Got up this morning at a reasonable hour and made the huge mistake of sitting on my sofa for "just a minute."<br /><br /> HUGE mistake.<br /><br />Out like a light... for <b><u>5 HOURS</u></b><br /><br /> Unfortunately I'm having more and more of these "crash" days.<br /><br /> It's not like my to-do list is that unreasonable right?<br /><br /> • Plan a wedding for 130 people under $10,000.00 (That means a lot of DIY and searching, searching, searching.) <br /><br />• Buy a home this winter (we're still awaiting our preapproval letter) for under $300,000 in the DC metro area so future hubby can get to work in the city for under an hour, has good public schools for future baby, is safe, has some sort of yard)<br /><br /> • Complete training to make <a href="http://decorology.blogspot.com/search?q=remi">Remi</a> a therapy dog with <a href="http://www.deltasociety.org/page.aspx?pid=183">Pet Partners</a> - then volunteer with him as a therapy dog handler within the next six months.<br /><br /> • Build a barn on my <a href="http://chestnutcreekfarm.com/">parent's farm</a> for future horse. Within the next year, fingers crossed.<br /><br /> • Launch redesign of Decorology (that's right - it's going to look WAY better soon) and hopefully grow Decorology. Within six months.<br /><br />• Launch redesign of <a href="http://ashleywhitedesign.com/">ashleywhitedesign.com</a> (it's always one's own projects that come last) and continue to grow my web design business. Within six months.<br /><br />These are just my priority items.<br /><br /> Okay, so maybe I take on more than I can chew, but who doesn't really? Everyone is insanely busy, and I don't have children yet, so I don't really feel like I have the right to complain yet... sigh. Luckily, everything on my to do list are things I am excited about and looking forward too, I just need waaayyy more hours in each day...<br /><br /> Serenity now.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I haven't held a giveaway in a while, so why not today? This giveaway is for something I particularly like, and is near and dear to my heart. It's for art (I have my degree in illustration),...and literature (I know how to read) ...and the beauty of typography (I'm a web designer).

Design Camp was created by celebrity interior designers <a href="http://www.loridennis.com/">Lori Dennis</a> and <a href="http://www.kelliellis.com/">Kelli Ellis</a>. Aside from two days of on-trend interior design education, the people - speakers and guests - were all awesome!!! Lori and Kelli were so sweet and made the conference feel more like a party where people discuss great ideas to expand and grow your design business.<br /><br />I felt the most useful and inspiring speakers were those that covered information of social media and using it to get your designs and creativity out there! Leslie Carothers, CEO of <a href="http://www.tkpartnership.com/">The Kaleidoscope Partnership</a>, shared with everyone the amazing "<a href="http://olioboard.com/">Olioboard</a>," a site that allows you to create 2 and 3D rooms that you can share with others, shop from, and save. Most design campers agreed this was one of their favorite presentations.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKaQzZNN5bHeVebPaEBkwq79QuYHPjocsUD-OrNuM9O5iFWxSMRIUWYYAZd97WByPm9B6ysi0Oz8wYMCOlZWxHp1zfPba-SeMeq8nIKZg2ukiqVsuJ2ifLb0MW_CoenIfZnlXtgcL43GT/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-11-12+at+2.57.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKaQzZNN5bHeVebPaEBkwq79QuYHPjocsUD-OrNuM9O5iFWxSMRIUWYYAZd97WByPm9B6ysi0Oz8wYMCOlZWxHp1zfPba-SeMeq8nIKZg2ukiqVsuJ2ifLb0MW_CoenIfZnlXtgcL43GT/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-11-12+at+2.57.27+PM.png" width="450" /></a></div><br /><br />A sample Olioboard<br /><br /><a href="http://www.allthebestblog.co.uk/">All The Best</a>'s Ronda Rice Carman spoke about the necessity of defining your brand, which includes having a website that reflects your philosophy and services. ( I don't usually like to push my other business, <a href="http://ashleywhitedesign.com/web.html">web design</a>, but I can definitely hook you guys up with a gorgeous website!) She also recommends staying focused on what you want to accomplish - avoid having too many branches of your blog/business.

