secret to domestic bliss #11 ...get geometric

We all know it's all about the accessories, right?
Something I am really loving lately are these wonderfully cute circular mirrors.
Either Captain's mirrors or simply just a framed circular shaped mirror can do wonders for a space.
It gives a little something extra....like a sweet kiss to the room.
I don't know what it is but they always grab my attention.
Such scene stealers they are! I love them.

Even this little pink devil just amazes me.



They always make a great statement above the fireplace.


A huge one can really make the bedroom rock.

I even adore how one is propped against the fireplace.
Such a statement in a dressing room + in gold, too. love.



i mean...why not get a little crazy, and try two!

What i love about interior spaces are the whimsical little touches.

secret of domestic bliss #6...must add jewels

In order to complete an outfit most girls add earrings.
In attempt to make my home the perfect abode...
I am always on the lookout for a new chandelier.
I could literally fill my house with them!
I think my newest obsession is a black crystal one like this one above...
remember this dining room from Domino? I always loved this image.

swoon worthy things for the home

It is taking all of me to not want to shop today, but I must wait to shop in NYC.
Sometimes I just get in the mood to buy things for my home, especially when I see
beautiful images that inspire me. It's very rare for me to not have something new in my mind that would be perfect for my home...or my wardrobe.
Today I want to share some things that I wish I could run out and buy right now!
I'm probably dreaming a little bit, but its still fun.

a fabulous mirror

clawfoot bathtub
white + gray everything
zen outdoor dining
jewelry boxes
white curtains with a pink stripe
a fantastic pitcher for sangria

hanging lanterns

crystals

Adding some glamour to your home or apartment can be fairly simple. CRYSTALIZE IT. i have been in love with crystals since i was a little girl. they can catch light so brilliantly even at a small size. you can find crystals almost anywhere, ebay, target or any spiritual store for that matter. Some crystals are even said to give good energy to your dwelling. i simply adore these rock crystal items (especially the skull...my girls know how much i love anything pirate. and the Cadillac just screams "guy gift") from JF CHEN.
