don't think I'd like to clean it but it is beautiful.


See, flowers can make anything look gorgeous.


While it looks like it's crumbling, it still has a lot of character with its verdigris shutters.


Just beautiful plates.


Even grunge can look pretty if done correctly. ;-)


I like the red and white checks on this chair.


Those verdigris shutters again on a different house, but notice the gorgeous roses also.


I cant quite figure this out except that it's a kitchen somewhere but the banner looks like a medieval joust is about to take place.


I love this little vignette of pink and white striped candles, roses, pink ribbon and pink candy.


Such a pretty solitary place to sit, shaded with an arbor and clematis.


I believe this is a section of a store with all that stuff around but it is none-the-less gorgeous. I see some things I'd like for my home.


How cute are these red and white checked shoes!!


Regular old jars done up pretty for a party. Take a hint for your next party.


Just because I love roses...


I like what they've done with the lawn chairs but the setting is quite striking also.
