Major Mini Bars

A Tip for those who like to get a little Tipsy from time to time:

Wet Bars may be a thing of the past, but pretty little mini bars are definitely a hot item for those who like to entertain. You don't have to look like you are stuck in the 80's with a built-in bar including a sink and cabinets. A little roll away or buffet with a few decorative pieces, cocktail glasses and interesting liquor bottles can do the trick and add so much more than some fun to your party.

RUSTic

Love everything about this room I found over on honestly wtf. I'm going crazy over gray couches, mixing textiles, fur pillows and the color rust, and somehow this room managed to capture all of those things in one. It's the perfect mix of rich & rustic, bravo!



Beautiful Bookshelves

Here is a post for all of my fellow bookworms out there.

I used to HATE buying books for myself to fulfill all of my reading desires. It seemed much more practical to borrow a book from a friend or the library because, let's face it, books can be pricey. That was until I realized that a great book can be much more than a great read, but a great decor item as well!


But my new love is bookshelves. It probably has something to do with the endless hours I have been putting into browsing for home office inspiration towards my client's project I have been working on. This fun project has left me dreaming of what my own dream future home office will look like. There are many pretty little ideas floating around in my mind, but if one thing is for sure, it is that my office will definitely be rocking an awesome bookshelf.

What type of Elegant are you?

Who doesn't like an elegantly styled room? Classy and sophisticated are far from negative design terms. The question is: what TYPE of an elegant style do you like?



Are you a Glam Girl?
This room has just enough sparkle to make any glamorously elegant designer's heart throb.


Are you a fan of cozy comfort?
The neutral color palette combined with luxurious furs, mixed textiles, and dark leathers leave this room with a rich, cozy feel.


Are you a vintage lover?
If you love the hunt for vintage finds like Victorian mirrors and chandeliers, you know your a fan of vintage elegance.


Are you the traditional type?
You may not be known for taking risks, but at least you know your style is timeless!


Are you eclectic?
Mixing patterns and having a few interesting statement pieces does the trick for eclectic lovers.


So.....
which elegant style are you??

Macaron Madness


I remember the first time I had a macaron- it was love at first sight. How could you not fall in love with these adorable little french cookies? They look like mini hamburgers on acid in their assortment of neons and pastels. Don't even get me started on the way they taste!

I've been obsessing over the idea of buying some cake displays and putting some of these pretty little guys in one for some fun decor (keeping myself from eating them would be the tricky part). I finally found some inspiration over on the glitter guide. I love how they set the display on top of a few pretty books. What a cute idea for a centerpiece on a coffee table or a kitchen island.

What about you guys, any ideas you've been obsessing over lately?

Faaaalling

Hope everyone had a fun-filled Halloween!

Now that it is November 1st, I am officially in my favorite time of the year. For some reason, it doesn't really feel like fall until Halloween day. I don't know about you guys, but once Halloween hits, I get this giddy little feeling in my stomach, filled with happiness and joy, bringing me back to my childhood days. I guess it's the changing of the trees, cozy sweaters, delicious homemade food and everything else that comes with the holidays.

Here's to the most wonderful time of the year!
