My bedroom was needing a makeover.
When I moved to this house I fell in love at first sight the the deep blue walls of the bedroom.
Prevailing home décor trends speak to definitive comfort, especially in the bedroom. We took a trip to the closest IKEA and I designed someway in my mind and in paper how to put all this ideas together. A dark blue duvet covers with lime green blooms, layered chenille blankets and sheets in pale green,yellow and tan bedskirt, and pillows galore in organic off white with green stitches,— and I had to have my favorite : a black pillow embroidered with white birds. Yes,feathers,you got that right.
Our daughter painted in off white our old vintage yellowish art deco bed tables and drawers and we got a new dresser with an old vintage feeling in off white too,replacing the old furniture. I took off the bed head and by the way I have a lot of vintage furniture to giveaway if someone is interested.
The theme for comfort plays on the trend of mixing fabrics and textures. It’s more about blending fabrics and colors that complement each other rather than exactly match each other.It’s about creating the unexpected. Uniqueness .It's about what makes you feel good.
On the other end of the flare spectrum, taking a cue from nature, many of today’s bedding styles incorporate bold designs but in patterns of leaves, botanicals and blooms — one of the most arresting looks is the mixing and matching of pillow covers and sheets in opposing hues of the bedspread .
I wish I had an old picture to show the : before and after,but trust me,this is much better and I'm happy.

I'm going Bridal
With the new 2010 I started a whole collection of Bridal Shoes,an affair that took its first steps last year and it is giving me much more than just pleasure. I feel honored being someway part in one of the most memorable days of the life of women around the world,even if that means being at her feet. My designs on shoes are a new season in the life of norakaren and the theme collection makes clear a new concept of matching pieces to get a make a complete statement. Painted Shoes are usually one accessory the future wife choose to match a Themed Wedding.

Made it to the front page of etsy while I was at church
Today my phone was ringing like crazy. Everytime I get a new e-mail or a conversation , it starts to sound once any of my customers or friends send me any kind of info. I was going to enter the sanctuary when I got my first e-mail from Fen from BeadFloraJewels and after that a stream of ringings.
