SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN

Last night in search of simple, unstuffy spaces I remembered the Domino archive over at brides.com and found just what I was looking for.

There's not a lot going on here in terms of accessories and color, but it's amazing how finished this lofty New York space feels. Sometimes I think it takes more skill to decorate with less than it does juggling a complex symphony of pattern and color...wouldn't you agree?

ROMANCING IN THE BEDROOM

Is there anything more lovely than a cozy bedroom with a little touch of romance? These days - when rest is a bit harder to come by - I'd have to say no. But we often neglect our bedrooms when decorating and concentrate instead on the public spaces in our homes.

This bedroom, simple and romantic, shows me that it doesn't take a lot to create that serene oasis we all deserve: a warm coat of paint, black and white photographs in simple frames, a beautiful chandelier, uncomplicated bedding, and a soothing color palette.

And to seal the deal on this being my new favorite bedroom are the drapey curtains hanging from above. I can imagine enclosing myself in them at night, feeling enveloped in rest and calm. Aww...
