This room started out in desperate need of some serious lovin'. White walls, white bed frame, white linens -- it needed to be infused with some personality, some grit, some sexiness.

With the installation of an art piece (a metal taxidermy and some sticks tied with twine), simple flowers and a chic task lamp, this smart room is now anything but stark.

Taxidermy, Task Lamp & Mirror: HomeGoods; Bedframe, Bedding & Sticks: IKEA; Vases: mine; Florals: Trader Joe's mums
