day dreaming {beautiful boudoir}

 It was a dreary cold weekend here, perfect for curling up with a good book and hot cup of tea. And as luck would have it I just stocked up on multiple books full of visual interior bliss. One of them was Pheobe Howard's new book The Joy of Decorating. In the book she talks about her bedroom as a young girl and how "it embraced her and allowed all her wounds to heal." It was in that room that she realized how powerful environments can be. It pushed me to think about my own bedroom and day dreaming about an entirely new color scheme. My plotting left me struggling between a cool, serene and calming indigo, ivory and sky palette...

(Chevron Ribbon by Oscar de la Renta for Lee Jofa, Schumacher Farleigh Lipcord in Delf , Schumacher Fireworks wallpaper in silver frost, Holly Hunt fabric Ebb and Flow in Clear Day, Schumacher Abaza Resist in indigo, Kravet velvet and Starflower Blue Rug for the Rug Company)

or a more traditional yet energetic mix of bright grass green and shell ivory.

(Damascus Rug in green for the Rug Company, Manual Canovas Serena Metis in Lune, Osborne and Little Sakura Tatami Linen, Schumacher Gweneth Linen in Ivy and Madeline Weinrib Celery Sadu Ikat)

More of my ideas to come but of now, which palette do you prefer?
