Today rounds up a week-long series on decorating a room fit for a wee world traveler. In the last post, I showed you how I made a customized typography basket and sewed a simple Sumo banner.

Make your own typography basket
In last Monday's post I revealed the completion of Sweet Boy's room. One element of the room that visitors have commented on is the sweet little basket that you see on the floor to the right of the dresser. Typography is so popular right now. Both Pottery Barn and Ballard have several items in their catalogs. But as you may know, I always like to put my own twist on great ideas. Make your own typography basket Last April I attended a really great garage sale and found this sweet basket for ... View the Post

A Makeover Metamorphosis for a Song
Last October a sweet bloggy friend of mine, Brooke, of Velvet and Linen fame, sent an invitation to attend the grand opening of her beautiful store, Giannetti Home. While at the event I noticed an entire wall of books had been covered in simple parchment paper. Hand-lettered titles were added to a few of the spines.

Blissful Treasures
The hardest thing about Bohemian Bliss was selecting just a few treasures to take home. There were so many wonderful things! Here are my Blissful Treasures. My mindset right now is furnishing the Fashionista's new apartment. I picked up this sweet plate and great napkins I thought she would love. However, I am keeping the stamp and vintage floral frogs.
