The top two came down to Emily and Michael, who I have love, loved from day one- so I was happy to see these two as the last ones standing!<br /><br />So- for those of you who don't know who won... it was Emily! She has great style- and I have really enjoyed seeing her create beautiful spaces. Emily's new show is called <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-secrets-from-a-stylist/videos/index.html">Secrets of a Stylist</a>.... so check it out!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvkX3-guwuTdYUUge5IduHj2UR68sByUhAginWUTXcVz69zow7Vpofzf13L5akEYHYaDNXSWmgmdYO_kW1I71oj21q_0hodg9xttCkh8cyBx7gfoVYZhULcFq7EXNgIx8z3aSOmh3Xb1Fn/s1600/HSTAR5_Emily-Henderson-designer_s3x4_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvkX3-guwuTdYUUge5IduHj2UR68sByUhAginWUTXcVz69zow7Vpofzf13L5akEYHYaDNXSWmgmdYO_kW1I71oj21q_0hodg9xttCkh8cyBx7gfoVYZhULcFq7EXNgIx8z3aSOmh3Xb1Fn/s400/HSTAR5_Emily-Henderson-designer_s3x4_lg.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Here are images of Emily's work...

saturday night prettiness.

yes, I realize that blogging on saturday night doesn't make me the most <i>hip</i> or<i> cool</i>... but I ran across this image and it just made me melt. The ultra traditional chandelier, mirror and wall sconces look so beautifully quirky and unexpected paired with the modern lines of the table and chairs. I love the juxtaposition of new and old- it makes the space feel rich, warm and lived in. Also, notice the creamy, layered cowhide rug against the dark chocolate floors- lovely contrast!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbFghE2Ko_8hTfGH9mOTClDqdrV2Y27kijeoRh5I9kbyie1qW3DjUOm11OG7QHyWBakehaMeDsx-Es0IgPF1mexfn2IqH6F3gygQJcjcJV9D4UP-cGvW7JIS9pBxXz0H6oe9w7eklIgZ1/s1600/2962319352_8c83d40f3c_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbFghE2Ko_8hTfGH9mOTClDqdrV2Y27kijeoRh5I9kbyie1qW3DjUOm11OG7QHyWBakehaMeDsx-Es0IgPF1mexfn2IqH6F3gygQJcjcJV9D4UP-cGvW7JIS9pBxXz0H6oe9w7eklIgZ1/s400/2962319352_8c83d40f3c_o.jpg" width="343" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and that's it! enjoy the beautiful image, and enjoy your weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOSvYeqhw7cha3l_CJ_Acu68iysaWrHiT5hDG2UAux3dN_0vfSFJaRJ9bGE-Ijby1XfFQpEChmdeAtlVi1z7s-e0ZagcST0Xku4G5gRpJPxe-16kC-Jdd-TmTdVYZqHSIoS8ffDs2P9b2g/s1600/signature-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="50" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOSvYeqhw7cha3l_CJ_Acu68iysaWrHiT5hDG2UAux3dN_0vfSFJaRJ9bGE-Ijby1XfFQpEChmdeAtlVi1z7s-e0ZagcST0Xku4G5gRpJPxe-16kC-Jdd-TmTdVYZqHSIoS8ffDs2P9b2g/s640/signature-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

feature friday: holy headboard!

