A silver-plated side table and a cast bronze desk lamp help establish an atmosphere of elegance in this wonderful guest bedroom. Note the built-in desk is wrapped in calfskin. (2001)
Having a little desk for writing in the bedroom is particularly romantic. I love the detail in this one - the flowers, the lam, the delicate chair. It's not overly fussy and feminine, but it is full of romance and light.
Know how to carve out your own space. Whether its a corner reading chair, a writing table, a work bench, a window seat, know what makes you feel at home. For me its always a corner to curl up in with tea and a tall stack of books.
This window desk combines bronze and chrome to terrific effect. The bronze lamp doesn't detract from the view through the window, and the chrome table catches the light. This is a great example of how to mix a matte and a shiny finish.
