Happy 84th Birthday, Andy Warhol! 

On my daily commute today, I heard a great piece about Andy Warhol on NPR. It reminded me of college when I was first exposed to his work and his diaries. A great read by the way.

Warhol was a man of contradictions. He died with rooms full of unopened purchases (underwear, t-shirts, and teapots), but once quipped all you really need is a bed, a plate, a knife, and a fork. 

I wondered if this were true, what bed would I pick?

Today, it would have to be Restoration Hardware's French Wing Upholstered Bed. Like its wing chair inspiration, it surrounds you in timeless comfort. For linens, I'd drape the bed in Eileen Fisher Home from Garnet Hill. I love how the textures invite you to come closer. It's inviting without screaming.

CARROL – what bed would you pick?

PAULA – here is my pick?

If you can only have one piece of furniture and that piece is a bed, Paula's Restoration Hardware's French Wing Upholstered Bed is a superb choice and it would definitely make my top five list. However, this is the bed I would choose...

19th C. Keyhole Metal Arch Bed, also by Restoration Hardware. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to linens and prefer all white sheets and comforters - hotel quality, please! Although, I would not be opposed to a faux mink throw.

Try ironing your sheets for that crisp, hotel feel. 

Yummy

Lastly, if I can only have one plate I would like mine to be a platter.
