Brett Beldock designs an UNREAL Teen's bedroom!

I just found my newest design crush! Brett Beldock of Brett Design Inc.

(I am kind of shocked I hadn't heard of her before!)

Her style is whimsy, yet sophisticated, dramatic, but not in your face.  Beldock also has a line of wall coverings through Stark too.
So basically, she's got serious cred. 

Anyway - check out this amazzzing teen's bedroom.  I totally would love this room for myself.

 (Just swap in a larger sized bed and we'd be golden!) 

What an amazing seating area too!

Love this lounge/chill spot. 

Great idea to use vintage/mid-century glass bottles and wire to make into a desk lamp.  Very original without looking too crafty or cheese.

From the personal file... Shine by S.H.O.

Are you familiar with Shine by S.H.O.? Well, if not - here's a quick intro.:
Susan Hornbeak Ortiz is the designer for this insanely gorgeous brand of Interior decorations including lighting, upholstery, furniture, case goods, and so much more.  It's a lifestyle brand with a serious eye for stunning and on point with trend pieces.  I am in LOVE with everything.  It has a boho, glamorous vibe to it - which is my absolute most favorite!

Here are a few images from their recent lookbook.  I die!

This is 100% ME!  Loves.

3 Upholstered Headboards, 3 Different Ways

I am a huge fan of the upholstered headboard.  

So - check out these three stunners, all different spins on fabulousness!

I am really into kelly green and white.  Such a gorgeous combo. Obviously I am jocking that bamboo side table - but in general I love this preppy vibe with the matching kelly green bed skirt.  

Chic + Happy + Prepster =  Loving it!

Love this bedroom from Lonny.  The printed headboard paired with the beautiful draperies and purple lamps is truly a stunner.  I loooove this whole look, its really put together well!

This bedroom was designed by Suzanne Kasler - chic, gorgeous, lovely, soft, dreamy!

Glam at its finest.

 Charcoal Walls + A pair of Pink Shades  + Unreal Chandelier =

Romantic Glamour!

This is exactly how I want to walk into my home every day.

From the personal file.... A gorgeous living room.

Bright, happy, cozy, intimate.

Loving this living room for so many reasons.

The chandelier is insane, the turquoise and white chairs are awesome, 

and I love the wall color with the beautiful molding and huge windows.

A black and white room with a bit of chrome

I love this space.  The chrome lamps, the greek key pillows, the sleek sofa, and the gorgeous rug! Stunner. 

Malachite wishes and Gold dreams... From the Personal File

Kelly Green, Malachite, and gold are soooo on my radar.  Love. 

(I'd probably switch out the lamp shades for a different shape, and change the fabric on the green accent chair... but it all still looks fab!)

Living Room Delight

This living room space is gorgeous!  There are so many things I like about it, I don't even know where to begin.
1. The pair of standing lamps.
2. The  6 framed prints of art.
3. The matching sofas are gorg!
4. Adler rug - terrific!
5. The soothing color pallete.

Perfection!

Minty fresh bedroom

This bedroom has style, the kind of style that isn't trying too hard to be cool, oozes off the perfect amount of style (those mid-century modern nightstands are fab).  This is a room that you wouldn't get sick of, and feels clean, modern, yet still warm. 

Designed by Erica Leblanc

Delightfully Symmetrical

 I love rooms that have pizzazz, and this room below definitely has some delightful eye candy.  

The chandelier, pair of lamps, and the art of over the mantle are absolutely gorgeous and make the room come to life.   It's actually a quite simple room - those 3 key pieces really lift it up!

From the personal file - Jan Showers

This room is amazzzzing.
1. Dark, charcoal and moody walls. (and I love how designer, Jan Showers matched the curtains to the walls).
2. Bargello pillows
3. Zebra hide rug
4. Gold coffee table

Brilliant

Chic-Divine-Glam Console

How unreal and happy and bold is this? Love a good striking set up!

Shop like a designer....

Tip: All you need in a room to make it pop - is one show stopper.  For instance in this room via In Style Home (2004) are those amazing silver ball lamps.  The entire room vanishes because your eye immediately goes to those lamps.  So keep that in mind when you are looking at something fabulous.

For instance - these lamps below (which I stupidly left at the Long Beach flea market a month back)!  Pretty unreal.

A pretty combination of things....

 Lots of bamboo, pale turquoise, wallpaper, pillows, geometric shapes, and patterns galore!

Romantic Modern Bedroons

I always use to think that romantic bedrooms had to be super traditional or shabby chic.  

I have been mistaken.

From the personal file....

 I absolutely love this foyer.
1. animal print pair of ottomans
2. the color combo
3. the greek key console
4. matching lamps
5. the art

All gorgeous!!!  This was designed by Ashley Whittaker.  Brilliant.
 (Sorry guys.... until I seal the deal on my foyer/office situation, you are going to see a lot of these types of pics)

Long Beach Flea Market Round Up!

If you read my blog often, you will notice that every month (3rd Sunday) I attend the Long Beach Flea Market. It's my absolute FAVORITE and everytime I go - I find something absolutely amazing.  Honestly - Long Beach in general is just amazing for finding cool home decor.  This time around there was a lot of chinoiserie. 

So... Please come along for the ride and I'll give you a quick tour!

These gold lamps I am actually kind of kicking myself that they didn't come home with me.  They are the chicest things I have ever seen.  Stupid.  I would have found an amazing spot for them.  Oh well.  Each time I go there is always that one thing... These lamps would be "it" for this go round.

Lets go with creepy... BUT creepy in a good way.  They were just expensive.  $50 each.  The dealer said they were antique glove molds.  I was thinking they were hands for Edward Scissorhands. JK.  Would be great for jewelry, or just a weird decorative statement.

I debated on these.  They were $10 for the pair of needlepoint vintage pictures.  I just had no clue where they would go. 

Bar carts are so popular right now.  This one was way cool - but needed a thorough Brasso job.

How sweet is this.  If it were Spring, I'd debate this.  It would be kind of cool to spray paint this a wild color.

Flea markets are great places to find storage and organization stuff.  This was an African dealer selling beaded necklaces and baskets.  These would be great as a magazine holder, a toy basket for the dog stuff, recycling, a whatever you need bin.

A fabulous elephant garden stool.  I already have one, but if I didn't - this would be the one for me!  Love the all white clean look.

A gorgeous pair of accent chairs.  Spindle love.

Loved these.  They would be fantastic really shined up.

Well if you haven't opened up a design magazine in the past 4 years... then this is the obvious staple.  I love bamboo.  Its past trend now - its a classic.  Or has it always?

For the TV buffs - The Gray's Anatomy book.

Fabb.

A coat of paint a custom cushion would do wonders to this chair.

Hope you enjoyed!

From the personal file...

This right here pretty much sums up my look.  I love this.  It's bright and chinois-happy.  It's got a gold bamboo coffee table, a tufted settee, a cow hide rug, with an edge with those interesting floor lamps.  Amazzzing.
