Pretty Chinoiserie Wallpapers and Prints

A while back we fell in love with a vendor called Jardins En Fleurs. We probably blogged about it once. They make beautiful, beautiful Chinoiserie paintings and accessories. The problem was, it was so expensive it was impossible to sell. The company closed down shortly after--a victim of the 2008-09 economy, evidently.

Anyway, we get this email the other day from Belle Chasse home and it has a very similiar look and feel. Alas, we found out it was found by the same founder of Jardins en Fleur. He has great taste, we must say.

The line is more affordable now. If you are looking for pretty Chinoiserie prints, it's a nice choice.

Here are some samples:

LAVENDER ZEBRA BEDDING

The purple zebra print sets are no longer to be found so will lavender zebra bedding work? From the number of comments that I've been getting from teen girls looking for the set of black and purple zebra bedding set that I posted awhile back (Zebra Bedding with a Twist) it would seem that lots of my visitors waited too long and may have lost out.

I actually located a few sets that drifted through auctions early last month but they are now long gone. Yeah, that's pretty bad news if you had your heart set on it but the good news is that there is a set of deep lavender zebra bedding that is very similar and most importantly available at the time of this post.

Don't blame Tween and Teenage Girl Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas if you mess around and let this one get away from you!

Variations On A Theme – A Welcome Back

Initially, this blog was for my internship with an online magazine (and also this one). Now that the internship has ended, I have allowed this area of web space to lay unused and decaying. I felt bad about that and felt jealous of my friends in the world who have moved on from their junior high and high school LiveJournals, for which I still hold a dear place in my heart, and have brought their

RED LEOPARD BEDDING

Tell me is the wild, red leopard bedding set in this picture a pick or a pan? I thought I had had enough with decorating with red early last month. But here I am again, going all out on a color just because of a particular holiday that's just around the corner.

Actually, I believe that I'm more into red bedroom decor at the moment than I was during Christmas and I plan to prove that this warm color has lots to offer no matter how badly your parents don't want you to use too much of it in your room! Stick around and keep an eye on Tween and Teen Girls Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas because I might actually hit on a comforter set that will convince mom and dad that there are worse things than buying their teen girl a set of red leopard bedding.

PURPLE and BLACK ZEBRA COMFORTER

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


When I saw these pillows I thought "What a great way to dress up a purple and black zebra comforter"! Or for that matter, I can imagine a teen girl giving the black and white damask comforter set (that her mom really loved a whole lot more than she ever did) a cool look.

Mixing and matching patterns and colors are what take a bed in a bag set and transform it into something delightful and unique. However, one bad choice in an accent pillow is all it takes to completely tank your decor no matter how stunning the rest of your bedroom decorating ideas may be.

My advice would be to make good use of sets like these pillows where the work has already been done for you! And my hat's off to whomever thought of using black and white damask print with a purple and black zebra comforter set.

Decorating in White

It's hard to believe summer is almost over. Here in LA it's scorchingly hot, but stunningly beautiful as well. There's nothing like driving down the Pacific Coast Highway late in the afternoon, with the blue ocean on one side and the mountain on the other...so gorgeous, it makes us so happy to be alive.

But we're getting off track here...

If you are a reader of this blog, you probably know we're crazy about white. Especially when it's hot outside. White has such as an amazing cooling effect, and it's so neutral too...

Here are some of our favorite white interior photos from photographer Per Gunnarson:



So simple and pure. Don't you think?

LIME GREEN DAMASK BEDDING

I knew that I had to show you this pink and lime green damask bedding ensemble by Serena and Lily called Caroline when I saw how unbelievably cheap it's priced when compared to similar girls' bedding sets that I've used in past projects.

A client's daughter texted me to tell me that she had found some bedding that she loved on a website that I had recommended. I had suggested several places that she might find some girls lime green bedroom ideas and this was at the high end of all the possibilities on the list. This particular site has some scrumptious, stylish bed linens that I usually love working with but I happened to know that this teenage girl's mom is working with a rather tight budget and I was afraid that this young lady had fallen in love with expensive bedding that was out of her price range.

