GAME MANIA

I love the idea of using a screen behind a headboard. Screens also look pretty as a headboard but I prefer screen floating behind a headboard from a functionality and layered design stand point! This top room by Nick Olsen, is one of my current favorites! This picture has been around for a long time but I LOVE this bedroom and screen. Vintage Screens are my favorite! This room incorporates a very cool balance of modern and traditional design idea. This is a great use of a tiny space. Not enough closet storage? Set up racks to display your best and fun pieces.

1. 2. 3. 4. I took a break from my own home design this summer..but now with Fall approaching {can't really believe it's 9.1} I need to finish my baby girl's nursery! I of course always love sharing my finished spaces with you, so I'll be sure to do so..! I've definitely decided I am going to design her headboard {there is a guest bed, that will eventually be her bed in the room} and call it Emerson {her name} and add it to my furniture line! {that's in the works and will be open, for sale, and added to my website by mid-winter - beyond excited about this !}.. So here's my question to you..because you may be future customers right? What's your favorite? I will of course tweak the design a bit, but I'm leaning towards a timeless, feminine feel! {oh and would I love to use Leontine Linens? - you bet cha ,, but unless they have a huge sale, it's not going to happen in a child's room} image credits: Coastal Living , Kimberly Ayres , ?, La D...

In lieu of a traditional upholstered headboard, why not try something different. Maybe a tapestry, panels, a large mirror, a found object, a barn-door ....there are endless possibilities and some can be executed on a dime!! Here are some ideas..... An 18 th century tapestry.

Image: Elle Decor If you own an upholstered bed and want to add some depth to the space, try covering the wall behind the bed in an A sian themed wall-covering . Pictured here is a custom bed with a de Gournay hand-painted silk paper. Image: I can't recall where I found this, may have been a Boston area magazine. Vertically oriented panels covered in a faux leather, can make a small space appear larger. This is a great bed to read in. Faux leather is cost effective and can easily be wiped clean..
