Love how the purses are displayed as decor - photo via La Dolce Vita |
Anne also does a fab print of a Kelly bag, and it comes with your choice of background color. I love them all, but I love the one with the Hermes orange background the best!
You can affor4ed this Kelly bag!!! Anne Harwell at Etsy |
I got four of them and used them in my revamped bedroom. I framed them in black with white mats (frames from a big box store) to play back to the black trim on the lamps, and the black trim on the accent wall.

I upholstered it in green linen (from fabric.com - they are out of what I use, but I gave you the link for something similar). I purposefully chose black trim on the hotel bedding (from an eBay store), with the oversize black monograms in a font called Tango (done by Uptown Embroidery).
I used extra green linen to make a bed skirt. The upholstered headboard and slip covered bench are done in Schumacher Nanjing in Jade Green. The headboard is very affordable from Country Door. I had the double piping removed by the Leonels the upholsterer, The chevron Missoni style rugs come from a big box store, and I put two together to make a larger rug,
The lamps are vintage that I painted to look like alabaster, and the oversize shades came from Lowes.
The nightstands were a close out that I got about six years ago, and have been painted a couple of time.
The color is Benjamin Moore Kelly Green.
The flower ball chandelier is discontinued, but it came from perch. and I am sure they could find you something similar.
It takes a village to make a pretty room, and I thank Anne Harwell and Mitchell Settoon for their help, and rue magazine for including me in the current issue May/June 2012 issue.
Next time I will share some sources in my living room.

Love this post! It doesn't get much better than those two French fashion houses for elegance and style. Personally, would love to have a custom Hermes trunk as a coffee table...I guess it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?
ReplyDeleteI really like your bedroom....great color choices and combinations. I've always been a Chanel no5 girl, ever since my glamorous aunt introduced it to me when I was probably about 4. As for adding it to the decor of my house, I took one of my empty bottles and filled it with water colored to match the eau de parfum and mounted the bottle in a 5x7 black shadowbox. Love your Hermes purses!
ReplyDeleteReally amazing what something so simple can do, isn't it?
