Bombshell Boudoir Part 2

If you remember a few posts back, my muse for my bedroom is Brigitte Bardo and a muted pink, grey color palette with hits of gold and black. Very sexy and modern glam.




Part 2 of this post focuses on a sitting area that is part of our bedroom. This area will feature a sofa, lucite coffee table, flokati rug, dresser/credenza and lighting.

I purchased a similar 1960s Baker down-filled sofa recently at an estate sale. It was in the "no-no room" so basically had never been used and was in prestine condition. The fabric is a pale ballet slipper silk damask.


My dresser/credenza is very similar with an Asian vibe. I purchased mine from a wonderful store in Birmingham, AL called Soho Retro.




Once again, my estate sale adventures paid off. I purchased a 1970s Lucite coffee table in near mint condition.



A Flokati rug always warms and softens a space.

I want to use harder more industrial style lighting to counter balance all the glam. There is a fine line between Grandma and Glam........no offense Grandma.

Bombshell Boudoir

My current project is the Master Bedroom. As you have seen from my previous post, I like a fun/casual atmosphere in most of my rooms. For the bedroom, I want to go a little more tranquil and sexy. My muse for this project is the one and only goddess of sultry sexiness: Bridgitte Bardo

Here are a few other visionary inspirations that I will pull from:

love the softness




love the layers and hits of gold



Love the industrial vibe of the lighting (chandelier and table) coupled with the muted tones


If you do not read this magazine...START.




My color palette will be a mix of ballet slipper pinks, soft grays, a hit of black and possibly one pop of color. I plan on keeping the walls a creamy white (such as Pocket Watch White by Ralph Lauren). The fabrics, lamps and furniture/accessories will be a perfect juxtaposition of clean lines and modern glamour.






For the bedding:
A classic white down comforter from Ralph Lauren Home. The Stella Quilt from West Elm in Oatmeal (pinky undertone). It has a subtle shimmer inspired by 1920s Fortuny pleated fabrics. Lucca Shams from Anthropologie in a soft washed velvet with pink/taupe stitching and Belle Epaque sheets in white (best sheets ever). White Flokati pillows coupled with a gold metallic leather and ponyhair bolster pillow (sounds uber cra-cra but trust me.......it works)

I will use these amazing Italian Murano glass lamps purchased at a local estate sale. They are also featured in the book Glamorous Rooms by Jan Showers. It's hard to see in the picture but the glass is full of controlled bubbles flecked with 24K gold dust.


Other items will include a black lacquer ornate mirror, new bedside tables (undetermined at this time).







Something I still need to figure out is overhead lighting. We currently have ceiling fans in both the sleeping area and sitting area. I CAN'T stand ceiling fans. They must come out and need to be replaced by a really cool overhead fixture (maybe like the one pictured in the inspiration photo above). Pass along any ideas.

Unfortunately you will not see the real life "reveal" for several weeks. We are lining up the painters now. As mentioned above, there is a seating area that is part of our bedroom. I will feature it's "vision" sometime later this week as to not make this post go on forever. Hope you enjoyed!
