I love using black and white to spice up the look of a space. Adding punches of black and white into one’s home décor is a sure way to infuse interest and pack a graphic punch. Black and white is even more dramatic against light/neutral backdrops like the spaces...
It’s been awhile since I visited one of my favourite sites; nysocialdiary.com. I always experience such a thrill when I visit and they are featuring a home that literally speaks to every inch of my design addict being. This feature, Sue...
Books, I can never resist them and anything to do with them. I love how the books look in this circular and quite unique book case. Somehow, the word bookcase doesn’t seem fitting for it… O.K., I’m not sure that I’d be standing in it while I read, but then again,...
I loved reading this feature in the Matchbook magazine about Fashion expert, Linda Rodin Olio. She is not afraid to put her things on display in her home and as a result her home exudes tons of personality and happiness. I think I might just emulate...
As you can imagine, to say that i ‘m busy is putting it mildly-lots going on en mi vida ahora(in my life now). I hope everyone had a great weekend(a bit late for that, I know). I’ve always admired tufted pieces, though I am yet to own a tufted piece of...
I’ve been admiring yellow lately and its many variations. In fact, I recently put up some yellow curtains that I had custom made for my kitchen(yes, even though I’m moving and there’s a for sale sign outside) I am in love with them. I was inspired from a yellow...
Miles Redd’s designs are not for the faint of heart which is probably why he appeals to me. He is a designer who is not fearless in his use of colour and the juxtaposition of varying textures. I also admire his effortless mix of design genres. I love that oversized...
How awesome is it to have those bins mounted on the wall as display shelves! The hardware that is being used to affix them to the walls somehow look like eyes to me too( adding to the cool factor). I also love the red. The blue chair totally pops too and layering the...
I believe the use of or the incorporation of "things" is a great way to accomplish this idea. I chose to use the general term things because that it is not just limited to accessories. The things you use to reflect your personality in your home is basically anything...
My love for books in a home made me a tumblr sensation overnight. You all know how much i love the use of books as decor or simply just the presence of books in a home. See a post here. It's also no secret that i have a design tumblr. Well,...
I mentioned last week that things were hectic around here and that i would be filling you all in on what’s going on. Well, my house is officially for sale because i found and fell in love with a lot. Therefore,...
Isn’t she gorgeous? This is Drew Barrymore in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar. This post is really about my love for mirrors and how besides expanding a space, they can also add an element of glamour. I love the array of styles available to suit any design...
This house is located in Madrid and was designed by Julio Jiménez of the Corral of Circle Q Architects. It was renovated to make better use of the space and to also accommodate the homeowner’s love for books and music. In addition, there is a distinction amongst the...
I have been Mia because i have lots going on right now, so much so that i am wishing i had a clone. Dare i say that i really feel that i possess some superhuman traits because that’s the only explanation as to why i am able to “juggle it all,” and not topple...
Diane von Furstenberg’s Connecticut estateMy “must haves list” as far as design book purchases go keeps getting longer and longer. I have just added a new one to the list; “American Fashion Designers At Home.” It’s written by Rima Suqi, a contributor to T and The New...
