wide open loft spaces

Decorating other people's apartments in this city is incredibly fun, but it really makes me want to move to a new space and redecorate everything. Does anybody else ever feel that way? I am just ready to move and take on a whole new project. My lease is up in July but I am already craving some apartment shopping. 

Right now, I am thinking how fun it would be to live in a large and wide open loft space...

Not everyone is a fan of wallpaper but most of you know this particular decorista LOVES her some wallpaper.

Decorating idea...things on walls

So here is a thought. If you don't like art or sunburst mirrors like the rest of us, it can be extremely confusing for you all to know exactly what to put on your walls. Something I have been noticing in the glossies lately are these gorgeous groupings of collections. Mary Macdonald, Miles Redd and the like, all use this clever trick for keeping the walls different and interesting. I'm totally into it.

Style-icious Sunday {romantically red and in love}

With Valentine's Day approaching tomorrow love is definitely in the air and red is everywhere in the city. Pops of red are all in the beautifully decorated store windows, it's so delightful to see. Today I am inspired by the look of love, red and all things romantic. 

How delicious are all red walls in a library? 

I am completely coveting these shoes...ooh la la...the perfect V-day accessory.

There is nothing that says LOVE like Oscar de la Renta red!

Sometimes, something as a simple pop of red in a chandelier can be so dramatic and fun.

Hope you have all enjoyed your V-day weekend.

white done right: the bookcase edition

I've said before how much I love to add color in bookcases by painting the back but there is always, always room for an all white bookcase. Letting the accessories and books be the brilliant color for the room can really be fab. I am loving the style of these all white bookcases, definitely done right.

Style-icious Sunday {mad about NEON}

I don't know if its the white + snowy winter here in nyc or what but I am craving everything NEON. It's like a pop of happiness in any weather or in any room for that matter. I'm loving hot pink lips, bright green lamps in otherwise muted rooms, pops of neon colored artwork, bright purple nail polish, anything neon lucite, yellow handbags and neon blue walls. This relaxing sunday I am taking inspiration from the gorgeous fluorescent colors of the world...they are all the rage and oh so glam!

secret of domestic bliss #43...colorful couches

When working with clients, most people shy away from color, but in the end always want a little more. It's really normal to be reluctant to dropping down a pile of cash for a bright and beautifully colored sofa.   I get it. I really do. However, in light of some recent decor discoveries, I have found that some of the most stunning spaces are using bright, colorful sofas and they look fantastic. I am starting to think that sometimes, it might be just what you need to make your home stand apart. I'm smitten over some of the couches with completely gorgeous hues. In my next apartment, I might just have to get one.

I even semi think this super vintage + retro sofa looks perfect in this uber hip space...
