What 2009 interiors will look like...

If IdealHome is right, looks like we have pretty palettes and feminine touches to look forward to in 2009. This is alright by me..as I loved almost everything they predicted! How about you?


I'm not a big fan of most wall stickers, but I adore the ruffly rose pillow, and Ikea's tiny little side table!

The light blue accent color they utilize here is one of my favorite colors, and white of course!

IdealHome also predicts that metallic will stick around, but perhaps in slightly subdued patinas like mother of pearl.


I love this palette! Duck-egg blue and rose! It's so relaxing and pretty. I also love the neutral, eco-friendly look of the couch- though my books are never all the same colors...


Restaurant style dining is in they say. I think anything to encourage everyone to eat at the table and not in front of the tv is a good thing!

Floral prints - I love what textile designers have been doing to modernize the floral print, like this sketchy, half-colored upholstery.


A striking bedroom in always chic black and white. I love the french gray nightstands and the old luggage used as storage. The headboard is just foam core, mdf, and fabric!

Happy Holiday pics and thank you all!

I really hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and gets to spend it with loved ones. I'm honored to be a part of such an amazing and supportive community. As some of you know, this has been a very hard couple of months for me with my dog passing, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and sentiments. They are immensely helpful during this most devastating time.

dazzling charming living rooms

How great would it be to walk into your home and decompress in such a pretty living room? I'm sure with a little bit of saving and planning it could be accomplished, but I think the most important part this day and age is setting oneself a time frame - at least for me time is often the biggest obstacle.

A. I love how cozy this living room is while still feeling airy. The white coffee table keeps all the leather from being too stuffy and dark.

B. I love how the wallpaper has been treated more like art in this room, hanging on just one wall. It's so energizing!

Do you have a favorite room/s? It's soooo hard to choose, but I'd say mine would have to be A,B,J,L, and N.
