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?

You might expect the son of a renowned star like Tom Hanks to swoop up a sprawling Hollywood mansion at first chance, courtesy of Dad. But Colin Hanks is determined to be an actor in his own right and has his priorities straight. Thus, he's quietly purchased a modest two-bedroom, 1.75-bath home in Los Angeles for just over $1 million.

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.

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.

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.

What do you get when one of Hollywood's most popular and powerful A-listers releases a fragrance? In Bloom ($34), the new Avon scent from Reese Witherspoon. Over the course of two years, the self-proclaimed girly-girl was involved in practically all aspects of the perfume-making experience, from helping to select the fragrance's notes to providing input on her inaugural scent's packaging, bottle design, and name.

If you're a design enthusiast and a New Orleans fanatic like me, you know Bryan Batt as a co-owner (with his partner Tom Cianfichi) of one of NOLA's finest décor boutiques, Hazelnut. I featured the boutique back in February of '08, and now Batt is set to ink his own home décor book. If you're just mad for Mad Men, you know him as Sterling-Cooper's in-the-closet, recently fired art director Salvatore Romano.

This feminine bedroom, styled by Bazaar Style author and stylist Selina Lake, was featured in BBC Homes and Antiques magazine.
I love how a patchwork of vintage wallpapers was used to create this feminine boudoir background. Not only does it give the room a nostalgic, period look, but since it really only requires wallpaper samples, it's also a very affordable.
