My favorite room.

Do you have a favorite room? This old London bedroom of Rita Konig’s is among my very favorite. I am all about the floral/plaid mix. English country with a modern twist, don’t you think? I can’t wait to own a home so I can cover the walls in Cole & Son wallpaper. A girl can dream…

The Sofa Hunt…

John and I are on a sofa hunt for our new apartment and Rita Konig’s decorating adventures have served as major inspiration.  Above is the before and after of her own beautiful sofa—isn’t it spectacular?  While we could run to IKEA and buy a reasonable slipcover sofa (if you swap out the legs and throw some pillows on the white Karlstad it isn’t so bad…) I’d still much rather have an older piece and save up over time to have it reupholstered.  What do you think ladies, dress up the new or reinvent the old?
