Home Ground

I spent my first day back home from Italy watching a marathon of "Million Dollar Decorators" and as a result, I think I caught the decorating bug. Though I can't even dream of such luxurious projects as those I've seen on the show, I was very impressed by the beautiful transformations that were achieved by simply moving the furniture around and adding a few finishing touches here and there. So I scoured the web for some eco-friendly accents that I would love to some day add to my so-far-still-mostly-unpacked new bedroom.

On the bed, I like the idea of keeping the covers white and playing instead with its texture, then only bringing in colour with some decorative pillows; the brown and purple colour scheme seemed just right for the upcoming fall season.
