Do You Hang High or Do You Hang Low?

One great idea in design is

a writing desk on one side

of the bed instead of a coordinating nightstand.

Who really needs 'matchie-matchie' anyway?

Matching is for the 'anybodies' of this world.

Because anybody can do it.

Right?

And besides it gives you more room for more 'stuff.'

I have a writing desk next to my bed that doubles as a night stand.

Now I would never do it any other way.

Everything to me is super.

Except,

the hanging pendant shade

over the middle of the bed.

It disturbs me.

Just wait till next week... 

and I might show you what really disturbs me.

LOL

I would rather see a contemporary swing arm lamp

peeking out through the draped wall

on the readers side of the bed..

This room is really nice.

I guess it is the black.

I love black.

The greek key, the zebra, it is all very sharp.

Grrrrrreat settee and console.

What do you think of these actual windows???

I would have loved to see the home.

This wild white chair ( I believe) is from

Century Furniture's Oscar de la Renta Collection.

Look behind the curtains 

next to the mirrored mantel.

* I did a post on the two chairs in the forefront.

A few of Dorothy Draper's favorites.

This designer has featured designer shoes

in designer boxes

with designer labels behind these designer draperies.

Clever.

I think......?

I hope this is the sitting room in a bedroom.

Sublime.

No?

Love these dining ( wing ) chairs.

The velvet is one of my all time favorite colors.

A sable taupe.

I LOVE ART HUNG IN THIS WAY!!!

( i say this room is truly DIVINE )

Would you hang your art as low as this?

If not why?

*What do you 'likie' in this post?

It is almost our NEW YEAR.

tic toc tic toc tic toc

What will you be doing?

*My design tip regarding this post;

If you do use a writing desk for a night stand

remember that it will be desk or dining height, approx 29-30 " high.

It you use a different height for your night stand

and you are using matching lamps in the room,

they will still be different heights when you look at the room.

That bothers me, so make sure to get the pieces to be very close in height.

Stay within an inch or two (at the very most) as I have done in my own home.

OR....you can use a task lamp on the desk ( there are some gorgeous ones),

and a lamp that makes a statement on the night stand.

This is a sharp and sophisticated look.
