I'm a little obsessed with this loft that was recently featured in Lonny. This space started with an industrial look but transformed into this warm eclectic space. Designed by Homepolish designer Allison Petty, she pulled warm tones with the golds and velvets that made the space inviting, comfortable, and very welcoming. We might not live in loft apartments with brick walls, but there are lots of great inspirations we can … [Read more...]

Spring Decor In The Home
We are officially into April and that means spring has FINALLY arrived. We can't always be outside to enjoy the lovely weather this time of year can bring, but we can certainly bring elements of the season into the home. When I think of Spring I think of new life, cheer, happiness, rejuvination, color and freshness. You can see a recent tv spot I did on KSBI52 Oklahoma Live show…. Key points to think remember: Bright … [Read more...]
Office REVEAL
So finally. I am here with the REVEAL. I have had this long over due. The decisions, the thinking, the analysis on all of it... You can see the discussions of it HERE and HERE, along with before pics. Because TODAY my friends, you get the AFTER!! So, needless to say, I ended up KEEPING the dark wood, as it was advised it's SUCH a classic thing, the wood IS an expensive thing to ruin if I paint it anything else, resale value of the house, … [Read more...]

A Room With A View
For those who love Paris, this post is dedicated to you. Upon arrival to the city of love, I was in awe. My jaw had dropped as the driver from the airport was taking us to our apartment that we had rented for the week. This was my first time visiting Paris, and of course I had seen it photographed oodles of times, but actually being there and seeing it in person was indescribable. So, as we approach our apartment, drool begins to come out of … [Read more...]
Introducing Stardust Chairs
I had been on a hunt for a long time to find chairs for my new kitchen dining table. My previous table was a Bernhardt set I got when I got married 16 years ago. And yes, it cost us a small fortune back then, but it was time for them to GO. I found my new table solo, so I held out on the chairs till I found just the right thing. I knew exactly what I wanted and waited till I found just that. I'm SO glad I did because I found it when I least … [Read more...]

Dining Chairs
I vaguely remember sharing this topic with you before, in fact even possibly a few of these pics you might have seen. (kinda like Pinterest... HAVEN'T I PINNED THAT BEFORE??) I got a fabulous dining table for my kitchen minus the chairs... Chairs weren't part of the package. So for now, I am living with my older Bernhardt chairs that need to GO. Here's the table and what I have going on with them that need … [Read more...]
Kelly Wearstler
My first experience with Kelly Wearstler's incredible style was on my stay at the boutique hotel, the Estrella in Palm Springs in 2003. I was in awe of the awesome rooms, the impact of just the simple white rooms with black and yellow accents, very neoclassical accents, very hollywood glamour. From that moment on she become one of my most favorite designers. Not long after that, watching The Apprentice on tv, I shouted out, "OMG! THAT CONDO! … [Read more...]
