Go Bold at Home

October 12, 2011 by Lizzie Filed Under: Bedroom, Color Obsession, Dining Room, Living Room 1 Comment

I love when people take risks in their own home, and while taking a risk could backfire severely, it can also have a huge payoff. Bold patterns can really make a statement and take an otherwise bland room to the next level. The patterns can be playful, dramatic, contemporary or traditional, and in the right setting, it works beautifully! Here are some great examples of some patterned walls that I have fallen in love with.

Simple Elegance

August 23, 2011 by Lizzie Filed Under: Bedroom, Dining Room, Living Room, Office Leave a Comment

Black and white is one of my favorite color combinations. It’s striking and elegant, and it never seems to get old. Every era seems to embrace the tried and true color palette in its own unique way, but the basics of the look stay classically beautiful. Also, any color you bring into a black and white space will immediately pop, and the more vibrant the color the better. There’s no one way to pull this look off, but here are some of my favorites from around the web.

Great Bedding Options

January 10, 2011 by Lizzie Filed Under: Bedroom Leave a Comment

Lonny Magazine had a great article about different options for great bedding. It’s a great list with a lot of variety, but a few of my personal favorites were left off the list so I’ve added those on here! My favorites of their top picks were Diane von Furstenburg, Kate Spade, and Serena & Lily (LOVE their stuff).  A few of my own personal favorites include Dwell Studio, Sky bedding available at Bloomingdales, French Laundry for a more rustic elegance, and Calvin Klein’s “Atlas” bedding. There are so many options out there these days that it makes it hard to choose. I could probably blog about this topic for a week and still not get all the great lines available. Also, Dwell Studio has a line at Target that’s a little more afforable and just as cute.

Hope this helps anyone struggling to find that perfect bedding!

DIY Headboard

December 14, 2010 by Lizzie Filed Under: Bedroom Leave a Comment

Living in earthquake prone Los Angeles makes decorating above the bed a little risky. I’m always looking for new ideas of how to fill that space without using items that could fall down if shaken. I found this great idea from Home Depot’s DIY center, and I thought I would share it with you. The focal point uses shadow boxes painted in a variety of colors to add some great visual interest to your wall. The boxes are hung by wooden mounting brackets to keep them in place and take away the chance of them falling. Look how great it looks in the end! For a more detailed description of how to put it together, check out their site.

The Guest Room

September 27, 2010 by Lizzie Filed Under: Bedroom Leave a Comment

The guest room is the perfect opportunity to use bold colors and patterns.  While the master bedroom is your sanctuary, the guest room is a place for short visits. It’s a room you don’t have to worry about getting tired of the choices you make and safe and neutral should be left out of the vocabulary of this room’s theme. You can be a little more adventurous in your choices and make this room something special. Guests always appreciate fun decor when they are getting away from their own homes. The element of  surprise goes a long way in this space as visitors will continue to appreciate it over time.  Finally, this room allows you to avoid the worry of maintaining on a daily basis. You can use those extra throw pillows and blankets, extra layers of drapery and minimal storage pieces. Overall, this is your chance to have a little fun with your home.

My success as an eDecorator has come from years of experience. After receiving a degree in Interior Design from FIDM in Los Angeles, I have been continuously working within the residential interior design industry for the past 10 years. I have seen first hand what works, what doesn’t, and why. I have learned how to make the most of a budget, and most importantly, how to get that high end look without spending a fortune. Read More…
