Luxury Bedrooms Illustrated – Get Inspired

Jackie Von Tobel inspires with her gorgeous illustrated luxury bedding, furniture and drapery illustrations. Below is a sampling of Jackie’s artwork – which will be included in her new book “The Design Directory of Bedding & Bedroom Furnishings” due out in Fall 2009. The coordinating drapery and window treatments shown are from “Design Directory of Window Treatments ” – a favorite resource among interior designers and decorators.

Aren’t they all gorgeous? Makes one wish for limitless bedrooms in which to showcase each of these beauties! I can’t wait until Jackie’s new book debuts. If you can’t either, then head over to Jackie’s blog, “Jackie Blue Home” , to get updates, and while there take a look around. Jackie has many inspirational decorating posts that I know you’ll love as much as I do.
