A peak into a fabulous home office dubbed as the “mom cave” filled with thrifty finds…

image

I finally caught up on some reads with online shelter mags and realized I been missing out on some office eye candy! I love a room that has an eclectic mix of styles and colors. One that has visual richness from the colors and textures. One that oozes femininity but still has masculine structured touches. And to have the beauty of ones heels on display? Yes ma’am…visualgasms for me.

Saudah Saleem of Saudah Saleem Interiors is very house proud. She decided she and her husband could function with a bedroom in a smaller room with just the bed and nightstands, allowing the master to convert into her closet/office/mom cave.

The lamp was a thrift store find and paired with a linen shade and greek key trim found on clearance at walmart…

She didn’t want heaviness that a wooden desk would bring considering the bookshelves so she opted for a sawhorse desk with a glass top to keep if airy and allow you to see the beauty of the rug.

Her tips for creating a space that fits your needs is to start with assessing the room or area and determine the crucial functions. Next is determining what inspires you and the things that make you happy. Not to get caught up in the rules of design and instead make your own rules. Always purchase what you love and you’ll love what you have. I think those are great tips…

Asymmetrical VS Symmetrical…

{The Aestate Tumblr}

Some people think symmetry in design is boring and too safe. I personally love it but if something isn’t symmetrical, I prefer that it’s at least balanced. By that I mean, if there is a console table with a lamp on one side and a plant on the other, I would want them the same height. If a mirror and a pic is hung over nightstands, I’ll need them to be hung at the same height. So what are your thoughts? First what do you think of this fabulous mirrored greek key console table? Such a statement piece…

White Christmas trees and multi-hued ornaments…

I used to HATE white trees with a passion. I loved the kind that looks like snow fell on them but solid white trees? I’d pass. However I do like the way these are decorated. Do you like white trees or prefer green?

I’m not even really into super busy print wallpaper though my friend who loves butterflies may like this. I DO however love the mixture of patterns like greek keys and chevron. So fun! And the gifts wrapped with real ribbon…love it. Plus the python print tray and silhouette pillows are all on my fab list. Though I prefer my tree to be filled with ornaments, I do like how hers pick up all the colors of the space. Matching your tree with your home decor makes it aesthetically pleasing to the eyes…

Sidenote: Christmas is my favorite holiday but I don’t want to turn this blog into a Christmas blog so holiday post will be about, 2 or 3  a week. Interior design will still remain number 1 ;-)
