Hi Friends! Hope you are all doing wonderfully well, and are enjoying the Holidays. I’ve been on a painting streak lately, and as I promised, I will share more photos of my works. Our apartment is drowing in paintings at the moment, and if I’m to keep up my hobby at this rate, I’ll need to open a tiny art shop LOL! That would be a fun venture for 2012? How about you, have you made any resolutions yet? New year, new possibilities, right? Have a wonderful evening my Friend =) xox Linda

Pink and orange is one of my all-time favorite color combinations, and when I saw these photos, my heart skipped a beat. This heavenly dining table is styled by Cynthia Martyn of Cynthia Martin Events for a wedding photo shoot.
LYNN MORGAN DESIGN / STRIPE / CORAL
Remember THIS home designed by Lynn Morgan? Well here’s another favorite amongst her work. She started with a crisp white base and layered black to balance out the visual weight of the fireplace, and popped it all with coral pink. The stark color contrast is underlined by the strict symmetry and hard edges. A bit Scandinavian if you ask me =)
This gorgeous bedroom has me dreaming every time I see it. It’s one of Phoebe Howard‘s many masterpieces, and I’ve been drooling over that curvy dream of a headboard for about 3 years now.

Needless to say, I was quite satisfied when I ran across the very same bed at Candelabra. It’s upholstered in Raffia and decorated with nailheads. I Love that the entire bed is upholstered, and not just the headboard. I could definitely get a good night’s sleep in that beautiful bed. On second thought, I think the price tag of $2,400.00 would keep me awake…

Now have you ever tried to find nice coral colored bedding online? It’s not that easy. I always find Williams Sonoma has very pretty ones though. The three in the image above are coral, solid and greek key. (ps. they are all on sale ;)
*
1. Curvy headboard with chunky linen in colorway Ivory, 2. Nailhead trim, 3. Coral bedding.
Not exactly Phoebe Howard material, but I think I could sleep well here too. The curvy headboard is covered with chunky linen in colorway Ivy, the nailhead trim is $3.99 for 100 nails, and the coral bedding is $384.00 for the entire set (king size). Yup, better sleep indeed.

PS: I’m finally on Pinterest, and I’m looking for inspiring people to follow ;)

Last night I came across this gorgeous living room on Veranda.com, and (as per usual) fell madly in love. As I got to reading the interview accompanying the beautiful images, I quickly realized it belonged to the one and only Jennifer Lopez. How interesting!

Jennifer’s home is designed by Michelle Workman, and now I have yet another designer crush. Isn’t this living room amazing? Michelle based the entire home on a color palette of grays subtly infused with color.

I would definitely say this is a glamorous home. So what makes it so glamorous? I believe it starts with the subtle color scheme, brought to life through luxurious velvet and silk fabrics and contrasted with curvy black details and shiny metals. Not to mention the classic furniture with modern twists, and the huge Art Deco influence.

A simple but beautiful vignette in the background. Fresh cut pink flowers are to be found throughout the entire house.

This little brass top hat-and-cane table actually turned out to be a champagne cooler. How fun is that?

Now onto Jennifer’s drop dead gorgeous dining room. Again we see the strong influence of Art Deco in the glass console table and the beautiful powder pink wallpaper.

Tufted velvet dining chairs with nailhead trim? Yes please!
*
Art Deco inspired Tulip Damask wallpaper by Cole & Son. The gold detail really makes this wallpaper come to life, don’t you think?

Blue is the choice color for the kitchen as well. I’d love to get a closer look at the tiles, they look so shiny and pretty. I’m guessing they are shell tiles?

This dining area is just too gorgeous for words. Love everything about it. So much lovely detail, and so perfectly combined.

Another beautiful seating area. The glam factor is upped with shiny chrome details paired with glass surfaces and sleek white furniture.

Now this is what I would call a gorgeous bedroom. Light, pretty and feminine. I’d love to use this BM Home Sweet Home paint color somewhere.

See how perfectly the wall color is picked from the stonework on the fireplace? Not that is how it’s done right!

This is the last picture, I swear! Hope you enjoyed another celebrity home tour, although it was the design itself which attracted me to these images, not the owner ;)

Lovely reader Hilary so kindly requested a Moroccan theme post as inspiration for her bedroom makeover. Ask and you shall receive! My first thought off cause went to these dreamy interiors by Jeffers Design Group:
*
This tiny seating area is a feast for the eye with it’s great shapes, proportion and color. Hypnotizing!
*
The seating area is situated in a hallway in front of this staircase. I know the Moroccan style incorporates a lot of geometrical patterns and beautiful tiles, but I haven’t seen it combined into a beautiful hardwood floor like this before. And what do you think about the carpeting on the stairs? Looks like someone went up before and left a trail of rose petal for you to follow. Very inviting =)

This coral pink living room is topped off with a yellow ceiling and beige furniture. The furniture is pretty low set and simple in design, serving as the perfect backdrop for layering of pillows and fabrics of bright colors and beautiful pattern.
*
Those built in shelves!!
*
A simple but dramatic vignette with a mirror, two symmetrically arranged sculptures and a tray with silver tea service. The high gloss cabinet even has a tassel handle!
*
First thing you notice when walking through the door of this bedroom, apart from the fantastic door itself, has to be that ceiling.
*
Golden beige bedroom with every possible shade and hue of coral. Spicy hot colors!
*
View from the bed. There are so much detail here, even the lamp shades have beaded fringes.
*
I just could not leave this dressing room out.
*
When I think about Moroccan style interiors I think tassels, trays, big soft throw pillows and layering of hot fabrics. Oh yeah, the lanterns and incense too off cause!
