Gold is Back
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope that you all are looking forward to at a great weekend ahead of you. With the holidays just around the corner I wanted to take some time to let you in on a little secret.....GOLD IS BACK! Shimmering, luminous, rich, gleaming gold. According to Elle Decor it is a hot trend and I am loving it. This is not the gold that is long in your memory, which is the unfortunate 80’s brass, not one bit! Take a look and see what I mean....
This “updated” gold is so distinguished, sophisticated and polished, don’t you think?
Make it a great day!

Holiday Decor
There is nothing more magical than standing before your beautifully decorated rooms during the holidays with the lights glowing, a hot drink in your hand with family and friends all around.
The days have past where Christmas is restricted to the stand-by colors of red and green. While some prefer to stick with these classic colors, feel free to branch out (pun intended) and create a look that is unique to your style. Here are some tips to creating a look that is elegant and enchanted!
Perhaps you would like your house to feel more like a winter wonderland. With these frosty whites even if it’s not snowing outside, you will feel like a “white Christmas” inside.
Short on space? Tabletop trees can still give you the same Christmas feel when beautifully decorated!
These themed Christmas decors can be both elegant and whimsical.
If you have more of the modern, minimalist style, go with some branches in a
beautiful vase or urn.

Choose a color scheme or theme and carry it through out the room and even to your
tablescapes and mantels.
The crisp cool blue is carried throughout the house.

As you can see, it’s so easy to make your home reflect you on the holidays and don’t be afraid to go away from the classic red and green! Have fun with it while keeping it stylish!

Gift Wrapping in Style!
Getting ready for the holidays can be a major undertaking. My philosophy is, nothing is worth doing unless done right! Love is in the details.
Nothing is better than that jolly feeling I get when seeing my loved ones enjoy a special gift from my heart.

Fight Club
Fight Club
A bachelor pad isn't complete without your own gym - or in this case, a fight room!
If you're going to commit to a fight room, have fun with it. And, why not add some inspiration to keep you moving?
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
I'm inspired... Are you?

Creative Pantry Door.
Think outside the box!
Who wants to show off all that clutter?
One of my wonderful clients had a pantry that was overwhelmingly busy in their stunning sleek kitchen.
Instead of closing it off with something boring and basic, we found a stunning old mirrored door. Result to this dilemma? A statement piece full of character that is functional and a cool illusion.

The coolest chandelier ever!
Image from Intimate Living Interiors
While taking a stroll on the beach one afternoon, I noticed this awesome large piece of driftwood. I instantly grabbed it and hauled it back to my car. I was on the hunt for a chandelier that would be unique and leave that lasting impression on anyone who entered my clients home.
With some creative thinking and a FAB team we were able to transform this FREE very cool rustic piece of drift wood to a one of a kind stellar Chandelier!
Here's how we did it..
Find a cool piece of wood
Grab some Edison lights.
You can purchase these at Restoration Hardware or most lighting stores.
Find pendant hardware
Ace or Home Depot should have these.
Use rope or twine to wrap cover any unattractive wiring
Use an electrician or handyman to help you with the wiring and installation.
Enjoy!
