I love damask, and black and white, so this wallpaper has got my attention. The wallpaper graphic is a large pattern and has a pattern repeat of 27”, which means it would make a big statement on your wall. What statement you ask, well, something on the line of “Yes, thank you, I do have GREAT taste”. Outspoken? –No, just bold and fabulous. Style: BC1581410 by Design by Color.
White rococo and baroque style mirrors are quite popular and populous, the painted white frame on these mirrors modernizes otherwise overly ornate scrollwork and carving. Take a look, can you tell which of these retails for $695? How about another listing at $49.95? Answers below…..
My, my, my, did it get hot in here or is it just me? Hmmm, it might just be the hot vibes from this hot pink chaise by Laurel Crown Furniture. If you are a fan and would consider going this daring albeit fabulous route, you must be careful and pair this one of a kind with some black (or white) and neutral tones. No need to paint a red accent wall in this room.
Would you love a punch of color, but have a hard time committing to a new hue to cover your vanilla walls? I will meet you half way with the Floral Flock Wall Stickers by StickyUps. Each pack contains 3 giant wall stickers to position any where you need a bit of kick. Another great site for wall graphics is Wall Slicks by Modern Wall Graphics; check out Paisley and Goth (which is actually more frilly and fun than the name suggests). There really isn’t a better way to get wall graphics with such clean lines and consistency- much better than hand-painting.
The g, the flagship of the Monogram Hotel Group, is a smashing design that would delight any traveler. Designed by Galway native and hat-designer extraordinaire, Philip Treacy; every room is an art show in true form. The Pink Salon is what originally drew my attention; the hypnotizing vortex patterned carpet, the hot-bikini pink on the walls, and the Andy Warhol-print chairs. As hot and flirty as the Pink Salon radiates, just see how cool and aloof the Grand Salon is….
Are you are fortunate enough to have a room (two stories or not) to devote to hard covers and classics stacked to the ceiling? This fabulous library by Gluckstein Design is not at all stuffy and dark, but so rich and inviting; all due to subtle lighting and well selected finishes.
As much of interest to mathematicians as it is to artists, as relevant to physics as to architecture; symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world. Illustrated with old engravings and original work by the author, this book moves from church windows and mirror reflections to the deepest ideas of hidden symmetries in physics and geometry, music and the arts, left- and right-handedness.

We moved to a house with a bigger kitchen -which meant more storage room; and that was all the encouragement I needed to buy lots of things I don’t use/ need. This however, is so clever and chic, how could I not? This garlic press is a superior design of its predecessors, it has slots, not holes so it is easier to clean, and it even houses extra garlic cloves in his little glass home. Plus I wouldn’t store it away in a drawer; this little beauty can sit right on my counter.

White painted cabinets aren’t always a cold white know you, they also come in a vast assortment of creams and linens and glazes, each oozing warmth and comfort- if you know how to pair it up with everything else that is. This kitchen featured here above was put together in mostly monochromatic tones. To keep it from becoming boring, the trick is varying heights, varying tones, and most of all varying TEXTURE.