happy friday to all of my Abode Love readers! today, I am focusing on headboards... they are the fireplace of a bedroom... you know, <i>THE</i> focal point <i>(in most cases)</i>. Check out these lovely spaces where the headboard is center stage.... ahhh.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The shape of this headboard is to die for. The room looks <i>SO</i> grand because of the scale of the headboard, as well as it being framed by flanking windows and matching lamps. The creamy tones used in this space are so perfect for a bedroom. They're soothing and create a restful space. Also, check out the large basket trunk at the foot of the bed... so lovely.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjcf8RsQMQXVK4xkCKQxJPKCPOmGItxjZt7gxrYYmiSxmj7dmABGp-yKth7FmZHLSFpKt923veYTWJ1zBcUG_OSdDVpHp8Se0p-kkshmcy26qLaGTknqbYSKSdskJ968aQOKOuax0svJZ/s1600/1702658_ct_bedroom_da1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjcf8RsQMQXVK4xkCKQxJPKCPOmGItxjZt7gxrYYmiSxmj7dmABGp-yKth7FmZHLSFpKt923veYTWJ1zBcUG_OSdDVpHp8Se0p-kkshmcy26qLaGTknqbYSKSdskJ968aQOKOuax0svJZ/s400/1702658_ct_bedroom_da1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is another unique headboard shape... the stark black creates such a strong focal point in the sweet and soft bedroom. I love, love the embroidery on the headboard- it feels custom and rich.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhneilNE0kOGfw4abwrzJ4NqRIxc-LAT9w3BoH3Z3aJFcqdR8lkGBiIaDQB1V7TH2-1RzXu_8ILbLluaDzb-yKC9KQSc05KXF3tzaCyxbH8xoDJYlAXrdL7r6o755xI597QCh8iNCwT49Bl/s1600/headboard.krista.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhneilNE0kOGfw4abwrzJ4NqRIxc-LAT9w3BoH3Z3aJFcqdR8lkGBiIaDQB1V7TH2-1RzXu_8ILbLluaDzb-yKC9KQSc05KXF3tzaCyxbH8xoDJYlAXrdL7r6o755xI597QCh8iNCwT49Bl/s400/headboard.krista.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Want to add color and pattern to your space? Check out this upholstered headboard- it creates <i>such</i> a strong sense of style in this white room... so whimsical and fresh! A great way to switch up the style of your bedroom would be to purchase an upholstered bed that can be easily slipcovered. That way, you could switch up the style of the space easily on the cheap!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNactm_9P3Gz-4N0UUkK68yNNvUjtgOoo8a7LFHdcOn27BNQiXCqW9sJ-RP8Z2zTCTrW8lGV4LsW4aXlRG4GlT6-r-OvNu2q9C-k5UUkQAfhc5T5ZQJD2F6lAWD32xd_Bwb2yAZdsOk_P/s1600/headboard-2-759590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNactm_9P3Gz-4N0UUkK68yNNvUjtgOoo8a7LFHdcOn27BNQiXCqW9sJ-RP8Z2zTCTrW8lGV4LsW4aXlRG4GlT6-r-OvNu2q9C-k5UUkQAfhc5T5ZQJD2F6lAWD32xd_Bwb2yAZdsOk_P/s400/headboard-2-759590.jpg" width="377" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This room is gorgeous. I love the contrast of the deep grey walls against the creamy tufted bed. The bed not only has a stunning headboard, but the tufted rolling footboard really <i>"glams"</i> up the space. Also-- this space is the perfect combination of modern and traditional style- the mixed finishes, the reflective mirror and the chandelier are traditional pieces- but the artwork is modern. What a lovely marriage of styles.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6cy-4zG6S48QCy7zwI3B-sOiy62ex055ZusaWHrDNhjVyOw9l4QOgjDalEINPVCuj0C8CoFZM-fnKxTdoKhl0CScYgotkevetiqwIy9XeeUvhOrhPz1vpwQEpnbaWLKcm82yisCvZBwfi/s1600/5d375e2fa141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6cy-4zG6S48QCy7zwI3B-sOiy62ex055ZusaWHrDNhjVyOw9l4QOgjDalEINPVCuj0C8CoFZM-fnKxTdoKhl0CScYgotkevetiqwIy9XeeUvhOrhPz1vpwQEpnbaWLKcm82yisCvZBwfi/s400/5d375e2fa141.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is another tufted headboard done very differently. The contrasting black cording and buttons add a fun and quirky feel to the bed- I love how tailored it feels! I also <i>LOVE</i> the contrasting bedskirt that matches the bolster on the bed. Quite fun, quite unexpected.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqcTnuJfvE9cFRujj_xYr71ENv21TQNypOsFAcRHV3bBX0UiGbBLM06w5CO7ixu92aVINaKFwFc1TpMjasofJv3v8Icmwoa7zVUZgXWbgwwYEo_xcIave9OK1sfwkbZnvhxVcJ6TEcXJc/s1600/girls-bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqcTnuJfvE9cFRujj_xYr71ENv21TQNypOsFAcRHV3bBX0UiGbBLM06w5CO7ixu92aVINaKFwFc1TpMjasofJv3v8Icmwoa7zVUZgXWbgwwYEo_xcIave9OK1sfwkbZnvhxVcJ6TEcXJc/s400/girls-bedroom.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wow... this is a statement!

It is definitely the focal point of the space- and reflects so much natural light in so many different directions.
