Every now and then I come across something that makes me want one of us to be a girlie girl… A glimpse of a fine canopy bed with draping, billowing curtains will usually bring on one of these longings and make me start daydreaming of lands a 'long, long time ago' in places 'far, far away'. Now I usually come to my senses fairly quickly, but this room (and particularly the bed) has me mesmerised. I want to be the little girl that gets to sleep here every night! So many things are pitched perfectly… The milky pink on the walls combined with the fabulousness that is the duo of duck egg and vivid yellow of the gorgeous fabric designed by Sandra Loveland Bragdon for her Connecticut store Hungry Palette. The 'traditional' references of the canopy itself juxtaposed with a Phillipe Starck chair and the neon pink clock on the lucite bedside table… Oodles of books, and emerald green desk (!!) an impressive array of bunnies, oh and finally don't forget the essential handsome sheep at the end of the bed. Visual hot buttered toast…. If I didn't want to live there, I'd just want to eat it!