Like, super uncharacteristically tired. Maybe because wedding planning is a full time job in itself and I drove a combined 4 hours yesterday to look at two different wedding venues, or because ever since Sandy blew through the east coast hasn't been seeing much sun. <br /><br />Either way, I slept through my alarm, getting up an hour and a half late, and somehow slept-walked over to my dresser and hit snooze on my alarm <b><u><i>NINE</i></u></b> times and don't remember any of it. Luckily I work for myself and from home, but I still feel like a bum when I don't get up at a reasonable hour. <br /><br />Anyway, plentiful sleep aside, all I want do to is crawl under my down comforter and dream the afternoon away. I guess this bedroom eye candy will have to do, since deadlines never care how tired you are.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVqwG85WqEXwelDVly7avjHFoC3LMPwxzGU9iI4eJqh1arxN3Nv370d_9rkx2SeIy8nsVq74UrWj-LkbNpsyD3jDk6S4kR93bn5QZNrqUVq3jk7HDEnNeMs3AWOqCJxyIA41szqUU3fSCK/s1600/pin:154318724702293968.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVqwG85WqEXwelDVly7avjHFoC3LMPwxzGU9iI4eJqh1arxN3Nv370d_9rkx2SeIy8nsVq74UrWj-LkbNpsyD3jDk6S4kR93bn5QZNrqUVq3jk7HDEnNeMs3AWOqCJxyIA41szqUU3fSCK/s1600/pin:154318724702293968.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div>Love the dark wall, the headboard, the quilt, the floors...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwGYhwpDk1AxYFINvsVCjqn9QJm8MHiBe_GPlTW4nyPEeDCQFF68SWlZSfhIrOJKnTG0dM33WjuxIx_FFtowNG_0N90t92859C3pCqzPRYYJCuvZ5fogOc1lWkS4hrpRadVo3TBfNSa8Fx/s1600/glam-fem-bedroom.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwGYhwpDk1AxYFINvsVCjqn9QJm8MHiBe_GPlTW4nyPEeDCQFF68SWlZSfhIrOJKnTG0dM33WjuxIx_FFtowNG_0N90t92859C3pCqzPRYYJCuvZ5fogOc1lWkS4hrpRadVo3TBfNSa8Fx/s1600/glam-fem-bedroom.png" width="450" /></a></div>Okay, so this is an add for linens, but how gorgeous is that bed?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJE287xQ-bUYc2Wrxs2LGhxBF5rrTLz8XX3lWhYeG11EXtXqKXJ2AoVrGBVefe4HXXOnJ6gy7I3rXZUTEytxqnbQNUYZV6a9ar3qyJ_wu4r0gp2Tvqf-L_pLMeJmbEnFbUol9nBAvtyKzB/s1600/91mag-glam.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJE287xQ-bUYc2Wrxs2LGhxBF5rrTLz8XX3lWhYeG11EXtXqKXJ2AoVrGBVefe4HXXOnJ6gy7I3rXZUTEytxqnbQNUYZV6a9ar3qyJ_wu4r0gp2Tvqf-L_pLMeJmbEnFbUol9nBAvtyKzB/s1600/91mag-glam.png" width="450" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAp2vnz6QGcqYI30uNXvnauvN1-VPcN4lVYPN-COzTJoQjOObeyPpUCc_PRH0Z62CTgcn_BDhrYwECyaEUpPSBw-EfJGE-pC6R6K1xM3UzTXTO9uEQQYg2V1BoKsKRK1-x4y1xwgd-7b3/s1600/adorehome-white-bedroom.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAp2vnz6QGcqYI30uNXvnauvN1-VPcN4lVYPN-COzTJoQjOObeyPpUCc_PRH0Z62CTgcn_BDhrYwECyaEUpPSBw-EfJGE-pC6R6K1xM3UzTXTO9uEQQYg2V1BoKsKRK1-x4y1xwgd-7b3/s1600/adorehome-white-bedroom.png" width="450" /></a></div>pastels always look nice in the bedroom<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBTlM-LG-p_1a1o4XYeiDar-2EfRgxiGC7_I3DDr8xLqi9PcSM0k6fZjTH0izvdPkJAXpZvQH_lkKIm2gxb7eKT2Q7Sg82Z4UDB4vn2Qq0k2kxbJzmBi2ua_BkZiV0jLlxMi8znWpGSgw/s1600/adorehome-bedroom.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBTlM-LG-p_1a1o4XYeiDar-2EfRgxiGC7_I3DDr8xLqi9PcSM0k6fZjTH0izvdPkJAXpZvQH_lkKIm2gxb7eKT2Q7Sg82Z4UDB4vn2Qq0k2kxbJzmBi2ua_BkZiV0jLlxMi8znWpGSgw/s1600/adorehome-bedroom.png" width="450" /></a></div>How cute is this?

