NESTY THINGS / BEDROOM

thought i'd show off a little of the work i've done in the bedroom today. i've included a few sources where i can as the post goes along. shall we?

i love a white bed! this swiss dot duvet from west elm is probably the most asked about thing i've ever owned. it breaks up the all white just enough to provide a little textural interest. sadly it's sold out, i wish we had gotten it in a king! (some nights when i can't sleep i scour ebay for one, just in case.) our beautiful hanging tasseltry is from hackwith design house.

one thing that's pretty consistent across all nyc apartments is the lack of overhead lighting. it's a trick to get a room the right level of brightness. viesso sent us this bamboo lamp, which is meant to be a suspension pendant, but in the absence of ceilings high enough we've been enjoying it on the floor. because why not?

i was so excited the day my moroccan wedding blanket arrived at my door. i've wanted one for what feels like a lifetime! it was a gift from accompany, so i can rest assured knowing it was produced ethically using fair trade materials. unlike maybe that pillow, which is from the targets. though i guess you never know. ;) (it seems sold out, but this guy appears similar-ish.)

here's the bed in a previous iteration. i love our pia wallen blanket from story north, but brandon likes to steal it for his couch-sitting comfort so most of the time it's AWOL. one day i decided i really hated our bedside table, so i found it a new home and never looked back. a basket by the bed is just enough for whatever i need to corral at night. but then i thought, well this just encourages clutter, so now we have nothing and i've still never looked back. but then again the kitchen is only fifteen steps from my side of the bed. i suppose it's possible that in a bigger house you'd want some room for a glass of water or whatever. i get it, i get it.

rug from ebay and sheepskin from amazon. you know what, is ebay is the best place to find a good turkish kilim. (i learned that tip from the best, thanks jenny!) p.s. you know what else, is these avarcas, which look like they would never stay on your feet, somehow stay on your feet anyway and are also really comfortable. the things you learn!

okay so i found this dream catcher at the dollar store on amsterdam and a hundred somethingth street, of all the places to find a dream catcher. hats from an arizona flea market and forever 21, respectively.

this is my dresser, an ikea classic, and on top of it i've get every piece of jewelry i own. a dish of earrings, a bowl of rings, my bracelets are displayed in a pretty glass box. i keep a few of my rotating favorites in a glass pyramid from minimalistos. i found that gorgeous block of wood at west elm a year or so ago, i have no idea what you're actually supposed to use it for.

now we're going to talk about perfume. the greatest scent on the planet earth is le labo santal 33. mine was a splurge of a christmas gift from brandon this year. le labo hand mixes your bottle while you wait and you get to personalize the label and it's just about the epitome of ridiculousness and i love it. not to mention it is literally the greatest scent on planet earth. musky and warm and just a little bit spicy. i am not being paid to say this. i also love the vetyverio from diptyque. most days i'm wearing either of the two, but i do throw in a little flowerbombe or philosykos from time to time. i keep a few of my favorite essential oils in glass test tubes, just for playing around with + layering with other scents. sandalwood, patchouli, amber, and vanilla are my favorites. take it easy on the patch though. a little goes a long way.

some time you should remind me to tell you the story about how i wanted one bertoia-esque diamond chair, ended up with four diamond chairs, and then was only able to return two diamond chairs. it's a funny one. number 2 lives here for now. i haven't decided what to do with him yet. he's not quite right for the space, but i don't hate him either. our dry cleaning goes in the basket. so does huck sometimes, hashtag that's why it's falling apart. i think i found it at homegoods. the beautiful luggage is from accompany, i keep it out because i like to look at it. :) (i also keep my small collection of totes + bags inside it.) our lace drapes are from ikea! they're one of my favorite parts of the room. i have really fond memories of a very fat huck on my chest in the ergo, wandering around that showroom all day with an aching back while arguing with brandon over virtually everything. that sounds sarcastic but it really isn't, it's a sweet memory, haha.

our gorgeous weaving from maryanne moodie is living in the bedroom semi-permanently these days. i'm taking her weaving class in brooklyn next month, i can't wait! (i believe it's sold out, so check with her before booking.) this is brandon's dresser, from ikea. easily the prettiest dresser there but a beast to put together. the baskets are homegoods and amazon (the one on the floor). (the one on the floor i actually use for holding other moroccan baskets that i use to carry around the city as a purse. i don't know. maybe that's excessive.)

i'm hoping to show off the bathroom next! providing i get around to ironing my shower curtain. you'd think any wrinkles would have steamed themselves out by now, honestly. kinda makes me wonder about things...
