Discount Shopping
I know, some people would rather not spend the time picking over a discount store’s merchandise where they only have a few of each item, however, I highly encourage it. You can find great items that would otherwise be sold at some of the top department and specialty stores, but at a much lower price. My husband and I recently took a trip to T.J. Maxx to look for desk organizers and decor for my daughter’s birthday present. We snapped some photos of some of the lovely items they had that I though you might enjoy for your boudoir, office, dining room, patio, etc. As I headed for the aisle…
The Littler Boudoir: Dollhouse Boudoir
This is for the little girls…or those who are still little girls at heart. One thing I never got to do with my daughter is decorate a doll house, which I regret. When I was younger, my best friend had a wooden doll house that she and her mum decorated. It was darling. They wallpapered each room and furnished it beautifully (they both have lovely homes, so this is no surprise). In fact, she still has the dollhouse and plans to redecorate it with her daughter. What a great bonding experience. If I have another little girl in the future (as mine is “too old” to enjoy a dollhouse now…
Drying Off
Raise your hand if you like these towels (I’m raising my hand…you are too, right?). I discovered these on Costco.com today. Aren’t they lovely? Currently the brown/cream towels are the only ones that would match my boudoir bathroom, but in my dream boudoir, my bathroom would be black and white with accents of pink. The chain link pattern would be perfect for my dream boudoir bathroom. I usually try to stick with all white towels because they feel really clean (and because my husband is like Jackson Pollock with bleach), but these are irresistable. The set of six (two bath, two hand, two wash) retail for $44.99 on Costco.com. Do…
Reclaiming My Throne
I really do love a dressing table/vanity in my boudoir. Not only do I think it looks charming, but it makes getting ready more of a sacred ritual. Ever since my vanity was destroyed from being broken twice during moves (once by my dad and once by my husband…if they’re reading this, they should still feel guilty because I actually shed tears over it), I feel like part of my womanhood is missing (is this possible?). I loved my vanity. My mother bought it for me at an antique store when I was a teenager. It was like I was sitting upon a throne when I was sitting there putting…
Thinking Outside the Boudoir: Annie
For those of you just recently visiting My Little Boudoir, this post is part of a monthly series called Thinking Outside the Boudoir, where I share my fascination of homes from the movies. While some may not be practical for everyday life, or represent my overall ideal decor, I would love to spend some time in them, even just for a night. In some it is the decor that I fancy. In others it’s the architecture or floor plan. And in some I think it’s my fondness for the characters. The movie home that I want to share today is one of my childhood favorites, Annie. Growing up, my grandfather…
Pop Art
I just love this pop art from the Room Service store! They would ad such a fabulous modern twist to the boudoir. 1
Tufted Buttons
If you haven’t already guessed, by the looks of the header on mylittleboudoir.com, I just adore a room decorated with tufted buttons. This is a great look for a boudoir, whether it’s a headboard, a slipper chair, wallpaper or another piece that you fancy. Here are some inspiring looks…enjoy! 1
Sunday’s Best: Chinoiserie Chic
From here on out, each Sunday, I intend to share with you a post from one (or maybe a few) of my favorite blogs. This Sunday, I would like to introduce: The owner of Chinoiserie Chic is Beth, who also is part of Style Redux (both of which, I highly recommend you visit). I first discovered Chinoiserie Chic back in December. One of the recent posts at the time was My Christmas Decorating – Dressing Room. Even though today we are almost a year away from another Christmas, the post is still appropriate to share, because what you are about to see is her fabulous boudoir (or dressing room as…

Congratulations to Arlene from California! She is the winner of the vintage Chanel print ad. This little beauty, measuring 8″x11″ and slightly yellowed from age, will look simply glorious once framed in black and placed upon the wall of a boudoir. Thank you to each of you who entered… 0
Celebrity Boudoir: Tyra Banks
This month’s Celebrity Boudoir belongs to Tyra Banks. The special part about this boudoir, is that it’s actually her “dressing room” at work. Wouldn’t we all love to have such a place to get away to at work? It was designed by the very talented Ron Norsworthy. 1
