Recently, I was contacted by Jesyca Durchin of Dreamhouse Designer to participate as a guest judge in an interior design contest - it was a lot of fun! Using my blog as inspiration, approximately 100 designers digitally created gypsy-style rooms. There were so many great entries, and I had the difficult task of choosing the top five. Here are my picks below (in no particular order). Visit this link to read my comments on the rooms. Do you have a favorite?
I love the tradition behind Moroccan wedding blankets. The bride-to-be's mother typically begins weaving the blanket when the girl is young, as part of her dowry. They are woven of undyed wool and cotton, and are often decorated with bands of colorful talismanic symbols and sequins. These decorative items are said to protect the couple from evil and also to reflect the light from the sun and nighttime fires.
I am in love (lust?) with this lampshade from Victorian Trading Co. It would be perfection in my boudoir....
