As the holidays grow closer I am getting so excited to have family in to visit me in NYC. So naturally, I just can't resist adding a few little accessories here and there to pep up my pad. Where I always turn...why ZGALLERIE of course! They are always on the cutting edge of design trends so when I need something last minute, they are always a great source.

Because most of my apartment is grey, black and white, I fell instantly for this chevron ottoman, its perfect for extra seating. I also love this Dynasty Mirror, it adds a touch of modern chinoiserie.

And when It comes to holiday decorating, I would go for a few sparkly things...

madera decorative plate. skull. twilight tealight. silver bark candles.

For the people that I cherish (and maybe for myself too) I'd love to snap these bits + baubles up too.

domino set. Emma painting. eiffel tower flutes. camera. grace headboard.

I finally got my new Zgallerie catalog. (why oh why won't they open one in NYC?) I must say, I am loving their new look, its a little bit more exotic.

The Art of Living...decorating moments of masculinity

ashlina {the decorista} October 13, 2010

Just like any other decorista, I go crazy for a bold and feminine room...

however, mixing in some masculinity into an interior can create such a perfect harmony.

It's almost too good to resist.

An easy way to pop in a gentleman's vibe is by using amazing taxidermy,

aka well mounted antlers.

Decorating with antlers is major unabashed masculinity and I highly recommend trying it.

If you can't stand the sight of real life anters, Zgallerie has a great collection of plastered white ones that are also incredibly chic. Check out their latest collection.

{Please note that this look can easily be overdone. So limit your creativity to soft panache.}

My new Zgallerie favorites {the art}

Oh how I love the weekends...I love my Saturday mornings for my regular stop at Starbucks + Zgallerie. This time I spent my entire time gazing at the art, they have such an adorable and affordable art collection. I wanted to scoop up a few goodies myself, I just have no more room. sigh!

A few of my favorites...

needing. wanting. loving. {more Zgallerie goodness}

This Willow sofa from Zgallerie has literally stolen my heart.

Throw on some beautiful pillows, including some bolster pillows on the side and bam...

Zgallerie boot umbrella stand {my entryway}

ashlina {the decorista} June 19, 2010

I am absolutely obsessed with my Zgallerie boot umbrella stand. It sits so perfectly in my apartment entryway. Honestly, the minute I laid eyes on that fella, I just knew I had to have one.

Every person that walks in my apartment door just gushes over it. Cute and affordable home decor, what's better?

I also strongly suggest grouping together a collection of vintage gold ornate frames...
(easy to find at your local thrift)
and grouping them on your wall for instant impact!!!!
Did all of this for less than 25$. A steal.

my Zgallerie Casablanca lanterns + my patio

ashlina {the decorista} May 30, 2010

Yesterday I posted about my patio, because I have been spending my days there.

Right after the post, my package from Zgallerie arrived and I finally got my casablanca lanterns I have been eyeing ever since I saw them in ashley tisdale's home tour.

How perfect do they look on my patio...I love the green so I changed a few things around since you last saw. My boyfriend also gave me this cute little table he found at a vintage store long ago.

I did lots of cleaning + spray painted it Spa Blue and now its the perfect host to my glass that I love.
