Home Tour: A glamorous pad you don't wanna miss!

 
 I love me a stylish decorista! 
Tina, my new bff, a blogger and total design freak shared her home tour with me 
and of course, I couldn't wait to share with all of you.
Her and her boyfriend renovated this amazing spread and it is total decorista perfection!
Stripes on walls, deep black curtains, sparkly accessories, amazing artwork, glossy black furniture and lucite goodness. Did I mention that I am crazy about the art?
This pad is absolutely my type of space!
love. love. love. love. love.

inspired by San Francisco! decorating with white and cream

The mix of bright whites and soft, dreamy creams is really well executed here.
Something about these living rooms just screams cozy + elegant living. 

Today I am in San Francisco...enjoying the beautiful weather and the sunny skies.
I love being in this city, something about the crispness in the air just gets me going...
makes me want to decorate in whites and creams. ooh la la.

The Decorista Trend Spotting...Wild wallpaper


I have been seeing this dark + botanical wallpaper everywhere lately.
It's all about dark florals for fall!
Bold and dramatic wallpaper is a major attention grabber. I love wallpaper!
Take some inspiration from over the top magazine worthy rooms.
I love the patterns and bright colors of these fabulous few...




 green malachite wallpaper...are you kidding me? It's ridiculously good here, no?
 
I just think these panels of wallpaper are too cute!
how gorgeous is this mirrored vanity?

on this lovely sunday I'm inspired by...

The perfect mix of comfort and style...complete with an oversized mirror, plush flokati rug, romantic country seating with a mix of modern pillows in blues, blacks and creams.
 The stylishness of this demure little kitchen. The gorgeous chandelier and marble countertop make it sophisticated and luxe. Add a turquoise little toaster and some personal treasured items and it downplays the grandeur perfectly.
The beauty of this dynamic breakfast nook. Perfectly situated in the corner, modern chairs make the perfect match for the Saarinen table. The art wall with black and white photographs are the ultimate warm welcoming finish.

Aren't these images lovely?

The Art of Living...mixing leopard and zebra print

I honestly would never suggest this combination, it could end up looking a bit too much.
However, I am also a believer in the phrase "all things are possible".
If you love both zebra and leopard prints...this is how to do it right.
A beautiful dainty zebra print chair + two accent leopard print pillows on the adjacent sofa.
perfection!

House Tour: David Collins


I'm thrilled to be starting off this week with a delightful treat for all of you who love color!
David Collins shares his home of fabulous proportions and colors.
Blues, purples and greens are the foundation of the color story...so very cool and relaxing.
He throws in uber modern gems yet keeps a traditional wit about the home.
I think its gorgeous and very, very well done.
 I have always loved the modern look of open staircases like these.
Is this not 'office space of the day' worthy? love.








I just can't ever emphasize enough "it's all about the details"!
Oh, I just can't take all this goodness! So, so good, no?
