Miami home tour with a modern sky blue twist

image

This is pretty much what I think of when I think of Miami penthouses in the sky. The monochromatic color of water with lacquered furnishings and modern lines is quite beautiful.

This mirror is everything…

This is what I thought all furniture would look like after year 2000. Growing up, I thought by now we’d all dress futuristic in silver like TLC, have cars that fly and just very curvy and odd shaped furniture. Don’t judge me. But this would have fit my vision. I like the metallic wallpaper throughout and what was done with the column as well.

Love the metallic thread and sequin elements in Moroccan wedding blankets…

Traditionally Moroccan wedding blankets were made by female relatives of new brides so the bride can wrap themselves in it as she goes to her new home after the ceremony. They add an ethnic global vibe to any interior and with sequins and sparkly threads, it adds a lot of glam. Not only do they make blankets but you can come across rugs and even pillows.

Color Schemes: Coral, peach, black & gray

image

I haven’t contributed to this series in eons but when I came across this color scheme on Design Seeds, I knew I had to find more inspiration so here goes. The dark tones keeps it tailored and masculine but the peachy hues keeps it sweet. This can work well for a nursery, bridal party attire and tablescapes.

Tuesday’s Tips: DIY Ikea lamp inspired by Ralph Lauren’s Brass Helmet Lamp

image

I love those brass mushroom styled lamps but the real deal is a bit pricey. Purchase the Ikea lamp here and after a coat or two of spray paint, you can create your own saving$572.

I’m inspired by bright lacquered animal statues and figurines…

image

Designer Miguel Palacio has something in common with me. We both have animal statues. Mine are a panther and elephant. In giving my old decor new life, I spraypainted mine. Jonathan Adler was the inspiration as his home decor lines always feature bright colored animals. I loved the dogs from the Barbie House he designed here.

So yeah…all of this made me spray paint mine a cobalt blue and chartreuse.

Before and after…

I love how they turned out. I will be posting other spray painted items so follow along on my instagram. See more painted animals below…
