Beach bum...

There's nothing like the ocean in this summer heat... laying on the beach, with sand between your toes... who can ask for anything more...

Obsession: Decorating with plates...

Covering a bare wall in a cascade of decorative plates is a wonderful addition in any room... black and white patterns mixed with solid white plates set against a dark wall makes a dramatic impact... 

Looking for a less traditional take on kitchen backsplash, a friend of mine has decided to decorate his kitchen space with beautiful Fornasetti decorative plates... while his collecting has just begun, here are a few photos to inspire... happy Monday!!!

Zebra stripe inspirations...

This zebra striped, mauve and cream colored tablecloth adds major elegance to this dining room, usually not expected from such a bold pattern; updated, yet tasteful... This table setting is such a breath of fresh air, a break from the traditional white linen... Here is some zebra stripe inspired eye candy to brighten up your Monday... Happy Monday!!!

New York State of Mind...

New York, New York...Such enchanting places with wonderful interiors and exteriors... love the splashes of red, the grand chandeliers, black and white features throughout, quilted walls, bright lights and neutral tones... such a wonderful playground...
