Roundup: 10 Antique Desks For Modern Feminine Bedrooms
I'm loving this colorful, girly bedroom, whose Louis XV French bureau desk looks perfectly at home in the lively, modern space. Inspired, I wanted to see what other antique or antique-look desks might complement a modern, feminine bedroom.
While I tend to think that bedrooms should be limited to sleeping space, it's often impossible to pare down furniture in small spaces.
Crave Worthy: Jayson Vintage Chair and Ottoman
I've never met a French furnishing I didn't like. The French are relentless purveyors of style, and they win me over again and again, be it with a Chanel frock or a Philippe Starck chair. The Jayson Home & Garden Vintage Chair and Ottoman ($2,995), seating from mid-20th century France reupholstered in dark gray linen, is no exception either.

Balmania!!!
If you know nouveau Balmain, you're familiar with its luxe, rocker aesthetic, and even more ferocious collection of footwear. Thanks to Balmain’s Christophe Decarnin, the Paris fashion house will get even bigger — if that's even possible – with recent collaborations. Balmain took its three-year relationship with Giuseppe Zanottti and signed an official women’s footwear license with the shoe designer.
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.

All of the furniture in the line features classical looks combined with durable construction and one or more of the following characteristics: organic textiles, recycled materials, reclaimed materials, and/or sustainable construction.
My absolute favorite piece in the line is the French Chair ($1,695), which features a classic Louis XV shape.
Weird Furniture: 1960s Female Form Fiberglass Chair
What is it with men and designing female-shaped furniture? At first, I thought it was kind of funny. But really, the sex-centric furniture is just everywhere these days; it's getting kind of ridiculous.
Crave Worthy: Antique Ebonized and Turquoise Silk Chairs
I love a good plush seat, but sometimes I can't help but sacrifice comfort for good looks. And, that time is now. The Antique Ebonized and Turquoise Silk Chairs ($1,300 for pair) from Paris Hotel Boutique don't look one bit comfortable, but they're just so ravishing.
Open House: Your Parents' Style
This is a snapshot of my mother's living room, filled with antiques and plenty of outdated '80s/'90s textiles. Were she to redecorate today, I can guarantee she'd opt for a loose, more livable space. But, her taste remains colorful, traditional, and sophisticated.
