painted beauties

I’ve always had a thing for furniture sketches. You’d find me trying to perfect a Louis XVI chair on any paper and pen I get my hands on. It gets even more exciting for me when I’m thinking of a certain space somewhere and try to visualize what it would look like with different settings.
So you can imagine how excited I was to find Shann’s gallery. Pretty vignettes and painted Parisian/Provencal inspired settings.
I LOVE the detailed fabric on the painted chairs.

a pile of books

my obsession with interior design books is growing, and growing.

I know its in my genes because my father has an internal magnet to bookstores and libraries, so lets just hope my fascination is controllable.

I had a major drool fest today at Kinokuniya bookstore at the dubai mall. Major decor eye candy.

I ended up with Nancy Corzine's Glamour at home, great tips on decor glamour.

I left this one on the shelf but something tells me i'm passing again tommorow.

bliss is

un. running around with friends in powder colored gowns with bows and frills in a green field

We now know the secret of her stardom and fame, it all starts at the most inspiring powder room. From the crisp white carpet to the black and white gold framed photos and the most divine blue chaise ever i heart this room to bits.

To more inspiring powder rooms.
