THIS OR THAT: WHICH PREPPY BED DO YOU PREFER?!

October 6, 2011
  • Share
Bedroom with ticking stripe upholstered striped sleigh bed, a matching striped bench, white built in shelves and a wood floor

Two chic rooms for the modern prep in today’s THIS OR THAT!

I like this bedroom above. Ahhh…a retreat indeed. Soothing, calming, not a lot of visual clutter. Then there is the adorable upholstered bed covered in ticking stripe fabric.  Subtly preppy.  Reminds me of Nantucket.

Then there is the room below…another preppy bed…this time plaid upholstered.  This is more of Southern preppy room in my view. (lots of plaid from me this week I know…!)

Which preppy upholstered bed do you like better…the ticking stripe above or the plaid slip covered bed below?

rustic country bedroom a a plaid slip covered headboard, roof line post beam ceiling, rustic wood desk, chair and wood floor

Have you decided?  Which room is your fave? I’m leaning towards the ticking stripe…I think…

Happy Thursday!

    I did plaid once. It has taken me a long time to get over it. I vote stripes. :0

    I adore the stripe ticking – it is neutral but not plain or boring!! It get’s my vote! Cheers! Becky

    I like the rustic-y feel of the plaid bed room, but I prefer the cleaner feel of the stripe one.

    I vote for neither. I am so sick of rooms that look like catalog photo shoots. These rooms look like Pottery Barn pictures, just different years. It is a sad of affairs in the world of design when catalog companies, who do nothing but knock off other’s design work, have this much influence over interior design.

    I love the serenity of the first; though it really needs one of your great throws and a cool garden stool.

    not that fond of either bed, and abhor foot boards! But love the ROOM in the second pic and the casual feel, just not the headboard, plaid, and the bed skirt. lol I love beds with legs. 😉

    Ticking stripe!!! I just bought ticking stripe curtains for my bedroom, and I love them – vintage-y but preppy, clean and linear all at once!

    I like the second one because it has more color and personality. The first is clean, bright and modern, but it lacks anything oroginal to set it apart from a catalog set.

Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