It has a sort of vintage, masculine vibe, and I also feel like the space has an academic feel to it. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIT8adLt_XUpJaL424m6xPF1doPp-6yYYTq2ACj920MhYfCOq8rOCm_4PT5ChUgaUWfI8Lin_ZZ13CbCz80xmcx26mEXG9yXtiUsNu0RRxmPzRuy-OoqsMCVtq940l07pczTZZ1VQlqmXF/s1600/vintage-eastvillage-livingroom.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIT8adLt_XUpJaL424m6xPF1doPp-6yYYTq2ACj920MhYfCOq8rOCm_4PT5ChUgaUWfI8Lin_ZZ13CbCz80xmcx26mEXG9yXtiUsNu0RRxmPzRuy-OoqsMCVtq940l07pczTZZ1VQlqmXF/s1600/vintage-eastvillage-livingroom.png" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not only did they find <a href="http://theperfectrug.com/">the perfect rug</a>, they found the perfect *rugs!

Traveling alone is an enjoyable, albeit different experience than traveling with a friend. Everything is on your scheduled and your preferences. I think it's becoming more popular to take <a href="http://varvacations.com/en/travel/single.html">single vacations,</a> as more and more places are advertising themselves to the lone traveler.<br /><br />One of the highlights for me was the stunning, not-to-be-missed Matthias Church. Unfortunately because of the bright spotlights from the ceiling, and our not-so-great camera, it was hard to capture the beautiful blue of the ceiling.<br /><br />If you really like these you MUST go to <a href="http://www.360cities.net/image/matthias-church-budapest-interior-view#78.95,-28.40,110.0">360 Cities</a> where you can click and drag for a 360 degree, high res. view of the church<br

Below are my favorites:<br /><br /><b>Découpage Pumpkins </b><br /><b><br /></b>This gourd gets its graphic appeal from <a href="http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/pictorial-webster-s.html" target="_blank">Pictorial Webster's</a> ($35; Chronicle)—a volume filled with cool black-and-white illustrations. Choose your favorite drawings from the book (we used approximately 120 for a medium-size Funkin, or faux pumpkin), then photocopy them onto off-white cover stock paper. Next, carefully tear out each photo-copied image, leaving about half an inch of white space around it. (The rough edges will give your finished product added interest.) Using our <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/decoupage-a-pumpkin" target="_blank">découpage technique</a>, cover an entire Funkin with the images, overlapping their edges as you work. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSKwfaJeMUB3j9GxvGbx70MFEqt9paRoLku-E30FU23Yb9YpF2IfhAfzKrkIhOM3AAft0BvEFS4GFDQjdT3FDbxjDixT9LTeaHuQpn13ySgxIkvvyLRGepIj5LVStt_gYlXlB5CmLhdtss/s1600/halloween-crafts-diy-pumpkin-ideas-1011-3EAylo-lgn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSKwfaJeMUB3j9GxvGbx70MFEqt9paRoLku-E30FU23Yb9YpF2IfhAfzKrkIhOM3AAft0BvEFS4GFDQjdT3FDbxjDixT9LTeaHuQpn13ySgxIkvvyLRGepIj5LVStt_gYlXlB5CmLhdtss/s1600/halloween-crafts-diy-pumpkin-ideas-1011-3EAylo-lgn.