I love to think of the hardware and knobs/pulls/handles on our furniture and cabinets as if they are jewelry for our furnishings. Those are the little details and extras that you can play with and have fun with and give a piece a whole new look by simply just changing those little details. Depending on the space you're working with, this can really enhance the overall look you're going for just with changing those simple … [Read more...]
Luxe Home Accessories
Yesterday I shared a bit of my home and had big issues... TV placement, wall tearing up or keeping as is, but I think what makes a room special are all the extras that was place in our space. On our coffee tables, in our bookshelves, on our sideboards and end tables. They're the little "sprinkles" for our room. Kinda like our jewelry is to a great outfit, these home accessories make our rooms sparkle just a bit more. I recently found some … [Read more...]

So as I'm opening my emails this week, these lovelies from Statements By J happened to be … [Read more...]

Hollywood Regency Design Elements
Today I'm following up on a post I shared last week, a post on interior design and a certain look called Hollywood Regency. In case you missed it, here it is. I LOVE it because it's so eclectic and reflective a fab finds of what pieces and treasures we put together, plus it's a reflection of an era when life was about glam and entertaining and being social and being FABULOUS. It has a timeless, classic element to it, with a flair of over the … [Read more...]
Design Elements: Mirrored Furnishings
There are some design elements I think that should be in every home. Whether there is something of this in every room or maybe just in some form or shape sprinkled here or there, I think mirrored furniture (even if it's a mirror on the wall) simply belongs. Usually done in accent pieces, either a side table, a nightstand, a buffet piece, a coffee table, even parts of your bed as you'll see, or something as simple as a mirror over the fireplace … [Read more...]

Accent Tables
A cute accent table is like having the perfect accessory, but with function as well. Love cute little accent tables tucked next to the right chair, the right corner, the right place. Here are some living areas I found on Pinterest that showed some beautiful accent tables being put to good use. These little accent tables are smaller than end tables and add a cute touch to … [Read more...]
