Perfect slumber, why dost thou elude me?

I.

As with all of the transformations that have taken place

at Finderskeepers Market, the current makeover is

causing me to lose sleep. So I am seeking refuge in

this list of intriguing (and hopefully sleep inducing)

bedrooms. Here, a Picasso lithograph, a Louis XV chair

once owned by Geoffrey Beene, and a Balinese

driftwood bench punctuate the sleeping quarters.

Kevin Carrigan and Tim Furzer's eclectic choices

have created a soothing and stylish space.

Oh yeah — love that door!

Alessandra Branca designed the bedroom

in this tempting pied-à-terre. The space is

swathed in Irish Linen and more stripes than

you could shake a stick at!

III.

A mirror and six framed lithographs create

the headboard in this Jeffery Povero bedroom.

I love the pumpkin coverlet paired with

the graphite walls.

IV.

Jewelry designer Fruzsina Keehn collaborated

with designer Alex Papachristidis on her London

bedroom. I especially enjoy the French gilt-wood

mirror against the dove-grey walls. The silk taffeta

curtains cocoon the space with a sense of

luxurious comfort and ease.

Hudson Valley defined! Magazine editor

Dara Caponigro hung airy netting to create a

dreamy canopy in the master bedroom

of her lakefront house.

VI.

Fashion designer Zang Toi finished his antique

mahogany bed with layer after layer of glossy black

paint. The results are masculine, seductive, and

genius. In addition, the chandelier has been

adorned with silver-plate instruments. Fantastic!

VII.

A collage of British royal portraits rule Paul Donaher’s

bedroom in Water Mill, New York. Nannette Brown

collaborated on the project that also features an

18th-century ebonized bed plucked from the

Brimfield antiques fair.

VIII.

By now you are all familiar with my Darryl Carter

design-crush — so what is one more photograph going

to hurt? Peaceful simplicity is personified in this

Carter designed bedroom.

IX.

Bruce Glickmen and Wilson Henley have filled this

bedroom with so much personality that it nearly

jumps off the page. I love the mixutre of artwork

and the John Robshaw textiles. The low-end

West Elm headboard proves that a good choice

is a good choice no matter the price.
