Mod Pad





Above are photos of designer, Karim Rashid's, home. It is mod heaven! I am in love with the pink two-seater love seat, and check out the white desk - it looks like the front end of a control panel that would be on the Spaceship Enterprise! Karim Rashid is one of the most prolific designers of his generation. Over 3000 designs in production, over 300 awards and working in over 35 countries attest to Karim's legend of design. You can find his home products at www.karimrashidshop.com.

Vintage Bedrooms

The bed cover is a "wow"!
These top two photos are taken from the book, Bazaar Style: Decorating with Market and Vintage Finds. This book is a must read - one of my favorites for vintage decorating ideas. Great rooms.
Settees are one of my absolute favorite home decor pieces, especially vintage settees. The cushions on this are so pretty.
Vintage cottage chic - I'm crazy for the birdcage on the dresser corner! I'm looking for a pink vintage birdcage. I guess I could just buy a birdcage and spray paint it, huh?

Looove the vintage wallpaper! Did you notice it on the drawers? Cute!
In this photo, it's that adorable vintage blue desk and lovely scroll mirror that grab me.
Photo from Livingetc. I love the drawer chest!


Vintage eiderdowns and Redoute rose prints - shabby chic heaven!
Nursery with a vintage Eames rocker and vintage blocks.
From the book New London Style by Chloe Grimshaw, which showcases london's home decor style. I would love to put my makeup on at this vanity desk every morning.
Found in Better Homes and Gardens October 1968 magazine.

Retro Living

The vintage bed and wallpaper in this photo is what caught my eye!
A display of vintage mirrors.
This chalkboard is great against the brown credenza (I'm crazy for vintage credenzas)!
The color of this vintage chair is scrumptious!

Lovely fabrics, lovely rugs, lovely sofa, lovely shoes!
A lovely shade of lavender goes wonderful with the light green vintage dresser. This dresser is cool even with the missing drawer.
Aqua blue, one of my favorite colors for vintage furniture.
Another great corner! Check out the vintage "Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club" jacket!

The mini panton chairs, tulip table and Castelli Componibili storage units are fabulous! Now the little ones have their own spot to eat.
