Since I started my blog I’ve become the resident decorating expert among my friends and I’m often called on for advice. My friend Kim recently moved into a fabulous loft in Soho and asked me to help her with ideas for her bedroom, which she wants to decorate on a budget. Below is an inspiration board along with some ideas I put together for her.

This Spring interior design darling Kelly Wearstler will deliver her signature style to the masses with the launch of a new line of bedding, tabletop linens and throws in collaboration with Sferra. The collection will exude all the glamourous details one would expect from Kelly Wearstler-luxe cashmere throws, hand embroidery, gorgeous silk fabrics with metallic threads, beautiful beading and more.

These are so perfect for a stylish entertainer to serve drinks in at his or her next cocktail party. These would also make a great gift. Who doesn’t love anything with their monogram on it? Totally chic! And you can’t beat the price…just $24 for a set of four!…
