Made for you and me

These days, nothing sounds better than conducting my life from the comfort of my bed -- well actually the You and Me Bed by Ennio Arosio for Ivano Redaelli.

Plenty of room for sleeping, watching TV, working on my laptop, paying bills, dining... Really, I see no need to ever leave it -- or the linen, cotton, jersey, wool, Italian cashmere and Mongolian suede that can cover it!

Modern Unusual Headboard

In white it may be a bit too padded cell, but this pillow headboard by Olivieri can be created in a variety of configurations and colors. I love the comfort it exudes, and the fact that the clipped together pillows would be easier to clean than a solid, padded headboard. Unfortunately for the modern Italian manufacturer, I can see this unique design becoming a DIY craze.

Felt Up this fall

Even though it's only August, and summer seems to have just arrived, I am ready for fall! I want rich color and texture -- and not just in my clothing.

Does anything sound better than folding yourself into the Felt Up chair on a crisp autumn day with a mug of hot cider?

With room for two, the cozy felt is available in one of fall's hot hues -- blue-gray.

Modern Chic Beach House

Perfect for a modern chic beach house and green to boot, these geometric bamboo nightstands stand on restraint loosened up with organic texture. These are vintage pieces made in the 1970's and kept clean and functional with glass tops, not shown in the image. What we do see is a relaxed approach to minimalism, which is just about perfect. 

This set is at Century Design Ltd in St. Louis and available online. $1,100 for the pair.

Summer-ize your home

Francine Gardener, owner and founder of Intrieurs, has a few afforable tips to update your home with the change of the season.

Perk it Up with Accessories: Changing your room’s accessories is an easy way to reflect the season and revitalize your décor with minimal cost. With summer coming, enhance your room with throw pillows and rugs of pretty floral and solid light colors. Remember to keep your darker colored and striped accessories on hand, as they are ideal for the fall.

Fresh Walls, Fresh Look: For a fresh summer look, paint your walls with a new white coat. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try some warm colors, like peach, rose or light yellow. For fall, paint your walls a cooler color, such as light green, pale blue or beige. Also try changing your artwork to reflect these colors as a simpler method to keep your home up-to-date with the season.

Give your Couch an Alter Ego: The proper slipcover can make your furniture look new in an instant. Use a crisp cotton or linen slipcover in a light, airy color for summer. For fall, use a deeper color of brushed cotton, velvet or wool.

Flower Power Your Home: Buy an inexpensive mixed bouquet from your local store for an easy, refreshing look. In summer, buy a bouquet of dahlias mixed with ivy. In the fall, pick bouquets that are bright, bold and rich. Calla lilies, hydrangeas and deep colored roses are particularly ideal for autumn.

Style yet Soothe Your Bedroom: If you have a wood floor in your bedroom, remove your rugs to make your room feel fresh and open. Use white bedding, particularly linen embroidered sheets, to enhance the summer feel of your bedroom. Cotton fabrics of subtle colors are perfect for autumn bedding.
