Fall Colors: Falling for Red


Aaah the lovely red room. Not to be confused with red rum.J Ok, tasteless joke out of the way! You know, I have not seen too many red rooms in person, and I do not know why! Look at these beauties! Red is beautiful and vibrant, and appears to make any home look fab. Red seems to amp up the energy and vibrancy of a room, if you ask me. I think everyone needs a red room in their home, at one point in life, at the very least. Enjoy!

Red represents the fire element in Feng Shui. Fire brings high energy into the home. It’s a good color to use for forging your career ahead and making a good reputation for yourself. Red is also a great color for the home if you want a little extra joy, passion, excitement and sexy time! J

You interested in a red room?

Decorating with Drapey Curtains

I know drapey isn’t a word in the English dictionary yet, but I love drapey curtains. Thick, sheer, soft or shiny, make them drape and I love them. I love when they get those sweet folds, and fall gently to the ground. Wow, I’d be fab at writing juicy romance novels! There is something very classy about these curtains. I’d even argue they are rather glamorous, depending how you worked them. Here is a little inspiration for your abode. Enjoy!

Note: I much prefer wood head decor over real heads. Unless you are a hunting enthusiast and hunt the animal yourself, behead it, eat the meat, dole out the parts properly, I'm going to say, not cool. They are more of a trophy, not a trend. Stick to the wood heads if heads on the wall are your thing.  That said, aren't those blue velvet curtains stunning?!

Fall Colors in the Home

Fall colors. They aren’t just colors for fall decorating! I absolutely adore the rich pallet of hues. If you ask me, these rooms look fabulous through all the seasons! I think decorating with these colors in your space makes it very cozy and chic. Who wouldn’t want that? Plus, I’ve been told fall colors are my season color, so it’ll make me look prettier, right? J  Well, regardless if I’m in the room or not, these colors will make any space look pretty dreamy! Don’t you think? J Definitely don’t be shy about using color! Enjoy!

Designer Appreciation Day: Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler. She is all over the internet. And if you haven’t seen her all over the place, you are not poking around on very many sites. I most definitely see why she is all over the place and why everyone is infatuated. Her colors. Her playfulness. Her vibrancy. Muah. Magnificent. As playful as she is, it is obvious how serious she takes her designs. I see no flaws. Not to mention, she designs her own clothes, shoes, furniture pieces, knobs, everything. Her rooms could not be more Wearstler. Have you seen a more glamorous floor than the one in the last picture? I wonder if she designed it. If you want more Kelly Wearstler eye candy, visit her blog at My Vibe Life.

Designer Appreciation Day: Nate Berkus

Designer Appreciation Day is a time where I would like to highlight my favorite designers. The very first designer that I would like to honor and appreciate is Nate Berkus. Aside from his good looks, and fancy smile, the man is gifted. You can see in his work that he is clearly creative and passionate in his designs.  He believes that everyone should love the way they live and that the home is a reflection of who you are, no matter how much money you have. Aw, he has a warm heart. Something we both have in common! :)  That is what I appreciate most about his ideas. No matter what your level of wealth is, or the size of your place, you can create and decorate your own dreamy spaces. Granted, sometimes you need a little extra creativity, such as my case, but it is important to create a place you love to live. Enjoy!

Love, love, love his work! But I'm not diggin the zebra rug. The mane and shape are a little too real looking for my overactive imagination and animal lovin heart. I love a good animal print, but I'm not a fan of the stuffed heads and stripped scalps. Everything else about the room is stunning! 


What do you think about these rooms? What do you think of the zebra rug?

Chandeliers. So Sparkly. So Classic.

I have to say, it has always been on my bucket list to have a chandelier in my home. I have loved them since the day I was born. These rooms show you the range of how dreamy chandelier decorating is in every kind of room.  Chandeliers make any room look at least semi-glamorous, if not full-on glamorous!