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><b>Patterned Pumpkins</b><br /><b><br /></b>You can create all of these nifty designs using acrylic paint and painter's tape. For a two-tone, dipped look, bisect a pumpkin with a strip of tape (angle the tape for a diagonal effect). Use a foam brush to cover one section of your pumpkin with two coats of acrylic paint, allowing 30 minutes of drying time per coat. Remove the tape and discard. Stop there, or repeat the steps to add another color to your pumpkin. To form chevron stripes—whether two or tons—link short strips of tape to make the zigzag patterns, using our photo as a guide. Use a foam brush to cover your pumpkin with two coats of acrylic paint, allowing 30 minutes of drying time per coat. Remove the tape and discard. Clean up the edges with a cotton swab if necessary. If you'd like the second color to be different than natural pumpkin orange, fill in using a small paintbrush and contrasting acrylic paint, as we did for the black and white pumpkin <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrXjCu0WPxjxawU0WAdvL35yucC7tiglxXlyn_npnGWTT9-UxXlFXkFVdZ5619I6dagNTkhnBpCOLLZFoaKKeCTVD5yZxsnI9OrpQMCCdi5uQ56EXcDtSMImHHZyh865ws7rJVSQvygC4/s1600/hallowee-pumpkins-patterns-1012-xln.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrXjCu0WPxjxawU0WAdvL35yucC7tiglxXlyn_npnGWTT9-UxXlFXkFVdZ5619I6dagNTkhnBpCOLLZFoaKKeCTVD5yZxsnI9OrpQMCCdi5uQ56EXcDtSMImHHZyh865ws7rJVSQvygC4/s1600/hallowee-pumpkins-patterns-1012-xln.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><b>Black and White Pumpkins</b><br /><b><br /></b>Savannah stylist Liz Demos skipped the carving knife and went straight for a paintbrush to fashion these graphic pumpkins. "With a stark black-and-white palette," Demos says of her trio of bold designs, "you can make any pattern, even creepy insects, look downright chic." HOW-TO For each version, start by brushing the entire pumpkin with a coat of white flat acrylic craft paint ($1.39 for two oz.; <a href="http://createforless.com/">createforless.com</a>); let dry for 20 minutes.<br /><br /> SPIDERWEB 1. Using a black fine-tip paint pen ($2.49; <a href="http://createforless.com/">createforless.com</a>), draw a circle around the top of the pumpkin, about two inches from the stem. Keep drawing a continuous line, spiraling around the perimeter of the pumpkin, as shown, until you reach the base. 2. Draw vertical lines in the pumpkin's crevices, starting from the circle near the stem and going to the bottom. 3. Let the paint dry for 30 minutes, then place one or two plastic spiders ($9 for a pair; <a href="http://areohome.com/">areohome.com</a>) on the "web." <br /><br />BEETLE 1. Print the template from countryliving.com/oct-templates. Use a copier to resize the image so it fits your pumpkin. 2. Cut out the stencil as directed on the template and center it on the pumpkin; affix with stencil adhesive ($6.99; <a href="http://stencilease.com/">stencilease.com</a>). 3. Paint the beetle within the stencil using three coats of black flat acrylic craft paint ($1.39 for two oz.; <a href="http://createforless.com/">createforless.com</a>). Let the paint dry for 30 minutes and remove the stencil.<br /><br /> WOOD GRAIN 1. Mix a small amount of clear glaze ($1.84 for two oz.; <a href="http://createforless.com/">createforless.com</a>) with black flat acrylic craft paint. 2. Demos applied this knotty-wood design freehand, but swears even a novice can pull it off. Using a fine-tip brush and this photo as a guide, begin painting several irregular circles around the pumpkin, as shown, spacing them at varying heights. 3. To complete the pattern, fill the rest of the pumpkin's surface with curving lines. Let the paint dry for 30 minutes. <b><br /></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOqi40Z5gqQCIenXq4sIPlyQwy6zdb7jonRRWirNz_AUsay9LzB428eVxhJ7t61jc92fAqLhnxK3_5vXVfalTVvHT406qTiYrEoiCzUhYo6wfJedVsnxVLqfoq-neQO8e7y1vafY65cDv/s1600/CLX-black-and-white-pumpkin-v2-xln.