ESSENTIAL ACCESSORY: OBELISKS

Apologies for the lack of post yesterday, my site got hacked and I have no idea how it happened. Such a bummer. Anyway, I am preparing for styling a shoot this next week and I've been hunting for some good styling accessories. One of my most favorite decorating accessories is the ever so sophisticated OBELISK.

Tablescape Tuesday: pretty pops of yellow

Nothing says spring like a bright and sunny pop of yellow in your tabletop decor. Come to think of it, nothing says spring like dining al fresco...my favorite. I'm heading back to LA this week to hit up west week (all sorts of fun design festivities happening) and all I can think about is an outdoor baby shower that I am going to attend. I'm on the decor committee, of course, and right now all signs are pointing me to a teeny pop of yellow.

With my clients, I am always hearing about how husbands and boyfriends are super picky about a space being not too glamorous or girlie.

bliss in the kitch' {the perfect cooking space}

How marvelous is the pristine cooking kitchen. I am absolutely crazy for the gold hardware on the cabinets. DIE! I love that there is just a spot for everything, the utensils, oils, etc. There is even the perfect amount of space for the cookbooks. I could probably get used to waking up and making breakfast here every morning.

The Art of Living...how to decorate a fireplace

The next few days here in New York are supposed to be wildly snowy. So aside from the bevvy of blogger/magazine launch parties this week, I'd love to be bundled up next to the fireplace catching up on the online glossies. Which brought me to the question that most readers ask me... 

"how do I decorate or style my fireplace?"

I am always a huge fan of artwork above the fire, something extraordinarily beautiful to gaze at.

Mirrors work too, they open up the space and with beautiful ornate framing can be a lovely sight.

A combination of both art and mirrors can work extremely well too.

I especially love this purple room and how to use architectural elements (ie. graphic molding) to create a beautiful look with amazing style.
