for my fabulous rock star weekend, I will be channeling your style!
This is Los Angeles rock star glam to the tee. Think evenings out in the swanky city streets.
Live music halls decked in gorgeous velvets. 
Glistening dresses sparkle on the city girls and the gents sport the yummy leather.
So rock and roll. I love it.

bon weekend!

studded screen, oh so green and bright + clean!

I am so addicted to screens lately and everything in this picture captures me.
I love the wallpaper, the studded chair and the mix of accesories. gorgeous!
  Something about this room has me eager to redecorate. I think what they did with the floor, the green and white stripes is just brilliant. Also, the blacks, green sofa and the fabulous recovered wing chairs are just singing such a lovely tune. Don't you agree?
I love the bright and clean look of an all white sunroom. Pops of neutral colors really warm it up and make it incredibly cozy. I think the fern plays such a big role in harmonizing the indoor/outdoor feel. This is the sort of all white room I can actually see myself working with.

high gloss black is back...

and looking really good.
Want to know how to revamp your home by mixing some high gloss black paint into your interior decor?

repaint a high back winged wicker chair for your chic + cozy living room.
find some old mirrors and repaint them with the beautiful glossy color...throw them on top of some beautiful blue wallpaper and call it a day!
spice up your gorgeous green walls in the bedroom with a glossy black headboard to die for!

Zgallerie on the regular...bright orange + black and white stripes

1I know...I have a problem.
My local Zgallerie is right next door to my local Starbucks. 
Not a good combination, as both are high on my list of weaknesses.
Today, I had to go in (at least it's Friday) because this huge black and white striped outdoor canopy called my name, very loudly. I had to go in.
How perfect is this? I need a pool pronto!
I am loving the bright orange colors all around the store...
and how could you not fall for these adorable boot umbrella stands?
or this gorgeous peacock serving tray.
love. love. love.

holy makeover!

Oh how I love my readers. I hope you all know that you make my day everyday!
Remember when i posted my secret of domestic bliss #5
on how black is back?
Well, Kerry who blogs at A Tranquil Townhouse
loved that little secret...and after a little conversation
she went from this...
to this!

I guess I was able to convince her to take the plunge.
I'm so completely honored that she took my advice!

I am so glad she did. Now that fantastic white screen makes 
a much bigger statement, don't you think?

In Los Angeles, black is back and badder than ever.
I have recently fallen for the artwork of Ian Macdonald
and his fantastic black ceramic installation. 
I seriously want to create this look in my home, it's perfectly modern.
How on earth could I not want a collection like this?

His work is just a wee bit out of my price range so I might be able to recreate the look with these things that I am digging on.
