I missed you Shenani-Followers!

Please forgive me for being aloof this last week. I have been home sick with a roaring cold. Which retardedly enough is the twisted inspiration for this next blog entry. I spent so much time in bed, I was reminded of how nice it is to have a bed that you love with comfortable surroundings. And so, here are some pictures of beds and bedrooms that I wouldn't mind hanging out in for a few days :)

I love the symmetry that is in this room. And there is something about tufting in furniture that always says LUXURY to me:)

And sometimes, you really don't need much beyond an absolutely beautiful and ornate bed frame. You could put this bed anywhere, with nothing else, and it would work! Ahhhhh!

Or you could let your inner child pick out your bed....Just imagine the kinds of dreams you would have in this bed! I would look forward to going to sleep, just to have the amazing dreams:)

I love this bed too, although I would take the mirror away as it is bad feng-shui to have mirrors where you sleep and especially above your head, so I have been told.

And modern lines are always a soothing effect for your restful sleepy-time area.

There is always something about a white bed and a white bedroom. It makes the room feel so large and airy! I imagine myself sprawling out in this bed like Sarah Jessica Parker in SATC, with a big puffy dress on and looking absolutely adorable!

AND I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!

OH May Word! I could just eat this up. It looks like you would sleep in a marshmallow:) I love all the tufting and the neutral pallet of colors, mixed with a subtle variation of cool tones with very light warm tones. Brilliantly executed!

And for those of you with a taste for a richer color pallet. This is a wonderful mixture. It looks like there is crackle gold-leaf wall paper, with wanescoating, and I love that there is a chair as a side table (because using things for different purposes should always be inventive and fun). But I especially LOVE how the mint/tirquoise color cools off the room and compliments the golds and greens at the same time! Mmmm. Makes me want to snuggle up right now!

Welp, I hope all my Followers/Readers are feeling healthy today! Thanks for reading and Happy Saturday!

A Treat from my Sweet!

My very sweet and thoughtful man had dinner waiting for me last night....wait, wait....not just dinner!!! He cleaned my entire apartment from top to bottom (which he knows I adore due to my limited free time), went to bat with the cable company for hours on the phone for me (and fixed the problem!), opened a bottle of red wine (my fav.), had lit just about every candle that I own and played my absolute favorite CD for me (Sarah McLaughlin, Surfacing)! (Whew)
AND had a wonderful dinner for us (that we ate while listening to the rain coming down outside)! Let me tell you...it meant so much to me!
And so...I write today to pay tribute a priority:
Remember to treat the ones you love like today is your last. It is all so precious!
And...Thank you sweetie for everything and for being YOU!

Interior Design Room Planners

When you are moving into a new space or just thinking about ways to rearrange your furniture, dont break a sweat. Online room planners can do the job for you and they are easy to play with in order to get some ideas. Rearrange all you want and save your back the pain.
Here are some helpful sites:
Thomasville Room Planner
Ethan Allen Room Planner
or Collins Room Planner
All you will need are measurements for the room, and measurements for the furniture that you already have.
This is also a great tool if you are looking to move to a smaller space, if you have the measurements, it will help you figure out if you will need to get rid of furniture and which pieces will have to go before you even begin packing.
Happy Designing Shenani-Followers.

Moving time!

So....I found an apartment. And its going to be mine-all-mine! NO roommates. All mine! For the very first time in my life! I have dreamed of this moment since I was about 7 and insisted that I wanted a doorbell and a  house number for my bedroom door for Christmas! I imagine myself holding my little old-lady-dog Odie looking a little something like this on just your average day, just hangin' out in my apartment, you know looking ridiculously glamorous.....

Dream Closets

A closet should be your lovely safe haven, where your most expensive items can be lovingly tucked away in style when they are not being worn.
Brooke's closet tips:

• Make sure all your hangers match. It makes everything look fluid and clean, even if they are plastic target hangers (that's what I have, easy to replace)- as long as they all match!
• Add a fresh coat of paint, make sure it is clean looking, and you can even play with color here.  Have fun with it.
• Lighting, Lighting, Lighting! Color does not exist without light! So make sure it is a well lit area. Plus this can be helpful to make the closet space seem larger. Don't be afraid to play with chandeliers if you have the space.
• Keep the floor items organized and clean looking.
• Make sure everything matches, for example storage boxes should all be the same and should coordinate/contrast appropriately with paint color, etc.
• Most of all, keep it a creative, organized, uncluttered and inspirational so it can be a place for you to dream in. Very important for your Fashion Sanity!
Here are a few closets to die for!!!

Could you even Imagine walking into Rachel Zoe's closet?!?! I bet it is the size of a studio apartment!

Perfect example of someone who is not afraid to make her basic closet color pallet POP! Get it...POP! lmhfgfreegnlllk: ) Cause its a Pop singer....okay... well I Love it!
Also If you are looking for a GLAM look Leopard print is always a great foundation to start with, as it goes with almost everything, allowing you to incorporate items you already have.

Sex and the City The Ultimate Closet

Picture from: shelterpop.com

An obviously fictional closet as there is no possible way that all of those ensembles could have possibly fit in that little (large by New York standards) closet! Or that a woman in new york could wear designer labels every day without wearing the same thing twice. Never the less, a fun place to dream of in my head!!!Source URL: http://gbejadacosta.blogspot.com/search/label/Interior%20Design

Harrow Blog World, I have arrived!




Amazing and Inspirational Fashion Forward Moment
(How I would love to arrive to this blogging experience dressed like this! And you are never fully dressed without a smile, own it!)
Allow me to Introduce myself with a short rant...
My name is Brooke. I have been a fashion conscious individual since I can remember, with wardrobe changes in between my dance numbers on the living room coffee table, white curls bouncing up and down from my terrible tap dancing number, but at least my tutu matched my bracelets!!!
Now, let me clarify that this by no means qualifies me as a fashion expert, obviously. This is just my own visual inspiration that I hope might be enjoyable for others.

But as I write I should share some of my absolute favorite characteristics about fashion, and that is that... if you allow it, it can/is:
Defined my no ones rules, and can use it to break and redefine your own standards.
Inspired by imagination, and can inspire your imagination in return.
To define and redefine you, what you are thinking, what you are feeling.
And most importantly to me; it is a wonderful creative outlet.

Fashion can be found for me mostly in two ways, clothing and interior design. Two of my creative passions! In the entries to follow you will find both, along with some Organizational Ideas, Inspirational Quotes, and whatever else might tickle my fancy that day.
I hope after visiting my blog...you decide to stay...light a fire...smile a smile, and decide that if there is pretty things that you might stay a while.Source URL: http://gbejadacosta.blogspot.com/search/label/Interior%20Design
