modern/boho?



found this site via apartment therapy where you can make your own collections - mood boards, i guess. i played around with it for a while - it's really easy to use. this is stuff i have/want for my bedroom. it's like free photoshop - sort of.
i'm sorry the photo is a little small - but here's what's what:
my kate banzai print came and it is jawdropping. by far the most striking piece of art i own. {top left}
the thing that looks like flag is a brice marden piece - the print of which i have (all i'll ever be able to afford)
the tree silhouette is my marimekko wall-hanging that's been behind my bed for a while now;
theres some birch branches (for texture in this little composition)
and a linen bedspread i just got from ikea for $20 (i traded way down from the $300 bedding i scored for nothing on eBay because i realized i only liked it because it was trendy/expensive);
the throw pillow is from urban and will probably be mine by the end of the week (thank you, visa);
the blue blob is an ikea lamp which is in the mail on its way to me (thank you, ebay);
the stack of books represents the stacks of books that float on the wall on either side of my bed thanks to umbra's conceal book shelf;
if you don't know who the monster is, it's domo. he sits on my bookcase and amuses me greatly - look his videos up on youtube - he's the Japanese equivalent of the "after these messages" claymation we all loved in the 90s on saturday morning cartoons;
the silver thing is clocky the rolling alarm clock - i don't have clocky in chrome but i was lucky enough to be given a white clocky;
there's some cork candle holders too. i keep one next to my bed because it casts the most relaxing organic flickery shadows when i light it at bedtime.
and finally, the ikea rocking chair - this domino feature inspired me to create a reading corner in my bedroom and this chair is the leading candidate. i think it'd look fierce with my vintage tripod lamp and a wire basket o'books.
the site asked me to classify the style reflected in the composition - how's modern boho strike you? ehh. comment with less embarassing suggestions.
