Bethenny Frankel's New Apartment 02/29/2012
0 Comments
 
Picture
I have been a follower of Bethenny since she appeared on the Martha Stewart Apprentice. She has a great sense of style on a tight budget. Bethenny purchased her new apartment in Tribeca, NY last August. Recently the new season of Bethenny Ever After aired, sharing her new pricey pad. I can't wait to see how they spruce it up. I do hope that she stays true to her thrifty stylish ways, eventhough, I know she doesn't have to :) Take a look at the new house...soon to be home!

Not sure how to display your photos? Have a blank wall to cover? Look at these picture/art walls. Take inspiration from their composition, not their subject matter :)

Clever Photo Arrangements - Where's the Thermostat? 02/22/2012
0 Comments
 
I saw this post over at Apartment Therapy and had to share it. I have encountered this problem in my own home. I could never understand why the builder put our thermostat in the middle of our wall? I have thought of having it relocated, but after seeing this article I have found my solution :)

Do you need to buy a second or third vacation home? Are you a die hard Disney fan? Then you may be interested in Disney World’s new Golden Oak development in Orlando, FL. This is an upscale, gated and guarded subdivision just three miles away from Disney World. Prices range from $1.5 to $8 million. If you aren’t in the market to buy today, you can just sneak a peak and dream about it :)

Brooke Shields home featured in Architectural Digest March 2012 issue is stylish, yet effortless. There is a cozy, comfortable feeling about her home. Much of this feel was created by designer, India Hicks.  The two are friends and together made this house into a beautiful space.

"The decorating of the house has really just been an extension of our friendship ..... it's been remarkably collaborative and much more a case of helping out friends" - India Hicks, Architectural Digest

Next Stop ICELAND: Kex Hostel, Reykjavik 02/07/2012
0 Comments
 
I came across this cool modern hostel located in Reykjavik, Iceland over at Dwell. This new hostel concept has been an instant hit with locals & tourists. There are dorm style rooms as well as private rooms with private bathrooms. I am fascinated by its eclectic Americana style. The owner/designer has collected vintage American furniture and accessories over time. Then they had the pieces shipped overseas to furnish and decorate the hostel. The results are warm and welcoming! Take a look :)

It's not like I new what it looked like before, but it looks fabulous now :)  I would love the opportunity to stay in one of the suites or have dinner at the Wolf Gang Puck restaurant or maybe just a drink by the pool. Enjoy the photos!

Pop of Color, Little Risk =Big Reward! 02/02/2012
0 Comments
 
If you gravitate toward color and want to incorporate it into your décor, the best way is to add a pop of color. First start with the a neutral palate. Your essentials: sofa, chairs, end tables, dining table, and wall color should all be neutral. That doesn’t mean they all need to be beige. Neutrals can be black, white, grey, tan, taupe, brown, metals, wood finishes. etc. Then choose your pop of color. This can be a trendy color that appeals to you or a color that always makes you smile. Incorporate your pop of color into your space through art work, pillows, rugs, accent furniture, and accessories. You don't need to cover every surface with your color. You will want to distrubute the color sparingly. Take a look a the following interiors to see great examples of adding a pop of color to neutral rooms.
