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.

Dreaming of Temporary Decor

I am still sans interent (I get small windows of time to hop online occasionally) and I am still researching home decor from my photo archives for my new room.

  I came upon the this dorm room from a past Refinery29 story and fell in love all over again.  

Can you believe they did all of this using artist tape? 


 I am the type who will skip painting a room or wallpaper-ing Not because of the hard work but rather because what I want to look like changes quite often.  If I had the patience This would be an amazing option.

Dreaming of Decor (of All Spectrums)

I have been without the World Wide Web for a full week now and it's been interesting . . . just kidding, it's been horrible.   I'll manage somehow.  In the meantime I have been looking at home decor photos for inspiration for my new room.  I vacillate between the dark/ macabre to the stark/ modern.
