Inspired: Fab's Bohemian Rhapsody
I was intrigued by Fab's trend alert, Bohemian Rhapsody, which she describes thusly: "Bohemian style is poetic and a true bohemian rocks the theme utterly, completely." So, to follow this trend into the shelter world, I found some pieces that would work well with her finds, such as this Tracy Reese comforter, which is part of her plenty Home by Tracy Reese Fall 2008 collection.

Coveted Crib: Balinese Dream
If you're susceptible to daydreaming about packing it all in and running off to a tropical island then I advise you to avoid this slideshow, as it will tempt you to book the first plane to Bali. If you have a strong will, though, check out the home of the Hardy family, who live in a five-story pagoda home that uses repurposed, recycled, and creatively rethought materials to create a gorgeous, dreamy home. You've got to see it to believe it!

Home Library: Style and Substance
For 20 years, Elle Decor's chic issues have offered readers ideas and inspiration for their homes. I've been collecting a giant stack of dog-eared Elle Decor issues for the last 10 years, so I'm excited to announce that the best of the magazine can now be found in Style and Substance ($45) by Margaret Russell and the editors of Elle Decor. I was thrilled to receive a (personally autographed!) copy of Style and Substance in my mailbox, and couldn't wait to review the book.
Get the Look: Roxie's Bedroom in Eastwick
Roxie, Rebecca Romijn's character in witchy, sexy new ABC drama Eastwick, is an eccentric artist whose bohemian ways are reflected in her house's furnishings. Her bedroom especially rocks a boho-bordello vibe that suits this widowed mommy (who's dating a much younger man) quite well. To check out her boudoir, and to see how you can get the look yourself, check out the slideshow.
Roundup: Neutral Sofas
I adore this sofa, which is featured in The Invention of Lying. It has great, clean lines and a modern shape, but still looks cozy, and the neutral linen color makes it easy to decorate around. Neutral sofas are a great building block for a number of styles, from classic country to bohemian chic.
How-To: Create a Cozy Corner
While the brick walls and built-in seating areas on the perimeter of this living room have the potential for chilliness (in looks as well as temperature), this possibility is assuaged by the super-cozy seating area tucked into the corner.
Creating your own cozy corner is a perfect way to transition into Fall weather. And, if you have kids returning to school, you can make this corner serve double duty as a reading corner as well.
Roundup: Tassels
While I'm fairly certain that anything Mad Men's Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks) reclines against will look gorgeous, this pillow is an instant eye-catcher even without the redhead's influence. The tassels are the secondary scene stealer here.
Tassels, which can be found everywhere from curtains to pillows, are both a pretty and functional decoration.
Do You Own a Kilim?
Whether used as a pouf, floor pillow, or rug, kilims, flat tapestry-woven carpets or rugs, can add some bohemian flair to an otherwise classic room. Do you decorate with one at your home?
