DIY: Upholstered Headboard

From Sarah:

Some people swear by padded headboards, essential for comfortable bedtime reading. And upholstered headboards are one of the easiest DIY projects around; for step-by-step instructions on how to make your own, go to Real Simple.

Alternatively, buy a simple headboard and create a slipcover with fabric by the yard (or a staple gun if you’re in a rush).

Accessories: Melin Tregwynt Welsh Tapestry Blankets

From Julie:

Ilse Crawford used classic Welsh tapestry blankets in her design for the restaurant at the Olde Bell Inn, draping them over high-backed settles from Labour and Wait and fastening them with bridle leather belts. Similar blankets can be found at Melin Tregwynt, a family-owned woollens mill in operation since 1912.

House Call: Ilse Crawford Olde Bell Inn

From Julie:

Ilse Crawford recently revamped the interiors of the Olde Bell Inn, an Elizabethan-era coaching inn located in the bucolic Berkshire village of Hurley in the English countryside. Crawford covered the floors with handwoven rush matting, installed Bestlite wall lamps, furnished the rooms with Ercol Windsor rocking chairs, and added a dash of red to the neutral color scheme with a Roberts Revival radio.

Storage: Euro-Style Wall Shelves

From Sarah:

We’ve admired the Magnetique shelves  by Swen Krause for German company Nils Holger Moorman for a while now; unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a retail source. We’ve rounded up some other shelving that can be ordered directly from the manufacturers.

magnetique-detail-1_01.jpg
Below: Although these metal ItBoxes are not as easily rearrangeable as the magnetic shelves, they can be fixed to the wall in any format.  The ItBoxes are made of finely polished, color-anodized aluminum, come in 11 different sizes and 7 different colors, and are available from the Swiss firm ItDesign.

Below: On a more orthodox note, these straightforward Clever Wall Drawers designed by Markus Boge and Patrick Frey would work well in a variety of settings: beside a bed, in a hallway, or in a row above a desk. Available in four colors; small size is 89.60 Euros and the large size is 97.90 Euros from Manufactum.
