Stephanie a.k.a. Mrs Limestone, blogs about her adventures mainly in renovating her Brooklyn limestone home, on one of my favourite reads: a Brooklyn limestone in progress.  I am sure that her funny and candid writing style coupled with her impeccable taste for interiors had something to do with being referred by the British Times as one of the 50 world's best design blogs.

I have spent some time over the Christmas holidays re-organizing my image gallery and in doing so I realized that I have developed an unconscious obsession with four poster beds. There is something regal and visually striking about four poster beds so I ended up collecting dozens and dozens of four poster bedroom images.

Most people will argue that a hotel is just a place to sleep over whilst you are away from home, however, I strongly believe that whenever possible we should do it in style. There are fabulous hotels out there which can provide us with great inspiration and ideas for our homes especially for the bedroom. I would like to share with you at least one design or boutique hotel, as we call it in Europe, every week.

I wanted to start the year with a serene colour trend, all white interiors. I mentioned in previous posts (here and here) that white is a timeless classic, one that embodies tranquillity and feels restful, so what better place for white than the bedroom?

This is one of the most dramatic makeovers I have seen to date, the end result looks straight out of a design hotel. Michelle from Three Men and a Lady is the lady behind such a fabulous makeover. Check out the rest of her home for a full showcase of Michelle’s resourceful interior decorating ideas.
