Design Hunter | Chrome Bed at Leslie Hindman

I'm browsing through the catalog for the Leslie Hindman Marketplace auction, set to start at 10 AM tomorrow, and tracking items as if I really have the money to pay for them.  The chrome canopy bed, pictured below, has me lusting after Herbert Kasper's bedroom, featured in the April issue of Architectural Digest.  I love that it skews a little more on the masculine side and that he incorporated so many traditional elements like the blue and white lamp, wool blanket and schweitzer linens with the modern chrome bed.  Isn't it fabulous?  For the full list of items on the auction block, go to Leslie Hindman.

Summer's Flowers...

I'm having a floral moment right now, and no bashful blooms, but strong, bold patterns. So imagine my delight when I saw this picture of Summer Thornton's super chic Lincoln Park office in the latest issue of CS Interiors.  The office features exposed brick walls with Designers Guild's bright, feminine Orangerie wallpaper.  Add in a stylish wicker chair and a chrome lamp and you have the perfect mix of pattern and texture.  I dream of one day decking out the walls, curtains and bedding in my guest room with an all-over floral print - it's granny chic, but I don't mind one bit.  Until then, I'm seriously tempted to bid on one of these floral still life paintings in today's Leslie Hindman Market Place auction....
