Around My Home...

Happy Thursday everyone!! So today, I'd like to share a few photos of little moments around my home, that I've mostly posted on Instagram, plus a couple more...I would like to do a full home tour soon, but there are little things that are still needing to be finished, so until then, here are some teasers...

My newest 3'x4' painting...



If you want texture, this African head dress is a great way to get it, I never tire of looking at this...

Coffee table musts-books, candles, and flowers...there's usually a novel I'm in the middle of, on here too...


New pillow that I LOVE- (see yesterdays post)...

A shelf in my kitchen...I love a couple skulls around the house...


My nightstand..with the necessities...Diptyque, flowers, daily jewels,  and of course books, I never tire of books...

Pierre Frey...

Are you familiar with Pierre Frey? I just ordered a pillow made up in his glorious "Moon Lin Argent" fabric, that I received yesterday, and to say that I'm in love is an understatement....I am really really in love with my new pillow (I have a slight pillow obsession). So I wanted to share a few of my favorite fabrics from the line today, and be sure to check out the Pierre Frey site to find out where you can buy them....

Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman's Home Tour......

If I had to go back to my roots in decorating, I am a Victorian at heart....the detailed mouldings and trims, crystal chandeliers, and hardwood floors....all of which this beautiful home tour has for you, but what I love about Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman's home is that she has a modern edge mixed into it, which is also a style I love, so when the two are mixed, I go a bit crazy! Check it out...

My Weakness For White...

I have such a weakness for white in my home right now...I love how bright it is and then with the touches of black and grey, when I do add some color, it totally pops. For the last year, I have gradually changed out all my dark furniture for a bright and airy, slightly boho look. I mean, lets be real, those of you who know me, know I am forever and a day changing things! But I do know that for a long time I have wanted to change to white but it scared me! I started with all white bedding a few years ago and I love it, but I did learn the hard way that a white sofa was not for me. On the other hand, my all white kitchen is so gloriously beautiful, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping that look for awhile too! I also went with white walls throughout and oh how I love those! SO...I think that my gradual turn to white has been a slow and steady change and what I know for sure is that it makes me happy. Here are some of my Pinterest pins that have been inspiring me...






Have a beautiful day!

The Art Of Making An Entrance....

Hi everyone! I love first walking into someones home and getting that first impression of the home they have made for themselves. If its done right you will also get a sense for who they are. I love to have a table with a few things you may see elsewhere in my home, such as nice lighting, a piece of art, books, a tray, a candle and some fresh flowers. Its also nice to have a small stool or ottoman that tucks under the table for guests to have a place to sit while putting their shoes on. Here are a few inspiring photos for you...

Splash of Neon...

Happy Monday everyone!! I have a very white space right now and to give it some "pop", I sometimes add a splash of color, and once in awhile, its neon. I do the same with fashion actually, sometimes adding a neon belt or piece of jewelry, I think my very fashionable daughter keeps me young and trendy with all her picks in  her daily outfits and she always seems to have some neon mixed in somewhere! So check out these very cool spaces...

Neon orange mirror

Neon orange stools

Neon yellow step stool

Neon yellow chairs etc

Neon pink curtain rods!

Have a great day everyone!
