Beautiful, peaceful bedrooms

Posted by Mr Wong at 9:25 AM 0

I'm heading "home" this afternoon after living out of a suitcase since Dec. 28th. It'll be great to sleep in a bed and not a couch or a cot. I have gotten used to traveling and will miss it a bit, but a little time off the road will hopefully be recuperative and prepare me for my next round of travels! So, I thought some gorgeous bedrooms would be appropriate for today's post!

a.
The natural light in this pastel bedroom is amazing

b.
This bedroom is maybe a little more modern than I like but the clean lines make me feel like I could sleep all day -

c.
I'm a fan of benches or chest at the end of beds - and isn't the headboard adorable?

d.
I'm really into sophisticated grays lately

e.
This is one of my favs - a modern retro bedroom with a twist of femininity and coziness.

h.
I'm a sucker for mix n' match bedding - it's just sometimes a lot easier "seen" than done.

i.
I love this sort of vintage elegant bedroom - it's so indulgent

If I were the swooning type...I would be swooning. Those floors! Those billowing white curtains!

House Tour - Kelly Klein's very zen home

An oldie but a goodie for you. Back in 2007 Elle Decor featured a home belonging to Kelly Klein - photographer and ex-wife to Calvin. She lives in the midst of Florida's horse country and her home is adorned in beautiful horse photographs

This is my favorite shot of her home - sans the cowhide

An aussie - just like my Cody and Mom and Dad's Remi

That tub looks comfy

I think I have a new favorite style! Modern rustic!

Decorating a home isn't a race - it's a journey worth enjoying. Tactile, handmade ceramics are best collected over time and look effortlessly chic when displayed as a group.


Mix provincial pieces and modern luxuries for a smart take on the rustic look.

A natural, earthy palette with touches of black, white and ochre is a good base to work with.



Walls that have a plaster- or lime wash-style finish work well as they provide a chalky surface that adds texture to a room.

When it comes to accessorizing, think about shades of tortoiseshell, pearl, ebony, seashell, crystal and bone.

The key to making this look cohesive is keeping clutter to a minimum, so it makes sense not to rush into purchases.

A capiz-shell hanging, driftwood and linen give natural warmth to this pared-back room.
*Personal note* I absolutely LOVE this bedroom. That bed looks perfect!

Stripped- back timber floors, doors with porcelain knobs and aged wardrobes and shelves are raw and rich.



Keep your colour palette to earthy tones such as sand, slate and ochre, and mix in the rich textures of stone and wood.