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOqi40Z5gqQCIenXq4sIPlyQwy6zdb7jonRRWirNz_AUsay9LzB428eVxhJ7t61jc92fAqLhnxK3_5vXVfalTVvHT406qTiYrEoiCzUhYo6wfJedVsnxVLqfoq-neQO8e7y1vafY65cDv/s1600/CLX-black-and-white-pumpkin-v2-xln.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><b>Moth Decal Pumpkins</b><br /><b><br /></b>The secret to these moth-adorned marvels? Weather-resistant vinyl decals ($1.50 for a three-inch moth, $3 for a six-inch moth; <a href="http://wgwalldecals.com/">wgwalldecals.com</a>). Show them to their best advantage against white pumpkins: Use a foam brush to cover each pumpkin with two coats of acrylic paint, allowing 30 minutes of drying time per coat, before applying decals. <b><br /></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF5ge8w-4Vom4-gIrZt_U3RkS-A3XFJfR80l0W0bSQKX-dyjnPdtfndjhmiTPUyHfVZoAdlXbc08H-M-m-vH2cjp4mli5vWbq2NO298j2xR9qYm1iO4HllkC1jNK7rZYKlpNB_LJPIrfxI/s1600/halloween-pumpkins-moth-decals-1012-xln.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF5ge8w-4Vom4-gIrZt_U3RkS-A3XFJfR80l0W0bSQKX-dyjnPdtfndjhmiTPUyHfVZoAdlXbc08H-M-m-vH2cjp4mli5vWbq2NO298j2xR9qYm1iO4HllkC1jNK7rZYKlpNB_LJPIrfxI/s1600/halloween-pumpkins-moth-decals-1012-xln.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><b>Veiled Beauty</b><br /><br />Part cobweb, part creeping vine, the effect of black lace on painted pumpkins is thoroughly macabre. Begin by painting pumpkins (or faux Funkins, from $18; <a href="http://funkins.com/">funkins.com</a>); we opted for <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/">Farrow and Ball's Green Blue</a>. Once they're dry, use our photo (left) as a guide to cut out pieces of lace; brush matte Mod Podge onto the back sides, and adhere to your pumpkins. Finish by sealing each with a topcoat of Mod Podge. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwPWYot9sf60Flm6CvMzy_Rlk5dNFhGSrcYCZDAkNY8wDxqZTKgB2b18Z4sxWsAG7v98d_OXJcBnA3_WYNobkfI1a82FQwMx0E2GJGXUb1c9pQ6MFDvh45PsHR-BKf9FDyGGxhvKuncBTk/s1600/arsenic-and-old-lace-pumpkins-1012-xln.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwPWYot9sf60Flm6CvMzy_Rlk5dNFhGSrcYCZDAkNY8wDxqZTKgB2b18Z4sxWsAG7v98d_OXJcBnA3_WYNobkfI1a82FQwMx0E2GJGXUb1c9pQ6MFDvh45PsHR-BKf9FDyGGxhvKuncBTk/s1600/arsenic-and-old-lace-pumpkins-1012-xln.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><b>Which ideas is your favorite?</b><br /><span class="credits"><br /></span><span class="credits"><br /></span> <span class="credits">All images and instructions from <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/projects/pumpkin-decorating-1009#slide-1" target="_blank">Country Living</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029156044108165223.post-65648503712740036092012-10-16T11:21:00.000-07:002012-11-22T04:41:47.525-08:00Antique rugs from around the globe (lots of eye candy!)Few items can make an impact on a room like a rug. They do, after all, sometimes take up the most physical space, and can take up the most visual space as well. If you're lucky enough to start designing a room from scratch, a lot of designers will recommend you chose a rug first, and then pull colors from your chosen rug to use in furniture, accessories, etc.<br /><br /> I have never been lucky enough to get to start a room from scratch, but I do know how hard it is to make a bold rug work with furniture and decor that you already have. See my struggle and solution <a href="http://decorology.