Winged Bed with Modern Sophistication

The modern winged sophistication of this bed by Gus Modern is so inviting.  Although, the Carmichael Bed obviously has a masculine, mid-century modern feel with the textured tweed fabric and clean lines, it also feels very classic and traditional.  I really love a fully upholstered bed; it feels so luxurious and makes a nice statement piece in any bedroom.  This bed could feel ultra-feminine with beautiful, pastel floral bedding or maintain its masculine style with a bold, striped duvet.  The Gus Modern Carmichael Bed uses FSC-Certified wood and starts at $1950.  – Samantha

Beach on the mind...

We are quickly approaching the completion of our PURE Beach Dream Home so I have the beach on my mind.  Here are some beautiful beach inspired pictures from my Pinterest - Beach Living Board.

Have a beachy day!

DIY Island Pendant Recover!
{ PURE Beach Dream Home, post #10 }

This week I covered plain white pendant shades with our Bud Pattern Organic Fabric in Cayenne/Ink/Natural.  It was easier than I thought.  First I cut the fabric to size - about 2 inches bigger than the size of the shade.  I then ironed the fabric and used Stitch Witchery to hems 3 sides of the fabric (top, bottom, and one side). I used a spray adhesive on the back of the fabric and rolled it around the drum shade - smoothing out the wrinkles as I went around the shade.  I lined up the bottom of the shade perfectly with the bottom of the fabric - This made sure the pattern was straight.  At the top I made small slits to fit around the metal rungs, I then used fabric glue and folded the excess fabric over the top of the shade.  I also re-enforced the side seam with the fabric glue.  They turned out so cute!  These pendants will hang in the PURE Beach House above the 11ft kitchen island.  I can't wait to see them up!
