Our new Paris Boudoir at The Whistling Elk is showing off our new Pine Cone Hill bedding line. The bedding in the bottom left of the picture is Bella Blue which is draped over our pretty Caracole french ottoman and the queen bed is wearing a combo outfit Madeline Cafe au lait quilt and a Louisa Ivory duvet. I am in love with the Louisa ivory duvet! This room is painted in Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray and when the morning sun shines in it is beautiful!

When I opened the Little Paris shop I did not have time to finish some of the details the way that i wanted…
One of the details that i left undone was to get a bedskirt for the queen bed in the Paris Boudoir….it ended up on the back burner because Christmas was coming and there were just so many other things to do and noone seemed to notice the makeshift skirt that i threw on it for the time being so i let it slide…
But i kept it on my list and recently found a pretty voile sheer drapery fabric with a tone on tone stripe (2″wide). It was 118″ wide and relatively inexpensive. So i bought three yards with the plan to make 2 drapery panels and the bedskirt.
i just put the new bedskirt on our Paris Boudoir Bed…..its so pretty and sexy.
We merely cut the fabric to the length we wanted (long enough to drag on the floor), added in a hem allowance (about 1/2″) and another 2″ at the top to sew a casing for elastic.
It was simple and cost effective. I love that it is dragging on the floor and that the gathering is so full and luxurious. And because it’s a voile it has body and a little shimmer!

I just finished painting the “Paris Apartment” in our Little Paris shop…
it’s a beautiful shade of pink called Cotton Candy!
If you ever told me i’d be painting pink walls in any room of mine – I’d have laughed….
but yes people can change and adapt. I really love it.
Here’s some pink inspiration for you!

So now two rooms of Little Paris are on their way to completion….
Happy Father’s Day all.

Good Evening…I’m so worn out from spending hours and hours and hours on website creation…so much
uploading and design work! I needed a break so i thought i’d just upload a picture here and say hi…i sold the painting in
the background and i still miss seeing it in the shop! It’s so gratifying to have pictures that
remind you of such beauty.

I found so many beautiful fabrics for the Paris Boudoir that it is overwhelming. I decided that money was no object and so selected every fabric that made my heart beat! Most are silks…and the trims are just amazing.
I find that photographing fabrics never does them justice….but i tried…some of these fabrics will comprise the bedding, draperies, swags, skirts and pillows. Here’s some trims laid out on my antique danish oak desk. Some of these beauties will make it into the final mix!
Each day is one closer to the grand opening!