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-curtains-are-finally-finished-some.html">here</a>. I love my oriental rug (from Iran) so I made it work, but I would have loved to be able to chose furniture after purchasing the rug as opposed to making my already existing furniture work with my beloved rug. <br /><br />While my rug is not an antique, and I'm not lucky enough to own any <a alt="antique oriental rugs" href="http://nazmiyalantiquerugs.com/" target="_blank" title="antique rugs">antique oriental rugs</a> (yet), I do like to peruse rug galleries with treasures from all around the globe.<br /><br />(All of these amazing rugs are from the <a href="http://nazmiyalantiquerugs.com/">Nazmiyal Collection</a> in NYC.)<br /><br /> Here are my favorites from countries around the globe: <br /><br />From Morocco: <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Time is running out to sign up for Design Camp! (And a great Austin bungalow)I am counting the days until Oct. 24th, when I will be attending the kickoff to Design Camp in the very cool Austin, TX.<br /><br /> <b>What is Design Camp</b> you may ask?<br /><br /> Design Camp is a two-day seminar hosted by Celebrity Interior Designers Lori Dennis and Kelli Ellis, with special guests segments led by local and national industry experts in niche fields. The course is tailored for design professionals and design aficionados. Each day runs from 9AM-6PM and is broken down into 8 segments per day.<br /><br />Drinks, Snacks, Lunch, and Cocktail parties included. By the end of Camp, attendees will have the confidence and ability to run successful modern-day design careers, execute magazine ready interior projects, take careers to an entirely new level, network and collaborate with local suppliers and colleagues.<br /><br /> <a href="http://designcamp.com/">Design Camp</a> is your destination for practical, applicable, real-life design insight you don’t get from traditional institutions. In two fun-filled days you will discover more at Design Camp, while saving time and money.<br /><br /> I AM SO EXCITED!<br /><br />Check out the agenda...<br /><br /><h3 style="background-color: white;

If I'm lucky enough to have a room with a whirlpool tub, or a walk in shower, it is something I always remember. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvpcMNXDsVDCYQ9t67hGNeym7ebPlHPmecm-faAZvEPvC7CIFx6YdwaH3Z85UvO8AAGMO4drR037RE36G3CR-PxHWMhYCszWUd13huGHKoNUiPQOQu-WDy16P0OMT8bLfatVW8EBXnLv_a/s1600/MH060833XC12C_0-lgn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvpcMNXDsVDCYQ9t67hGNeym7ebPlHPmecm-faAZvEPvC7CIFx6YdwaH3Z85UvO8AAGMO4drR037RE36G3CR-PxHWMhYCszWUd13huGHKoNUiPQOQu-WDy16P0OMT8bLfatVW8EBXnLv_a/s1600/MH060833XC12C_0-lgn.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div><br />How luxe is that shower!?!<br /><br />So how does a hotel take a bathroom to the next level?<br /><br />For rooms that house two guests, the minimum in luxury bathrooms should be twin basins and mirrors. Bathrooms boasting marble surfaces, spacious baths and showers with steam or sauna options and mirror cabinets with inbuilt televisions are elements that are sure to impress guests. Whirlpool baths are another luxurious pleasure that come in all shapes and sizes to suit varying room sizes and the corresponding number of occupants. