THAT´S HOT

I thank God that for some reason people are beginning to realize how important it is to place the HOT in our hut, not just fill in the blank spaces of our home cramming furniture forced in hard; It almost hurts my heart when I visit homes that have been jammed in a tug-a-war between the lungs of the room choked by a piece of furniture that does not belong there and that something they never found to keep the air flowing through the room... I mean OUCH! That to me, would be like having a boyfriend just because you need to have someone to take you to the movies or to be your dancing partner, and this desperate need to settle has blinded you to see that he still has not conquered your heart just your daily routines, no...no...no! That is a NO with capital letters, I just cant even think of the possibility of how we could place a piece in our home that was not specifically selected for the space to serve a purpose, we just cant buy things without falling in love with it you know? 100% and breath taking love, like the whole romance love song, hand written love letters, I heart so and so carved in a tree trunk ordeal, we have to be head over heels over the furniture and accessories we bring to our home, think about it... we don´t take just anybody to meet our parents, think like that when you buy furniture because trust me you will want to sign the divorce papers after a few months from the day you bought it. Enjoy the process of falling in love with that specific piece that makes you 100% sure that it will embrace the space with love and your home with that WOW factor feel and when you do so, give me a call to come over and visit, I´ll bring the wine!!!  (wink, wink).  That´s hot!

DARE TO DARRYL YOUR HOME

If there was ever a designer whose work embodied the rustic spirit of the sporting South—faded leather, antique taxidermy, and all—that designer would be Darryl Carter.

How can we deny that for someone who fell into design almost by accident he possesses a natural talent and flawless taste. Carter a lawyer by trade is a firm believer in keeping it simple. He believes that most great rooms can come together with just a few thoughts in mind: adapt, blend and create. I am in love with the scent and touch that he leaves in any space he passes by with like a magic wand unfolding the house in a way that makes sense, with each room flowing gracefully into the next creating a sense of intimacy and balance. Darryl´s theory in design is poetry in i´t full potential. Calm, simple, chic and “I’m not prone to gratuitous embellishment,” he says. “I like fewer objects that are meaningful in a space.”  Ohhhh dear! I think I am in love! Carter is a breed of his own he who is loved by all and loves all, he who is equally comfortable with opera and hip-hop and understands that there are 179 shades of white and that white is a color makes it almost impossible to comprehend how he can still remain strong in masculinity and self confidence with a twist of down to earth, rugged and funk. The Washington D.C designer has now gone global launching his new furniture collection for Thomasville and a bestselling book  The New Traditional. I hope you can enjoy his work as much as i do and keep learning from this master of design.

  

HOW LOUD IS YOUR YELLOW!

So this morning I was driving to work with a beautiful feeling in my head, it was waking my senses up to the point that everything inspired me, the sunrise, the motorcycle flying passed me, so much that I wanted to jump on up with him to just grab hold of the bursting feeling of being alive and awake... ufff and all of a sudden I realized I had Coldplay on playing their amazing song called " yellow" and hellloooo..... That is when I noticed that the song was the melody that triggered this happy-go- lucky ooh am so happy to be wild feeling and slowly this indescribable love began to grow inside me for the color YELLOW, that had never happened to me ever.... But if you think about it the color yellow is very fearless, strongly imposed, kind of like it speaks it´s mind in a weird kind of way, it is so bright and alive and maybe I had never realized this today that i was surfing through the web and found these examples in how yellow plays its roll pretty wisely elegantly wild and hey I like that about yellow, he is beginning to grow on me even though chris martin had a whole lot to do with it am standing ground on it. I LOVE YELLOW and I can´t deny it.  Yes am yellow and proud! passionately loud!

AMAZING DECOR INSPIRATIONS
I love the contrast between texture, color and style perfectly tied down.

Ussualy I would not use a curtain like this one but the rest is great.

Can you love bath´s any more? I just want to live in that bath tub day and night, all I would need is some  louis armstrong and am set for life.

This is a great way to massage your sleeping time in inspiration.

Idea! click..... A light bull just went off in my head! I love unique inspirations to light up a room don´t you?

Perfecttttt...  No need to say the elegance!

TO WHITE RIGHT
Who would know that these days i would be so in love the the color white, I have always been attracted to bright flashy colors but now i have this crazy obsession with white.  I think many of you would agree with me that white gives us a sense of purity and cleanliness I love going into a home where white is the key player in this whole decor ball park immediately i feel welcomed into a home of peace and love. You cannot go wrong with white ever! I encourage you to indulge yourself in the exciting adventure to decorate with white, trust me you will feel a great deal of peace when you are done.

NEW SOMETHING´S TO GIVE!

DIANE KEATONS HOME DECOR LINE

We have all loved Diane Keaton as she starred away in the big screen, but seriously? Can we love her even more? It is no secret that Diane has a soft spot for decor, her taste is flawless! She almost makes it seem like she would not make a movie unless stunning homes were in her contract. I speak for myself now but I collapsed with love over the Hampton's beach house Keaton’s character lives in the movie Something´s Gotta Give! I went back to see it again like 5 times just to look at the house again, total obsession! And now we may not only remember Diane as Woody Allen´s muse, she has taken her enthusiasm for decor to action, now the actress has taken a step further and branched out as she launched her own home decor line at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It’s industrial chic with subtle colors and patterns and no need to say... terribly affordable. Who was to know that her amazing taste would have a bargain shoppers twist huh? I am gonna have to say that I want to be like her when I grow up! One million points to her brave and hero self! We love her for making this world a prettier place!

HEADBOARDS TO BE ADORED

How can we give a little push to our body to go to sleep? I have infinite insomnia problems and can´t seem to find that time at night where my head just stops! My mind is like a race horse thinking of this and thinking of that. I am pretty sure there´s a big bunch of other people out there that have this kind of workaholic brain and though our body may feel tired and ready to be put out, the mind doesn't let it rest. I don´t know if it happens to some of you but the bed where we sleep makes a big difference in how much rest we are going to get and to me, the way the bed looks is very important. I know how vain right?.....But its true! So i gathered some fun ideas to how you can create a great headboard for your bed and be happy to where your brain rests, whether you are the trendy type or the classic type you can be able to find a headboard that suites your personality, I tend to think of sleep like if its where i renew my self and be born again! I hope you enjoy these ideas and finally put that to rest.
