Cozy Bedrooms

For those of you who are on Pinterest, you know how addicting it can be to peruse the Internet just searching for beautiful images to pin to your boards. It's incredibly fun to do, although I admit, a huge time sucker. But lately it's also been very helpful as I've been on the hunt for some home decor tips. I need to redo my bedroom but the tricky thing is that it's on the lower level and the amount of natural light is very limited. I do have a window that lets some light in, but it's not very much, especially in the winter. I've decided to embrace it though and make my room very cozy and warm. These images above are what I'm using for inspiration. Don't they make you just want to crawl back into bed?

How are your bedrooms decorated? Modern, vintage, romantic, traditional? Any favorite decor tips for low light that you'd like to share? I'd love to know! ♥

Wallpaper Wednesday

A few months ago, I saw Aimée Wilder's beautiful wallpaper featured on one of my fave shopping sites, Gilt. I didn't buy it then, but I bookmarked her website so I could go back to it at some point in the future. I'm still not in the market to do any wallpaper purchasing now, but her work is so fun and modern, I figured you DOPT readers would enjoy it as much as I do. 

In addition to wallpaper, Aimée also makes and sells limited edition screenprints, and cool decorative pillows. You can see more on her website, including where to buy, here. 

Apparently, there's a big wallpaper designer scene and lucky for me, most of them are located here in Brooklyn! Who knew, right? How about you? Are there any wallpaper designers you're into? And are you more pro-wallpaper or pro-paint? With such pretty designs on the market, it's easy to see how this wallpaper trend got so popular.

Dreamy Dame: Eva Zeisel

This morning, I was planning to blog about Apartment Therapy's new website design. But as I started playing around over there, you know what happened? I went down the rabbit hole that all you bloggers are familiar with, and I stumbled upon a post about a new modern vintage store, Ampersand Vintage. From there, I went to their own blog and eventually found this post about this amazing artist, Eva Zeisel. Have you heard of her? She was a big deal! And totally Dreamy Dame material: creative, talented, beautiful, and incredibly strong. I wish I had learned about her earlier.

Eva Zeisel was a Hungarian born ceramics artist and industrial designer who passed away last December at age 105. She worked up until she died, and was known for her award winning designs, prolific career, and fascinating life, including a 16 month period where she was imprisoned by the KGB who falsely accused her of plotting to assassinate Stalin. Can you imagine? Her life was very fascinating and inspiring indeed.

You can read more about her on her official website, on the blog where I first leaned about her, and on the Huffington Post. Hope you are as inspired by her as I am. 

Shipley + Halmos on The Selby

Just stumbled upon the Shipley + Halmos studio visit over on The Selby and if you haven't seen it yet, check it out now! The design duo cannot be more awesome and their space is absolutely to die for. My favorite part? Their rolling library ladder! I want!
