Shelving It In Style with Drugeot Labo Storage Systems
Irwin Weiner ASID - I'm on my handmade high horse once again. I admire furniture that speaks fluent handmade. With French design and manufacturing firm Drugeot Labo, I've found some wonderful storage resources that are flexible and bespoke looking, thanks to the designs of Pierre Rochepeau. Pictured above: Kao Shelving Triple, Kao Shelving Single, Bric à Brac Shelving, and 3 Mats Shelving.
Also look to Drugeot Labo for innovative coffee and end tables, like the lovely whirling dirvish Toupie side tables (above), beautiful top-like creations crafted from limewood and steel. But back to shelving systems - I'm also in love with Bibliofleur, a whimsical take on bookshelves supported by modern white flower bases (see photos below).

Which New IMM Global Furnishings Do You Love?
Irwin Weiner ASID - It's great for American homeowners and interior designers to see what vendors in the rest of the world are producing in the way of furnishings, home textiles, and accessories. The International Furnishing Show in Cologne, Germany never disappoints when it comes to giving us inspiration and an eye for design trends. The following Lifestyle TV video is excellent; it provides us with many web addresses for vendors - some are old favorites (like Ligne Roset, maker of the Ploum Sofa, above) and many are new discoveries. As the IMM says, "Create. Furnish. Live."

Featured Project: DIY Painted Headboard
Now is the perfect time to think about freshening up your interior space. With a splash of color here and a new piece of furniture there, it's easy to redecorate. Here's a quick, budget-conscious DIY design idea to help get you started.
Paint Your Own Headboard
Chances are if you if you purchased your bed frame as part of a bedroom set, the headboard is already included. If you don't want to put forth the extra cash, especially after paying for a pricey mattress, no problem! Painted headboards are a great way to add a pop of color to your bedroom.
Step 1: Measure the width of the head of your bed and mark it with blue painter's tape from floor to ceiling. Now, choose your color based on your desired color scheme. You obviously don't want it to be the same shade as your walls, but it should complement that color.
Step 2: Once you have your color, paint the wall, staying within the blue painters tape. Once the paint dries, if you choose to do so, you can detail with paint or with some removable wall decals from a company like Blik. For as little as $40, Blik makes easily removable wall decals in fun shapes like bookshelves, chandeliers, birds, etc. If this sounds like too much work, don't worry and leave your wall a solid color.
Step 3: Simply position your bed up against the painted wall, prop up some decorative Euro pillows in coordinating colors and patterns, and you have yourself a headboard. You might want to take this opportunity to invest in a new comforter or duvet in fun, light, spring colors. You'd be surprised at what a little bit of paint and some new bedding can do for your space!
