Elements of Style Bedroom Update

I adore Erin Gates' blog, Elements of Style, and her decorating style and taste so I was so excited to see what she did with her bedroom renovation. It did not disappoint! If there's one thing I want when I'm older it's gotta be a 4-poster bed. There is just nothing better and more elegant. Erin really wanted one for her bedroom but she couldn't find one she quite liked so she did a design collaboration with Kristin Drohan and designed her own! It is fab. Light wood and a faux leather tufted headboard? Swoon. Her fabrics and colors and everything are perfect and I love all of the hardware and custom details in her master bath and closet. I would take this whole situation as is...

Homepolish

I love the concept of Homepolish. You have an initial consultation with a designer and then buy a bucket of hours and they go to work for you. You can re-decorate your whole house or one room and pick your budget - the designers go to work creating the perfect space. I am also obsessed with the website! They have gorgeous pictures of finished spaces from offices to bedrooms to outdoor patios. Check out the site here and a few of my favorite photos below.

Painted Trim

I've been noticing a that a lot of designers have been experimenting with painting trim a different color than the wall colors and I am loving it! I've seen some adorable wallpapered rooms with beautifully painted trim, as well. What do you guys think of this trend? I love it - it's sort of quirky and whimsical.

Fireplaces for All

Today I want to be in a cozy room with a great fireplace. Fireplaces in every room please (and outside)!

That mirror! That couch! The windows! I'll take it, please.

This bathroom is absurdly glamorous. I would spend hours in that tub.

How dreamy is this bedroom with the french doors and the four poster and the fire place?

A fireplace in the kitchen would definitely make me want to spend more time in there hence cook more

Monogrammed Bedding

How does that old adage go? You can take the girl out of Greenwich....? Okay, I admit it, I am preppy at heart and always will be. No matter how much leather I add to my closet, I will still get weak at the knees over a good monogram. Obviously there are the old trusted traditional looking monograms used on bedding but I'm loving the fresher versions that have been popping up. My credit card can not handle a new set of sheets right now but here's to dreaming for later...

Love love love the red monogram below

Wallpapered Bedrooms

I've always been a fan of a neutral bedroom but I've recently seen some amazing bedrooms with great wallpaper and prints. Wallpaper can add a touch of whimsy and a lot of color. Below are a few of my faves.