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKY8QVuaBOhU0CYRUMU3OMU5pVGVSyOYoekGFwtbfQjAWeXntQTYSxPO427UhCMQww5b2_DBIbmYobNuQQ3JF65eGt3murBnroTYXOfurZPQSpr-LIYglIlBXCmSfy9gGi06YnSmYgq2m1/s1600/16Mirrorshot-samgray_0-lgn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKY8QVuaBOhU0CYRUMU3OMU5pVGVSyOYoekGFwtbfQjAWeXntQTYSxPO427UhCMQww5b2_DBIbmYobNuQQ3JF65eGt3murBnroTYXOfurZPQSpr-LIYglIlBXCmSfy9gGi06YnSmYgq2m1/s1600/16Mirrorshot-samgray_0-lgn.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Faucets are often underestimated in terms of their impact on user experience and therefore hotels can deliver plenty in regards to this element in the bathroom - just as long as it is still useable. I hate it when a sink is too shallow to wash my face. In some instances, <a href="http://www.aqva.co.uk/Taps">faucets tie together the entire design</a> and level of opulence of the room. Designer taps with sensor operation, single lever operation or floor standing options all offer a luxury experience for guests.<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWJE0sTWLrhDuDHDNnvL_6Aj0mr3rxN75o4oULwMHTIb0FspfD5XwWyw3NAdch0OzDYYUjVTv-0SbeMfY6LYjSO2MU9byApsk5KBRmd2UDY9oK7TAm6CdaFAHiv19ZX_JqPXT3p9VEDXcw/s1600/3_1286291548_ED_0606_Kenya_11.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWJE0sTWLrhDuDHDNnvL_6Aj0mr3rxN75o4oULwMHTIb0FspfD5XwWyw3NAdch0OzDYYUjVTv-0SbeMfY6LYjSO2MU9byApsk5KBRmd2UDY9oK7TAm6CdaFAHiv19ZX_JqPXT3p9VEDXcw/s1600/3_1286291548_ED_0606_Kenya_11.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div>I'd feel like a princess using this bath located in Kenya.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXi9WWeA-Rj7aoXrGN7b41X5eHFUc53GtlmHr7B2YwsDOxXLprvwnZ0k2NDbEspp1AA0iw0oyROzmbczapGS-m1BmtFyvRqKCFazLWiHUhA1rtyZYoS39JS9lM7CkjrhjCSCTQwxbRX_f/s1600/3_MH1008_Male_bath_V.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXi9WWeA-Rj7aoXrGN7b41X5eHFUc53GtlmHr7B2YwsDOxXLprvwnZ0k2NDbEspp1AA0iw0oyROzmbczapGS-m1BmtFyvRqKCFazLWiHUhA1rtyZYoS39JS9lM7CkjrhjCSCTQwxbRX_f/s1600/3_MH1008_Male_bath_V.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What do you think of that tree sculpture?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs8DMb_VAt6qT1efzRu-OqCMQbVjhVAyhVRlYK4wuCuvfNWiZDAto1i9_lAkByk9FuNCAQDS-k8DHnzyLXKxgLlpoAKYyAKnpchND2NsSdKVExAahxuR1H3EiaUbkPQ4MyXYkqYXnbInG/s1600/ht_apostles_100719_ssh.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs8DMb_VAt6qT1efzRu-OqCMQbVjhVAyhVRlYK4wuCuvfNWiZDAto1i9_lAkByk9FuNCAQDS-k8DHnzyLXKxgLlpoAKYyAKnpchND2NsSdKVExAahxuR1H3EiaUbkPQ4MyXYkqYXnbInG/s1600/ht_apostles_100719_ssh.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div> This Cape Town hotel bathroom couldn't have a better view.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-m3djwipyvpvu93qpG0G2fSivaK2bWVk-7_Q0byL2kR5MUjWOhAl16KXtgKbNuyXk7lWKNZ0AF-EUgklLYMEJwhUcS2toDPgS6vOgPQhKLA7I5ZWCBGPSBI8YXAso6yP1JP82VdtJC4zZ/s1600/ht_art_suite_bathroom_v_100914_ssv.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-m3djwipyvpvu93qpG0G2fSivaK2bWVk-7_Q0byL2kR5MUjWOhAl16KXtgKbNuyXk7lWKNZ0AF-EUgklLYMEJwhUcS2toDPgS6vOgPQhKLA7I5ZWCBGPSBI8YXAso6yP1JP82VdtJC4zZ/s1600/ht_art_suite_bathroom_v_100914_ssv.jpeg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Same with this hotel in Capri.<br /><br /><br />What makes a hotel stand out for me is to offer indulgent bathing experiences to the same degree that they offer indulgent eating experiences.
