My all time favorite bed has always been an upholstered headboard. I really think it is the most comfortable for watching television, reading in bed or just lounging with your morning coffee and paper. Some can easily be changed with a slipcover or quickly updated by throwing a beautiful piece of fabric, such as an antique suzani, tapestry or a gorgeous Fortuny across the back (this works best if your headboard is square in shape). I believe it is a true classic and will stand the test of time.
Here are a few photographs I found you may like. I would love to hear from you and which is your favorite. Enjoy!!

Hanging art can really be an art in itself. If done correctly it can make your entire room. I have been known to frame beautifully illustrated prints from books to calendars. Any image that speaks to you will probably look great in your house and above all will make it uniquely yours.
Here are some images that may inspire you and a few tips from Josie McCarthy you might find helpful when hanging art yourself..........
When hanging art of different sizes around the room, pictures should be lined up by their center lines, not the tops of the works. A single painting or the main piece of art in a grouping should generally be hung at eye level for an average person.
A series of identically framed prints or engravings should be hung closer together than pieces of different sizes and shapes. A rule of thumb is 2 to 2 1/2 inches. A more varied grouping need varying margins between pictures, but you should aim for consistency, with roughly 3 to 4 inches between pictures on each side.
In the case of prints, more is better to create a greater impact. Original antique prints are a great way to make a strong statement with a limited investment.

Anyone who knows me knows I have a slight obsession with blue-and-white porcelain. I would fill every corner and available surface if I had the chance! I know all the design experts say edit, edit, edit, but it is so difficult when more really is better with this timeless classic.

Below is part of an interview John Rosselli did with ElleDecor. Mr. Rosselli is a master designer, married to the wonderful Bunny Williams, and a true legend of design.
I like massing objects. I'm known for blue-and -white porcelain. A group of boxes- small large - looks great on a table. At our house in Punta Cana, we collect white porcelain objects - ducks, chickens, fruit. Buy things individually, and before you know it you've got a collection.
I'm known for a truly electic mixture of furniture and objects. I buy what I like, It all comes together. John Rosselli
