10 things that rocked my world this week...January 29

1. Exactly 1 year ago today I arrived to New York City, bags packed and my whole world sitting before me. I had no idea what the next year would hold. Happy 1 Year Anniversary to me + NYC.
This was the first picture I took out of my new window...and my coffee mug. Just look at the snow!

NEW CONTRIBUTOR: Camila for EFFORTLESS STYLE

Hi Decorista readers!
This is Camila from Effortless Style Interiors I'm an interior decorator and blogger from the NY area. Ok, sadly I no longer live in NYC, but I'm only a short train ride away since I have migrated out to the suburbs!
For today's post I will be spotlighting one of my favorite rooms and showcase a couple of products that could help you achieve the look in your space.
First is up is a living room designed by Palmer Weiss:
To achieve this eclectic glam look in your space I would recommend picking up some of the following items:
1. A chic accent chair that will just envelope you. 2. A warm neutral shade on the walls will really let all of your furniture and accesories shine. One of my favorite neutral is Powder Sand by Benjamin Moore. 3. A pop of color is also needed. Since a bold color shares a lot of people use it in small doses like this tangerine toss pillow. 4. All girls love a little bling and sometimes we need to remove the bling from ourselves and put it to use in our home decor. This wall decor piece is a steal at only $47.95 and it's 38" long!!! Madness. If it's not gold enough for you go to town with a can of spraypaint. 5. A room is never finished until it gets a dose of animal print. This small ottoman works nicely in this space. 6. Original Platner coffee tables start at $1,400! Steep but really stylish. Get the same look and still have some extra $$$ in your wallet by picking up reproduction. 7. In a living room lighting is crucial. You should have a variety of sources in the space. For a table lamp this stunner is only $79.95! 8.Original Beni Ourain rugs are really pricey. I would pick up this plain rug from Ikea and then use this great DIY tutorial to get the same look.

Wallpaper Wednesday...make it monochromatic!

As we all know by now, I am obsessed with wallpaper. In almost every way shape and color. 
Right now, I am loving the look of monochromatic rooms that are perfectly matched to the wallpaper. It makes the space look intentional and stylish, like a well decorated home. People will never believe you didn't hire a decorator if you create a chic look like that! 
Here are some of my faves...