Imagine how pleased I am to see that the pink, white and lime green damask bedding set is perfect for her room and that the comforter set is not the inexpensive bed in a bag that her mom had in mind, it's less than $200 and there is currently a FREE SHIPPING offer. Plus this teen girls' lime green damask bedding set will work just fine with the existing white walls which eliminates the need to re-paint.

RED GINGHAM BEDDING

You tell me; is red gingham bedding too country to be cute? Is it too juvenile to be cool for a teenage girl's bedroom? This Ralph Lauren comforter caught my eye and I can't get it off my mind. Frankly, I'm on the fence about red and white checks but I find myself loving it with Valentine's Day just around the corner (in fact I plan to feature more red bedding for girls in the next few weeks in honor of the romantic holiday).

I can see it used to set the tone in a cottage style of decor with a white shabby chic chandelier and painted wood bedroom furniture. In that setting it would not have a country look to it whatsoever.

I'm a big fan of decorating bedrooms with red all winter because it's such a warm and toasty color. But it has to be just the right shade with no orange or rust but lots of blue undertones to cool it down to prevent it from being irritating. This red gingham bedding set may be just perfect to transition a room from warm reds to a fresh and airy room that's ready and waiting for springtime.

Medieval Bedding Sets

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


I could hardly wait to share the reasons that shopping for medieval bedding sets got on my day planner with you! The day started out with only one mid-morning appointment for a teen girl in her senior year.

The girl's mom made it clear in her initial phone call that her daughter had eclectic tastes and hobbies. In retrospect this announcement probably should have waved a few flags but lots of parents think their teenage girls have odd taste so I just let the statement go in one ear and out the other.

I arrived right on time with a portfolio full of pictures of bedrooms that I have recently had a part in decorating. Spreading the most recent (and well received) designs on the table, it was clear from her expression that the young lady did not want a frilly, feminine bedroom. For that matter nothing she saw in the pictures seemed to suit her so I jumped in and asked her about her hobbies and if she had a particular style of decor or color scheme in mind.

This is where this bedroom decorating consultation became very interesting; I came to find out that this teen girl is interested in broadsword fighting and what she would like to see was pictures of girls' medieval bedrooms and medieval bedding sets.

You could have knocked me over with a feather! I'm all for giving a nod to a girl's personality but what exactly does a medieval bedding set look like? My mind drifted to knights (or in this case maidens) slaying dragons which given the elegant decor in the rest of the family home was not going to work. Then I remembered a bedroom that I decorated with a Ralph Lauren Galahad print medieval bedding set that had complementary patterns with a similar name that one might associate with Knights of the Round table, Guinevere plus one called Aragon and another named Red Velvet.

I had to go digging in my adult bedroom folder to find a picture of the bedding and lucky for me she went crazy for the idea. Thank God that Ralph Lauren chose that name for this gorgeous comforter set! Now, I have to find suitable decorations for the rest of the medieval bedroom that will appeal to this ferocious young girl's decorative taste!

Return to see which of the Teen Girls Medieval Bedding Sets my client wants. Let's see if she prefers the colorful damask like fabric or something right out of Dungeons and Dragons!

Black and White Paisley Bedding Set

SEE MORE HERE!



I was reminded today that looks can be deceiving. When I saw this black and white paisley bedding set, "damask print" was my first impression. Then I picked up the package to read the details of the fiber content, etc. and WHAMMO; those little amoeba shaped patterns just POPPED out at me.


Actually, to be fair, there are areas of the fabric that have damask print designs but the border of the duvet cover is made up of mirrored pairs of paisleys. Throughout the black and white paisley bedding set you will the solid black color in one area and solid white color on the other end and all reverse to solid white. The solid color fabric of the throw pillows as well as the solid white portion of the fabric of the comforter cover is surrounded by the unique damask paisley print combination. The pillow shams and throw pillows are absolutely divine and I’m so happy that I picked this collection up for a closer look!

How do you think that it would look in a girl's bedroom where the walls are painted a silvery gray? I would appreciate it if you would leave your comments regarding this black and white paisley bedding set before you leave Tween and Teen Girls Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas so that I'll know whether the cheap bed in a bag set or this set would be more in tune with the tastes of my clients.
