ON THE HUNT for a Red Chandelier

I just love putting the finishing touches on a clients space...
The final touch for this particular room is going to be a red chandelier but I am in search of just the right one. It's going in a living room with deep navy walls and bright white accents. It's a modern glamorous version of the July 4th color palate, how fitting for this time?
Murano glass ones are usually my go to, but this time I want something unique. Perhaps something vintage with a little bit of a twist. Maybe a red bamboo one or something with some dimensions and swag, like a Tony Duquette masterpiece. He is one of my decor idols after all.
 
 I love how these red chandys give a little pop of exotic edge to these rooms, its like a cherry on top of a perfectly decorated sundae.

Pop of red...

I know Valentines day is long over but I am still so enamored with the beauty of the color red. I don't know what it is lately, but its slowly becoming my favorite new accent color. My new bedroom is all white and I'm in love with it. However, this photo just makes me want to add some luscious and rich deep red curtains. And maybe a few little accents too...


Tablescape Tuesday: red + pink are the colors of LOVE

I just love Valentines day because everything around is pink + red and I love those colors together! 
So, for me, entertaining on this very special day is an ultimate treat. I just love using + mixing the colors of LOVE...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY MY SWEET, SWEET READERS.
In the words of Whitney Houston (God rest her soul)...
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

Styleicious Sunday: radiating red

Yesterday was the most gorgeous day in New York City. I was blown away by the colors in Central Park and my favorite thing of all was...
the incredibly gorgeous red leaves! It has me jonesing for some red in my life this fall and even into winter. An art teacher once told me that if something is ever missing in your work, add a dash of red and it will make everything come together. I've always loved that philosophy so today I am enamored with beautiful accents of red in my life.
This outfit is no exception...How chic for fall, no?
The most perfect addition of red to my winter would be a pair of HUNTER Wellies.
I also love adding red to my food with fresh strawberries and cinnamon...my most favorite addition to any breakfast! 
Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

moments of domestic bliss with Red

I don't know why I am feeling this way but ever since I saw prince william in that red military jacket I have been smitten with the color red. I have always adored red so its nothing new to me, but lately I have been spotted bits of red here and there and it always adds such a delicious little touch. This gorgeous red window treatment just has me desperately wanting more red-ness in my life. Stunningly perfect!
Now for just the most fun touches of the ultra vibrant and sexy color.

The Decorista tip of the day...get an arch lamp asap

 The weather here in the city is rather odd lately, gorgeous one day, rainy and gross the next. I had a lot of time inside the apartment and was thinking about an easy way to glam up the living room. I had a marvelous idea, To get a little extra something in your space, get an arch lamp. They are gorgeous, modern, sexy and oh so glamorous! I am currently obsessed with the look of these bad boys. 

Anyone who has an arch lamp in their home has mad style. Everytime. They are just the thing to take your decor to the next level. How gorgeous does this room look with an arch lamp? Loving the tiger pillows and red leather club chairs. MEow!

The Decorista tip of the day...moments of red

Every so often I run into the friend who is in desperate need of updating their decor. Yet, we run into the  same old problem...white walls. One sure fire way to freshen up white walls is to throw in a bit of red to the mix. Instantly brightens things up. I am loving this eclectic and bohemian mix.

Style-icious Sunday {romantically red and in love}

With Valentine's Day approaching tomorrow love is definitely in the air and red is everywhere in the city. Pops of red are all in the beautifully decorated store windows, it's so delightful to see. Today I am inspired by the look of love, red and all things romantic. 

How delicious are all red walls in a library? 

I am completely coveting these shoes...ooh la la...the perfect V-day accessory.

There is nothing that says LOVE like Oscar de la Renta red!

Sometimes, something as a simple pop of red in a chandelier can be so dramatic and fun.
Hope you have all enjoyed your V-day weekend.
