My brother and his lovely wife are vacationing in Ireland. Jealous much? So what, I watched the movie Leap Year last night. Yeah, somehow it did not compare. Anyhoo, I was thinking Irish which lead to "green" and "lucky"...so why not put pics of green bedrooms on my blog. Get it? Yeah, it's a stretch but you try to come up with a new post every day!

You can tell when I am tired...my posts are about beds in some way shape or form. Today I am dreaming of hiding out in one of these bad boys. Don't they look cozy? I would like to say I would curl up with a good book but honestly, here is The Situation, I just want to sleep. Or perhaps have a fully loaded DVR filled with all my favorite mindless trash television (like Jersey Shore perhaps). Kinda reminds me of my freshman year dorm room when I had that loft built so I could put a futon in underneath. Nice. Makes you want to fist pump doesn't it?

Hmmm...

See, everyone's doing it!

Even this A-Hole.

I love using nailheads as a decorative detail in the home. You can easily customize pieces like beds, chairs, tables and even bulletin boards with some nailhead trim. It is a great way to emphasis the lines of a piece or to add a little somethin' somethin' to a neutral or simple object. Recently, I thought it would be easy to reupholster my own chair and use decorative nailheads along the bottom edge. Ummm, not so much! It wasn't as easy as I thought to get them lined up straight (as I am sure there is a trick to this that I will learn before my next attempt) but I am still happy with how it turned out!

I especially love the use to emphasis the feminine curves of furniture!

I love the use of a ribbon trim anchoring the nailheads!

I love it mixed with the texture of raffia!

I love the double rows of nailheads!

You can put them close together or separated out.

They come in many sizes.
I am really liking these larger ones!

And they come in many finishes too!

I am loving that anything goes in upholstered headboards these days! You can get as custom as you want with the shapes, fabrics and decorative details. What a great way to break up a room full of straight angles and all wood furniture. Hallelujah!

Try a Custom Shape...

Or a Bold Pattern...

Or with Nailheads...

Try Adding Tufting...

Or Try Thinking "Outside the Box"...

I love finding driftwood on the beach! I wonder what its story is- did it come from a broken down dock, or an old shipwreck or perhaps petrified tree from far away? In some areas, driftwood is so plentiful that it can be a nuisance but in actuality, it provides nutrients when decomposed, shelter for wildlife and oftentimes forms the base of sand dunes. Each piece is so unique with its knots and gnarls. Some are bleached out from time in the salt and sun. Regardless or its origin, the sculptural quality of driftwood truly makes it a work of art. Designers have been using driftwood in interiors for years and recently manufactures jumped on board creating lamps, mirrors and furniture out of this natural beauty.

As lighting...

As furniture...

As a mirror...

As is...
