In a bedroom designed by Min | Day for Metropolitan Home's Modern by Design showhome in San Francisco, this black and white striped carpet caught my eye. Not only did it look familiar, but the pattern seemed to be inspired by fuzzy television, a nice way to combat the modernity of the room, especially days after the end of analog. Wonder where I'd seen it before?

A guy friend of mine recently mentioned that he was on the hunt for bedroom furniture, and that he'd had his eye on some bedroom sets. Naturally, I had a strong reaction to this. I find bedroom sets, or furniture sets in general, to be sacrilegious.

A bedroom in designer Hervé Van der Straeten's Paris apartment, photographed by Simon Watson, is dressed almost entirely in the same hue of pink. It's probably the most masculine shade of pink I've seen — if that's possible. The bedroom looks like a place one could sleep for days, a calming retreat.

In this 700-square-foot Tribeca loft designed by Ghislaine Viñas, precision and simplicity rule the roost, along with one particular: pink. The owner, a life-long pink enthusiast, wanted to give her family home some personality with her beloved bright pink and magenta hues. So the focus of the living room is this bright '70s-style corner sectional, and white and light oak give the space lightness and a neutral background to tame the vibrancy of the furnishings.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to live like a vampire, let me tell you: it can be pretty sweet. That is, if you're a member of Twilight's Cullen Family. The 100-plus-year-old vampires don't live in a decaying lair, but a stunning contemporary house that would incite jealousy in any mere mortal.

As I've mentioned in the past, I'm a huge fan of the new CBS series The Good Wife. In particular, I adore Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) apartment. With classic styling and great use of color, it's definitely a look I'm currently coveting.
