My eBay Collections: Pt.1 The Bohemian Bedroom.....

Moon to Moon eBay Collections: Anthopologie Dalian Embroidered Bed Linen
The Bohemian Bedroom: White Cotton String of Lights
Bohemian Bedroom: Natural Tan Leather Pouffe
Bohemian Bedroom: Natural Jute Rug
Bohemian Bedroom: perfect bedtime browsing Gypsy by Sibella Court
I am not a blogger that usually promotes larger corporations but eBay is genuinely one of my all time favorite sites. 80% of my baby's nursery and clothes have been brought from eBay and my own wardrobe is full of eBay bargains. So when eBay asked if I would like to be part of their UK launch of Collections I jumped at the chance. I have 12 collections which are constantly changing and being updated... because things sell fast!!

The above collection is just a few items from my collection Bohemian Bedroom. Although the bedspread is bright the other elements are neutral and calming. This collection was inspired by images from the book 'Gypsy' by Sibella Court.

To see the rest of my boards visit eBay Collections here

If any of you guys sell on eBay or have found any products/shops you think would be a good fit, and please email me at moontomoon@live.co.uk.... Photos used must be clear and simple

Le Boudoir....

La Boudoir.... Romantic low lighting and sheer fabrics


La Boudoir: draping fabrics and fairy lights

Mystical Bedroom nook, complete with handira

Green and Blue four poster bed
I have always wanted a four poster bed with curtains that close all the way round. I love feeling secure and unseen in my bed, being shut away from the world. At university I really didn't like having people in my dorm room, it was my little world to dream and ponder and post-uni it took ages to get used to having to share my bed space with Dan.... but of course I have learnt that the bedroom is also great, maybe even better, when shared :)

This readers home is the Lovely Sarah from La Maison Boheme. Here Sarah tells us a litle more about her beautiful home....

1) Tell us a little bit about you and where you live?
My name is Sarah Greenman and I'm a writer, artist, actor, blogger and Mama to two boys. I live in Dallas, Texas with my husband in a ranch style home.  We moved to Dallas from Seattle and are still getting to know our new home town.

2) What attracted you to your home?
It had great energy and flow.  

3) Do you have a favourite/sentimental item?
This is a tough question because my home is filled with things that I love. I really adore my grandmother's decoupaged screen. She was a costumer and used the screen to pin up her renderings.  Then she started decoupaging them to the screen. Every time she'd do a new show, she'd put up the new sketches over the old ones.  If I were ever to excavate the screen's layers, I'm sure I'd find 10 or 15 separate costume designs beneath each panel. 

4) Where do you buy your furnishings? Any recommendations?
All over really. I'm an avid Craigslist searcher. I also love consignment and thrift stores.  IKEA is also an easy go-to place for organizational furnishings like shelves, etc. Lula B's in Dallas is a favorite place to find home goods.

5) What/who inspires your personal/ home style?
I'm inspired by traveling.  I feel like every time I come home from somewhere (Mexico, Scotland, France, Italy) I want to completely remake my home in that style.  I also really love designers Isabella Lopez Quesada and Steven Gambrel.  Their spaces really speak to me. 

6) What/ where would be your dream home?
Someplace where I could grow my own food without having to fight the elements and someplace near the sea. The home itself would be older with lots of charming details.  I'd also have my own studio space - a room completely my own.  

7) What was the last item you brought?
A set (12) of cocktail glasses - 6 short and 6 tall buckets.  They're from the 70's - black glass with gold coins stamped into the sides.  I found them at a consignment shop - 10 dollars for the entire set.

8) Do you have a wish list item for your home?
Yes.  It's a long list.  But I would really love to replace the floors in our home with a unified hard wood.  The existing parque floors are done.  They've had their day and the home really needs something new.  Or new windows, or a master bath remodel, or a revamped master closet, or a new kitchen sink (ours leaks), or a new fridge (ours floods every other day due to a faulty ice maker). 


Thank you Sarah, be sure to check out her beautiful blog La Maison Boheme

I  found out about Taylor Camp a few weeks ago via Prism of Threads blog and have been reading about it ever since.

"Taylor Camp was born in the spring of 1969 when artist / oceanographer Howard Taylor (brother of actress Elizabeth) bailed out of jail a rag-tag band of young mainlanders arrested for vagrancy and invited them to live on his land; thus setting off immigrating waves of hippies, surfers, seekers and psychologically scarred Vietnam vets to Kauai’s North Shore.
Condemned by the State in 1977, government workers torched the camp before the last resident moved out, leaving behind ashes and magical memories of “the best days of our lives”.

The Romantic home of... Jemima Kirke

Actress and Artist Jemima Kirke in her Brooklyn Home





Have you watched Girls? I watched the whole first series in the last two days whilst trying to recover from night shifts. It is so funny, raw and mesmerising.

My favourite character was Jessa, she reminded me of a mixture of a few of my college friends combined. Jessa is played by British Born Artist/actress Jemima Kirke. I found these pictures of her home on The Glow and thought I would share. I love the warm. romantic, muted tones of this Brooklyn heights home.

Carved Wooden Headboards...

Beautiful Carved Wooden Headboard of four poster bed

Carved Wooden head Board
Lotus Carved wood head board similar available form Viva Terra
Carved headboard and Indian Hanging on teak Bed, and handira 

The top two are awesome aren't they? I am looking for something similar but they are pretty pricey on the web My favourite so far are this Karma Sutra head board , this Ramayana panel and the glorious  Lotus head board however I think it will have to be a good search for a thrifty bargain...

Moroccan Interior Design: Wedding blanket (handira) used as a rug
I have fallen in love with a blanket, no seriously, big time in Love! I have been toying with the idea of buying a Moroccan Wedding Blanket (Handira) for about a year now, and a couple of weeks ago just went for it.

Handira are hand woven blankets made from 100% wool and decorated with sequins. The Wedding blankets are made by Berber women and are traditionally used as a cape during wedding ceremonies (See photo below). Post wedding Handira look beautiful as blankets on the bed, as rugs or even as wall hangings.

I am so, so impressed I just had to share....I got mine from Beyond Marrakech, a blog and shop owned by the lovely Danielle, who also owns a beautiful Guest house Dar Zohra in the Atlas Mountains.

Living in Morocco, Danielle sources these beautiful Handira locally and has the most beautiful wide range of these beautiful blankets. If like me you are messy the blankets also come in colour.

What do you guys think?

Handira are traditionally worn as a cape during the Moroccan Wedding ceremony
