Debbie Carlos's giant "Woods" poster is dreamy and a bit mysterious. I'd splurge on a giant gilt frame and hang this over the bed.
These pillows manage to feel organic and luxe at once. I especially love that dove gray.

The blush pink in this painting is just the right amount of feminine without being over the top.

I am a huge fan of these delicate glass candle holders from CB2. I'd buy several to group on the dresser. And the price is great too!
