How sweet is my husband to send me a link that would inspire me so, that I chose it for today’s post? The photos that you see below, show off the interior of Cindi Gallop’s (CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld.com, former chairwoman of advertising giant BBH, and self-proclaimed feminist) home.

Toile…New Orleans Style
One look that I like for a boudoir is a good toile print. I stumbled across this New Orleans Toile few years back in a Domino magazine (the discontinuation of which, I still mourn). At a store called Hazelnut New Orleans, you can find this New Orleans Toile print on a variety of products, such …
Upcycling: Granny Gold to Girly Glamour
I love it when I find a garage sale where you truly feel like you’re stepping back in time (as long as it’s from a fabulous era). I stopped at a garage sale this past fall, and it was clear that everything belonged to an elderly woman who had held onto her precious items her …
Sir Cecil
If you’re like me, you probably know Sir Cecil Beaton best for his photography… However, he was also known and very well respected for his work as a costume designer, artist, set designer and published diarist.

I first found this lucite chiavari chair on perch-home.com, …
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
On a recent emergency trip to my local Costco for bacon (yes…I said, “emergency trip for bacon”…to my husband, if you’re out of bacon it’s an emergency), I came across one of those fabulous “treasure hunt” finds that Costco is famous for. In the center of the warehouse was a road show with mostly art, …
Upcycling: Chanel Perfume Bottle to Oil Candle
This is a do-it-yourself (diy) project that I thought of a few years back. I had some empty Chanel perfume bottles that I could not bear to throw away (or recycle), so I decided to upcycle them instead and display them in my boudoir. While I would find it perfectly suitable to simply display …
A little blue box…the way to a woman’s heart (ok, not really, but it helps)
This Tiffany & Co. porcelain box is a lovely gift that I received from a co-worker a few years back. I absolutely love it and have deemed it a must-have for the boudoir. I don’t see that they are still selling this size on the Tiffany & Co. website, but they do have a mini …
