Chirp, chirp
Ohmygawd.
Double ohmygawd. Peeps, you have now met a celebrity. A REAL LIFE CELEBRITY. I introduce you to the Birdcage Bedroom. By Miles Redd (we'll come back to him lata). Featured in Domino Magazine. Throughout all my recent adventures into the blogging world, I have come to know that this room is famous among interior designers. But, these are my confesssioooonssss (U-S-H-E-R-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D nowtellmewhatyouwannado): It wasn't love at first sight. Yeah, I admit it. But the more I pondered it, the more I was like I can TOTALLY redo this room ala budget friendly ways. The more research I did, the more I got to learn about budgeting "designer" rooms. And it made me all giddy inside, reaallll giddy. I can so see this room as a guest room at our new casa (please babe, pwetty pwetty pleaaaaaaase). Without further adieu.....
The wallpaper: the real thang is just not happening. The birds are De Gourney and they are $650 per panel MINIMUM. I mean really? Don't get me wrong, I can stare at De Gourney pieces all day, but that is just ree-deec-ulous. So I'm gonna have to go with a much pocket-friendlier substitute:
That'll do pig, that'll do.
Now for the bed. You can get some nice alternates as seen below:
Personally, I can live without the whole "bird cage" feel of the bed. It makes me wanna drape fabric all around. And build a tent. And play hide and seek. So LUCKY MEEEEE, my parents graced me with this beauty a couple years ago for Chreeeestmas....thanks Frank and Suzanne!!
Or you could go all DIY and really impress yourself:
Spray paint some blue on thurr and make it work.
I'm in lurv with these lamps:
AND these Leontine Linens (obviously):
But I could SO be happy with diisss, just the same:
If this all came true, I'd just roll ovah and die.

| Robert Abbey |
But I could SO be happy with diisss, just the same:
The rug. She is Madeleine Weinrib...and peeps, she just can't be copied. Just can't. So if you splurge on anything, do it here.

i like where your head is at with the robert abbey lamps, very nice. HOWEVER. i am an owner of a madeline weinrib rug and let me tell you - disappointment of the CENTURY. i hate my mw rug. it wrinkles, never lies flat, is hard to clean, is basically the worst. i spent $800 on it and tried to return it. DO NOT GET IT.
ReplyDeletepretty to look at, not nice to own.
