This evening I was getting lost in the land of Flickr when I came upon a set by Eclectic Gipsyland titled Roulottes Which is french for trailers.
My girlfriend Debra is a Gypsy at heart and I am sending her good Gypsy Dreams for her big day tomorrow. Here are some wonderful images to fill your head. Here are a few of my favorite.
Today I discovered Megan Bogonovich. I found her creative cake toppers on Etsy, her store is http://melabo.etsy.com I have been researching cake toppers since the kiln I just recently purchased came with about 7-8 cake topper molds. I have everything from humans to mice bride and groom sets. I love how Megan plays God and creates new creatures. Her web site has some photos of her other sculpture pieces that are a wonderful marriage of Ernest Haeckel Art Forms in Nature meets Alice in Wonderland. I think I will draw from her creativity for some of my new assemblage art.
Recently I decided to create a new headboard for a bedroom. I had never made a headboard, but was able to figure it out easily. I looked at a few magazine clippings I had saved and also looked online for how to articles. I decided on a large tall headboard. That fit under my window in my bedroom. I also decided to cover the back of my headboard. I like a real finished look. My husband Brad also attached the headboard to our bedframe rather than our wall. I found my fabric and foam at UFO Fabrics in Vista, CA. They also will cover your buttons for you for about 25cents.
Here are a couple inspirational headboards as well.
I love the idea of a lit headboard. I think it would be so cool to do LED lighting that could changed with your mood. This headboard uses a resin panel by 3 Form
I found this informational video by Grace Bonney from Design*Sponge after I completed my headboard but it is very useful.
So recently I scored some great vintage finds including bedding that I gave to one of my best girl friends. The bedding had this wonderful red and brown pattern and now that those colors are on my radar and I am seeing red and brown everywhere.
Here are some red and brown inspirational images. They first is from Upsa Daisy's one of my Flickr contacts. I just love the gorgeous weathered door with the red fall leaves.
The next images are decor ideas from one of my favorite home decor stores West Elm. They show lots of red and brown for fall and winter.
