You ever see a room you love but there’s one thing that irks your soul or something you don’t favor? Well usually I won’t blog about a room I dislike. I use this blog to compile all ideas I do enjoy and if a space isn’t my aesthetic, I may pinpoint what I DO like but I try not to be negative and slam anyone’s design if I dislike because design is subjective. There are times I see a room and won’t blog about it because I am sick of sea urchins in decor. But the room is too fab not to…so I decided on a new series “If I could change 1 thing”….

With that said, this room is nice. Love the pillows and how the turquoise compliments the leopard. What I would change? The rug. I am down for mixing patterns but with the sofa, rug and art…I feel it’s too much competing for attention. I like them separate but not together so I would keep the art and sofa & opt for a rug with more of a subtle design. What would you change?

Halogen lights cast the purest white light which are said to be idea for illuminating most art. But they generate heat so they need to be placed far away enough to not affect it.

My towers and stand are going thru a new look. I am keeping the doors off and debated on painting the insides but I kind of like the contrast of the gold and sour apple green. This is temporary styling as I still have way more stuff to spray paint and edit.

Over the weekend I tried my hand at calligraphy. These will be framed with a white mat and black or gold frame for my den. Which I am still debating on gallery wall versus leaned on the wall. I’m leaning toward….leaning them. #nopun

Bought these shot glasses from the Goodwill and they were used for the first time. They are like a gunmetal ombre color and I love them. Ever see something thrifting and leave it and later regret it? Well that’s what I feel about these as there were at least 8 and I only bought 2 with the intent of using it as a votive candle holder. Smh. Why didn’t I buy them all to style my bar cart (that I don’t have yet?)
