Bed Head

It's Hump Day, which means we're at the crest of the work week. I'll admit, I had a heck of a time getting out of bed this morning! It was just so darn warm and cozy under those blankets.  As I hit the snooze alarm for the second time, I contemplated today's blog, the heck with writing about 2013 color of the year, or the amazing fabrics I reviewed yesterday. Lets talk beds!  After all, it certainly was on my mind this morning!

With 20 years of designing interiors under my belt, I have stumbled upon some amazing beds. I'll bet waking up on Hump Day in one of these beauties would make it impossible to get out of bed!

The New Traditionalist Bed No. Twenty One 

The New Traditionalist ........

A Connecticut Company!

This amazing handmade bed  is constructed with North American Black Walnut and Maple. 

Shown here with Bleached Walnut frame and a Dusty Beige Shearling upholstered headboard,

the turned posts feature plum leather detailing. 

Can I just say O.M.G.!

Somerset Bay Frenchtown Bed

Somerset Bay...
Can't you just see yourself curled up in this beauty?
Of course, my linens would be sprayed with Lavender Linen Water from In O'Scents of Madison!  
I just love Somerset Bay, their pieces have classic lines with modern hues.  All their pieces are available in an array of unique finishes.  Here's the best part, all the finishes are 'flavors'!  This amazing bed's finish is Key Lime Pie. 
Yum!

Theodore Alexander Kalahari Panelled Bed 

 Theodore Alexander 

This ebonised and Kalahari panelled, with its the curved head and footboard, surely could have been piece found in the Belvedere in NYC.  

A master piece with its inlaid with faux crocodile skin panels, stainless steel mouldings, mounted on stainless steel feet, is simply a work of art. 

Perfect for an Art Deco inspired Design.

Here's to Hump Day!

Success in the New Year.....

I kicked off the new year with my dear friend Mary Jones, as a guest on the Mary Jones Show.  Mary, along with her guest co-host and life coach Marge Piccini, devoted the entire show to Success.

Mary started the show with the burning question how do you define success .... Marge responded in her usual fashion, with an eloquent, poignant and insightful answer.  I sat back in my seat, sighed a little and thought...."oh boy, Mary, hope you're not looking for a great life lesson from me?!"


Mary then turned to me and asked "how about you Lisa .... define success" I smiled and said the first thing that came to mind.......

"well I guess it depends on the day. Today, success was that I folded a load of laundry and all the socks matched!" 

Honest to Pete I did! Yes, it got a few laughs, but sometimes success is just the simple things in life! I did follow up with my true successes in life, my marriage and my two beautiful kids.  Its amazing that it all falls into place when your priorities are in check. 

Yet even on those successful days when the socks are paired, I get out of the house on time, and I somehow make it through an entire day in white pants without spilling coffee on them ... its not such a bad idea to reconnect with our life goals.  

So as we venture into 2013, lets share our successes and goals! Curious what some of mine are?
