I am a sucker for fab designs in hotels. It’s most definitely one of the key deciding factors on where I book. QT Sydney has an aesthetic that is sexy, cozy, and luxe. Notice how lighting plays a part in creating the ambience.

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

So I was sitting in my car polishing my nails hot pink and placed them on my steering wheel when I realized the gray & black interior of my car looked great with the pops of pink. Of course the designer in me started thinking of gray walls and how bright abstract art and pink accents would look…
Absolutely LOVE houndstooth patterns….

Symmetry in Design…
I always like a little symmetry in a room. Yeah, sometimes it can be a bit stale but there’s something so neat about a room or area of a space that’s perfectly symmetrical. It creates visual balance. I really like to see symmetry on console table areas in an entry or mantel. What are your thoughts?
If this blacked out office isn’t gorgeous, I don’t know what is. It’s so masculine yet stylish. I love the grommet details on the chairs as well as the gold accents throughout. Need help with designing male friendly spaces? Click HERE.
