Now that I have been putting the finishing touches on my own apartment, I have a pretty boring bathroom and I am dying to spice it up a little.

My dream home office for BRAVO TV

I was thrilled to be asked by Bravo to create a home office space in celebration of the season finale of Million Dollar Decorators, which I have become highly addicted to. (Isn't decorating totally delicious?)  So, I got to thinking what my dream home office would be like...

I instantly went for coming up with something incredibly different, a new and fresh color palate I never would have thought of before. 

MY DREAM HOME OFFCE...

Dark, glossy hunter green walls with gray, black and white accents and hints of gold. 

I scoured 1stdibs for the amazing vintage chandelier, drop dead gorgeous. 

An oversized painting by my gorgeous friend, LA artist Lana Gomez. 

High back and sexy curves, black and white striped chair so I can look official. 

My favorite piece by Woodson and Rummerfield, Chasens entertainment console for perfect storage.

A large, clear glass desk. So I can see everything under and atop.  

A Louis Vuitton trunk to pile books on and store unsightly items.

This would be the ultimate DOMESTIC decorista BLISS!

Art + Room: how to create the perfect collection of art

I'm always trying to convince my friends that in tiny little kitchens (thanks to nyc apartments), a surefire way to perk up a little eating area is an art wall. An art wall is a collection of photos or prints that make you smile. 

I love this mix of black and white frames, with a mix of matting colors. It's a great color combo that goes perfectly with the colors of the kitchen. When creating your own art wall, make sure that the photos have a similar theme going on, or in similar color stories...you want to make it look like it was done on purpose. That is what will keep it chic and stylish...and give you domestic bliss!

white done right. with tiny bits of color

If you love to fawn over interiors like me, then you love looking at photos of all white rooms. I am so fond of all white rooms, they are so dreamy and calm. One thing I have noticed is that when a pretty color is thrown in to an all white mix a little bit of style magic happens. It just looks more decorated and realistic. I think it looks best when just color comes into the room, like this beautiful green. It's so unexpected and chic.

Art + Room: how to decorate with art

Art is everything! It is the bones of the room, always. Collecting art for your space is a process, you want to collect over time and make sure to find things that speak to you emotionally and speak to the story of the room. The latest issue of Lonny captures some fantastic spaces...and I personally think its because of the amazing artwork! Ruthie Sommers (one fab LA decorator) chose this whimsical piece for her porch, so tongue-in-cheek!

The Art of Living: layered living rooms

When decorating your home, it's important to create a gathering place. A room where everyone can collect together and enjoy great conversation and fun, that is what creates domestic bliss! 

Some people prefer the kitchen, much like my family, but I also really love the feel of an entertaining ready living room. A well decorated living room will have multiple seating/conversation areas, walls layered with gorgeous pieces that elicit great conversations and plenty of fabrics, patterns and interesting textures. I always think too many mirrors never hurt anybody...oh, and never skimp on reading material either. Big photography based books make for the most fun!

Each little adornment and detail is carefully done to ensure the perfect functionality for a super small space yet still keeping its visual beauty. Check out this video for tips on small spaces. I love the white with green trim everywhere, such a fresh combo.

Wallcolor Wednesday {trick it out with TEAL}

Ladies, don't hate me but I just have to say, I love helping my guy friends decorate. Wow! I think it's because they REALLY need it the most. The funny thing is, guys are too afraid of color. So, the next guy I help decorate, I am suggesting teal on the walls. It's gorgeous, semi-masculine and loads of color. Guys don't get that the color of your walls can change your life, uplift your moods, and so much more! Ladies, holler if you hear me. ;) and lets love on some deliciously sweet teal walls.

1. NYC transportation. As I head back to LA this weekend for the holiday, I am assured to remember the greatness of easy transportation.
