COTE DE TEXAS: Elle Decor & Beds & The Peak of Chic!

Elle Decor & Beds & The Peak of Chic!

 

The new Elle Decor magazine is out – celebrating twenty years of publication.  Wow.  Twenty years, really?   Time flies when you’re looking at beautiful houses.  This month one of the standouts is a new design by President Obama’s interior designer (yes!) Michael Smith.  It’s the cover story.  But the one picture that really caught my eye was this one:

Muriel Brandolini’s design – using a lit a la polonaise in the master bedroom aka living room  – gorgeous, no?     I am smitten with these beds and in fact just ordered the copy (this one was custom made in France) from Anthropologie for my daughter’s room which we are redecorating.  This time, she is letting me help her – last time, she did it all herself – so she is getting a definite French vibe in there.

This one.  We ordered a twin bed because it doesn’t come in double and the queen size is just too big for her tiny room.  Right now I have a room full of West Elm furniture to sell.  If you live in Houston and want a bed, end table and bookshelf from West Elm, bring a truck and a few movers over!

And in Skirted Roundtable news –  Linda, Megan and I are SOOOOOOOOOO excited to have Jennifer Boles aka The Peak of Chic join us this week.  We can’t wait to ask her a million questions.   Look for the interview to be up on the web site around Wednesday or Thursday this week.

  3. Hi Joni. My daughter had just left for college but I bought "her" the Anthro bed anyway. Twin is great size to push daybed like against wall. Haven't draped it yet...just love its lines. I wish I had more rooms for more beds. Trish

  5. Hi Joni:
    Just came from the bookstore & did not see the New Elle Decor yet. I'll be on the lookout though! Regarding Rachel, do you know what happened to her main stores? When I got back to ATL her Lenox store had closed. P.S. will send you a picture of my chairs once I find our camera. Hope you did not work too hard this weekend!!

  15. That bed took my breath away when I scrolled to this post. I LOVE that look so much. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I don't know how I could ever not be in love with frenchy styled interiors. They are just enchanting. =)

  17. Love that bed! It's giving me ideas, might be a bad thing, at least as far as Mr. Mise en scène is concerned! Looking forward to your posting on the finished room.
