Currently lusting over... The Halina Chandelier

Right now I'm re-discovering Hollywood Regency style, which is all about the Hollywood glamour that was so popular from the 1930's thru 1960's.  I'm currently preparing a house for sale with some really fun clients, and this chandelier will be going in their foyer.  Notice the lovely crystal droplets and the handsome shades with silver banding.  This gives a lot of BLING but is still clean-lined.  Love it!

And guess what... it's from Home Depot, of all places!

Living Room : Spring-Summer

Bright and sunny! I came across this living room design on this site and fell in love with it. The elements are absolutely refreshing and mix of colors is so fun. With summer and spring as the theme, this living room has beautiful light colors and flowery prints. One can feel life and all the energy and freshness of spring in its decor and detailing.

The pan view of the living room. The color scheme is made up of yellow, ocher, cream and flowery pattern to add to the zing.

Check out the detailing, the ruffles in yellow and rust and cream. Ideal way to do up any space with minimal clutter.

The color yellow is know for its properties of warmth and happiness. With ocher and ivory/white it provides the right pop of color to brighten up the area.

Too much of a single color can be overpowering. The rust red/cream is the perfect foil to bring out the lightness of the beautiful patterned throw and yellow used in the room.

Detailing and choosing the right pieces for the room is important. Here less is more, and the layout is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Use natural light and flowers to the best advantage. Spring/summer is light and beautiful. Take a break from the heavy winter drapes and colors and let life shine. Bring peace and happiness into your homes.
