WALK IN WOWZA

I am always arrested by amazing and gorgeous homes. It's something that I can never get enough of.
My e-decorating clients are always surprised when I try to educate them on creating an amazing entry.
I adore the feeling of walking into someones home and being wowed by its style.
These entryways are so well decorated, I would be so impressed by anyone who decorated the entryway with over the top amazing collections of frames. Here are some amazing ideas...

 Now if frames aren't your thing, don't be afraid to wow your guests with dramatic & modern lighting.

sparkly and gorgeous metallic christmas decor...
this holiday season I am all about your design shimmer! In fact, I'm kind of obsessed with you.
Decorating in metallics (golds + silvers) for the holidays is a fantastic way to add 
all kinds of glamour to your dwelling. I'm all about it, so chic.

office space of the day...from Rue to Kelley Moore

gorgeous gold chairs + exposed brick + black and white panels + precious lamp + chandelier =
total decorista bliss

I am so all about glamour these days. The gold and luxurious items are quickly becoming my obsessions. This office space is no exception of my over the top style adoration. I mean, come on, I would not expect less the glam perfection from Rue issue #2, am I right?
and of course I heart my girl Kelley and her fab style, too!
bravo ladies.

currently inspired by...the sparkle & the shine

The weekend has just flown by and I have been bustling around this city I've barely even noticed.There was soiree after soiree, lots of celebrating the launch of my new website, and friends from Texas in town.
One thing I've noticed is that everywhere in LA, the sparkle and the shine, are out in full force. Glossy chandeliers in restaurants, sparkling dresses on many a angeleno, glimmering nail polish colors and glistening candle light. This perfect LA weekend has me totally inspired!

when gloss and sparkle are paired together...the effect is effortlessly glamorous!

for the love of Gold! {Livingetc November 2010}

Absolutely head over heels for this gold kitchen island that graces the cover of the November 2010 issue of LivingEtc. 
So bold + glamorous, I just love daring design choices that make a statement.
The rest of the home is pretty funky too, eccentric living at its best. 
Totally the reason I love this inspiring shelter mag.
How else would we see design boundaries broken?
There is so much goodness in this issue, I am taking all of it in today. 
Did you know that the creative people over at LivingEtc have a blog?
I freaked out when I found it...Life.StyleETC.
Check it out. It's so major!

the Art of Living...decorating with silver + gold

Remember when I asked you guys if you preferred silver or gold?
Well, it got me thinking...
and I quickly realized that if you love both (much like I do) you can mix them together 
to create a hip and different look.
It brings a little excitement and something out of the ordinary to the space.
I don't know what it is or why it is, but in these photos, I am loving the appeal.
