going to the mattresses

exhibit A
exhibit B
exhibit C
our home is slowly coming together. decorating your home can sometimes be a full time job. the problem is, i know exactly what i want but finding it has been the dilemma. sometimes i wish i knew how to do everthing. i have been searching for the perfect kitchen banquette. although i love exhibit A, it's not very functional for our kitchen area, but it sure is stylish. my husband and i have thought about turning our kitchen area into a little cafe (sofa, coffee table, cappaccino machine...etc) after much measuring and contemplating, we decided it's not going to work and it's time to "go to the matresses." it's time for custom made. i want the detail and look of exhibit B with the back board of exhibit C. so now i am on the search....stay tuned

feeling blue

feeling blue but loving it. i love everything about this room (the amoire, the pictureless frames, the bird print, love it). this is my advice for you this summer, add a very bright exotic print to spice up any room and while your at it, add some color to those white walls....i love bright colors for summer, inside and out. summer is in, enjoy it!

my summer color for 2008 is yellow, it reminds me of a warm laying on the beach eating grapes sipping on a nice glass of lemonade and spraying myself with cucumber lime mist kind of day. what's your summer color and why?

hanging with drew

this is the april issue of domino showing drew barrymore's office (flower films).
can you tell i am in love. i love her style, her sense of who she is and most of all her taste in decor (interior designer ruthie sommers) just check out the purple pumps, and vintage chairs above. enjoy!

modern girl in a modern world

while everything around me moves to the new ages, i always decorate with pieces true to its form and looks elegant in every era. mixing modern, traditional and old world pieces together to get a look that is clean and simple with a little mystery. i say that's the way to do it if you are not a trendsetter or follower for that case. i love this room above, and most of all i love the use of black, anchoring the room and pulling everything together. for ages i have been stuck on clean lines and simplicity. mission accomplished

playing with pink

i am not a pink girl, but when i came across these four amazing rooms, i quickly found my new favorite color. each room is done with a lot of sophication and just a touch of pink. this season just add a splash of color (even if it's pink) to a neutral slate or a neutral print (just like the black and white print above).

cleaning house

Hello all! i know i have left a few of you guys hanging. life has taken over and i am now getting in the swing of things, married life, new job, settling in a new home, and catching up with old friends. now that I have that out of my system. i am all yours. so stay tune for some hot looks for 2008.

.summer on the brain.

this week I am in St. Lucie and it is quite chilly here. i can't wait to break out my sundress and beach bag. while dreaming of what the summer has in store for me i came across these beautiful outdoor spaces. what a great way to bring your family room outdoors. it's inspired me to get started on some outdoor decorating. where's a cabana boy when you need one.... happy summer dreaming!
