BUILT-IN HEADBOARD - BEDROOM DESIGN IDEA

Built in furniture is definitely a way to save space in a small room.  I wish I had built-ins in my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills.  I could use every inch of space there.

This lovely little room in a cottage designed by Jessica Helgerson has everything built in even the headboard!  A tufted arched headboard behind the bed built right into a nook created by built in closets and drawers.  The room is very small but it doesn't feel that way.  No clunky headboard attached to the bed sucking up space.  With the head board flush to the wall...every inch is saved...leaving more room between the foot of the bed and the French doors leading to the garden.

Smart use of space I think.

What are some space saving tricks you've used in your home?  Do you like this idea?  Just noticed there are drawers under the bed too!

Happy Wednesday!

FAUX BAMBOO

I am still loving faux bamboo.  I think a lot of people in the design community may have moved passed this trend...but I am still into this look.  I have a little glass and metal faux bamboo side table in my den...it is the perfect mix of modern and classic to me.

THE ALL WHITE BED - STYLE STATEMENT

I love a clean simple all white bed. Never goes out of style.  Is it stylish to just put a white cover or duvet over a bed and call it a day?  Don't get me wrong...I love a fun patterned bed...the COCOCOZY Bedding collection is full of that - interesting textures, graphic shapes, timeless colors.  But on a day where you need mental quiet, deep relaxation, no noise, or a soft touch to the eye...an all soft white bed will do the trick.

Does an all white bed make a style statement?  I wonder.

What do you think?  Do you like an all white in the bed or is it way too boring?  What is your idea for bedding that makes a style statement?  Florals, prints, color?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Okay...best of friend AM and her hubby JE and their two kids arrive tonight.  My deck is still under construction!!!  It is a mess.  They are outside sanding and staining right now.  Follow along on COCOCOZY Instagram @COCOCOZY to see updates of the work in progress.  I'll be posting a few images today!

P.P.S.  Today am wearing a sparkling jeweled short sleeve sweatshirt.  Kind of cute.  Bought it to meet TE's dad and stepmom.  Ended up not wearing it then...but it is good for work!  I am wearing it with some old sparkling Prada flats.  Is that too much sparkle to be taken seriously on the job?  We'll see!

BEDROOM DESIGN FIND: RED CHINESE CHIPPENDALE HEADBOARD!

Smith & Watson - Queen Chinese Chippendale Fretwork Headboard - $10030 (Red fretted headboard. Mahogany.  Glossy lacquer finish) (above)

I like this headboard. A mahogany lacquered Chinoiserie headboard. Would certainly make a bright statement in a bedroom. If I were designing around this headboard, I would keep the rest of the decor in the bedroom simple. Pale gray walls, crisp all white bedding, a few lucite nightstands, simple white milk glass table lamps with shades with just a tiny thin barely perceptible red trim around the bottom.

Could be cute.

Oh, this is definitely not a piece do to be taken lightly. You would definitely have to commit...it is over $10,000! So you have to really love it and know you are going to love it for years...maybe even decades!

Is this statement headboard something you could live with for years and years and love? What do you think?
