A Floral, Romantic Bedroom

You might remember this bedroom, with its deep purple walls, having a Bohemian kind of bedspread and accents. Since the other room is almost done, with the sleigh bed and Bohemian stuff moved over for a new look, I finally had a chance to use the linens from  Florence that my mom gave me years ago. The room isn't done yet, so consider this a sneak peek.

An Exotic, Bohemian Bedroom

We have been working hard around here, putting in a new kitchen backsplash, finishing our third bedroom, and perfecting the rooms that have been done. We've refinished and put polyurthane on the floors, painted, and started this year's garden as well. Here is a sneak peak of the third bedroom.

Antelope Rugs!

I was in the mood for a bit of nature and whimsy, and guess what pops up on my radar? An antelope rug! How fun, and beautiful. But - expensive. I know when there isn't a price advertised on a website that it's very expensive (Stark sells it), and all the websites I've seen that sell this beauty have no price visible. I could save up and put one of these in my dining room, but, I think I'd rather stick with my $12 leopard print pillow.
