ECLECTIC CHIC...

Now ordinarily I would call this type of post an "office space of the day", this room deserves all of that credit and then some...
So, I really thought I owe it to the designer, Suzanne Eason, to break down my affections for this room. This particular office was decorated for a Holiday House, its not a real persons office. I just think its so wild, different and fresh...I have been looking for some new inspiration and I think this office did just that for me.
 The wallpaper is so fun and artsy, I am really digging it. It pairs perfectly with the dramatic blue velvet drapery and the details of the valence...gorgeous! Oh, and to top this off, the gorgeous serpent rug just seals the deal. This is the year of the snake after all.

WANDERLUSTING: The Grand Hotel Oslo Part 1

 It's no secret that I love to travel and I'm sure you all can guess how much I love hotels...
I mean...don't we all? I think it might be my life dream to travel the world and review the hotel decor around the globe. How interesting would that be? Well, I am always in constant search online for the best decorated hotels and this one, is one of those that just does it for me.
The Grand Hotel Oslo just might be in my top 5 list of places I must stay. One of my best girl friends on the net Dagny, is the creative director for Fargerike (a Norwegian paint company). Each year when the new color of year comes out they redecorate a suite with the color theme in mind. This year its purple! 
 My favorite part of the suite is the study & bedroom. I love the deep plum wallpaper with gold curtains setting the perfect combination. Then, when you look up a pretty light blue ceiling and killer chandelier. This whole look literally makes my knees weak. It makes for such a fab place to get some work done. Then, you walk back into the romantic bedroom. A touch of vintage with the right amount of gold for glamour and then the deep red curtains add a little luxe to the equation.
 
 I think this little orange stool is such a cute little guy too, love his rich color. Couldn't you just imagine staying here? I would never see the sights, I'd stay in my hotel all day! 



 I love the way the chandelier is accented with such a chic swag. I am also really loving deep purple with vibrant red. Maybe I should add a little of this to my bedroom...
