Dreamy Decor Details

As a game (and to stall organizing my room) I was looking at old photos I have collected through the years and puzzling together which items would best fill this Room:
No, it's not my room, it belongs to 
young L.A. actress I have not heard of.   

To start, I would hang outdoor lights 
from Restoration Hardware indoors,

And a faux-animal head or two 
(I know! they look so real) from Anthropologie,

I would add a small side table and drape this Snow Grid tablecloth (also from Anthropologie) over it,

And display some vintage brass candle sticks (candles might be optional as I do not want them to drip wax on my pretty tablecloth).










 I think to contribute to the antiquated feel some needlepoint would be in order and what better form of needlepoint than a line or two from The Smiths?




To top it off I would add a cashmere pillow from Armand Diradourian using my favorite motif, the tree.  



Or a piece of fruit.



Or a snake. 

 Ha! Were you expecting the pillows to have a Biblical Creation Theme?  Not to make light of the temptations in the Garden of Eden, but I would love to have all three scattered around the house.  


And since I am fond of the macabre, I would need it in black.

Dream Shoppe - New York Edition

When a business is called Old Village Hall
it deserves to be called a 'shoppe.'
It's charming and macabre
which happen to be my two favorite things.
Needless to say it's one of my
favorite places in the East Village.


They sell things like a T-shirt of my dear Edgar.


They have products with names like 'Robespierre.'
Would you want to carry a Muslin Tote named after the Dictateur Sanguinaire (Bloodthirsty Dictator)?
I would too.

Actually I'd prefer a pillow named after her:
Maybe my Antoinette Pillow . . .
. . . could live in peace with my Robespierre tote?


My favorite print?

The School Boys series.
Of Course.
I'd love to sit on those Chairs
and put my untidy unmentionables in the Laundry Bag.
