Modern Upholstered Bed from B & B Italia by Antonio Citterio

Febo Apta Modern Upholstered Bed from B & B Italia

This modern bed with upholstered headboard by Antonio Citterio for B & B Italia 2009 Collection (Febo Apta Maxalto) has an elegant upholstered headboard and the added comfort of two backrest cushions. The modern styled bed is dressed in the 2009 hot color family: purple (deep rich plum and a full-bodied red wine ). This  Antonio Citterio  designed bed is elegantly modern, sexy, and very feminine. He has been able to skillfully interpret classic design styles with contemporary flair.

We like this bed in modern styled homes as well as homes or bedrooms looking for an updated Hollywood regency style.

Serena & Lily Delphine Duvet

Serena & Lily Delphine Duvet

If you love feminine, romantic (slightly shabby chic) style then you probably already know about Serena & Lily, and love their home decor products – if you don’t you will; once you take a look at all of the very pretty  Serena & Lily linens, and other decor.   One of our favorite bedding collections is the Delphine. We love the classic peacock pattern and the lovely heather (looks almost like a soft lilac) and mocha coloring.
