While going through Pinterest I noticed trend on my DIY board. There are so many things you can paint around the home…some unexpected to spruce up things up and add color. I especially dig Ikea’s gold leaf transformation of a basic chair. Check out my Pinterest to go to the sites of the projects.
Love the way the photographer captured this. I also like the way Kelly filled each area of wall space with art. Sometimes we feel like we’re unable to hang art if it’s a weird wall space. This proves you can.
Dark and dramatic but seemingly comfortable….
The lighting is pretty funky…
Pretty outdoor setting…
This decorative gold mirror trumps a medicine cabinet any day.
I am just in awe of the materials she uses for surfaces and walls. Everything ia bold and in your face.
I like how the geometric arch is echoed in the sofa below…

I am debating on how I want to design my bedroom. It has the Moroccan feel which I intend to keep. But if I paint a wall a charcoal gray, the last thing I want to do is have all dark bedding. So I’d need to step my white sheet game up. I still want some soft and feminine elements but I can’t get enough of the streamlined, contemporary and minimalistic look of many masculine interiors.

Subway tile is classic but white quatrefoil has a fresh take that still looks timeless. What do you think?
Great repurposing and such a space saver for small galley kitchens…..
One Kardashian family member was quoted saying “If something is merely beautiful as a piece of art, that’s one thing. But when you need to live in a space and have it function as your life does, that’s where good design happens.” I agree. I watch that family’s show and it’s spinoffs…..sue me. But part of the reason is the settings backdrop has always been fabulous. I like deep tones and lots of textures, elements of Hollywood glam with reflective finishes all the while keeping the space liveable. You don’t view their home as a place you can’t relax in and touch and it’s something I feel Jeff Andrews has designed quite well. It’s luxurious in the materials but still has a liveable comfortable aesthetic. I’d move in…..sans all the people.
I believe Kourtney Kardashian was interviewed here by Oprah…
If you need to set the table and don’t have a budget for a lot of flowers, space them out in as many vases as possible. It makes a bigger impact…
