Kelly Wearstler China by Pickard titled Mulholland

All that glitters should be gold! I have a long hisotry with obsessing over shiny objects, mirrors and other such feminine frosting. Nothing can make a space look more regal and rich than touches of gold. Gold symbolizes strength, health, riches and extravagance. As a precious metal gold represents excellence and praise but overdone it suggests deception, worthlessness and greed. The products I have presented here push the limits of gold without pursuing the negative effects of the metal. It is to be used in a glamorous and/or dramatic setting and can be an effective accent in a contemporary and stark space.

Austen Writing Table by Madeline Stuart

Gold touches speak of character, timelessness, detail and have an exotic quality. Paired with whites the color is feminine and soft and with black is masculine and dramatic. It can also make deep reds, blues and green seem just as rich.

Bathrooms have always captivated me in being small rooms with drama and presence. They are often the first thing people renovate in a home as a “small” renovation. Bathrooms are often the gems of a home next to the Kitchen and increase the resale value exponentially. If you can make a buyer feel like lighting some candles and hopping in for a bubble bath you have checked off a big item on their list.

To me a bathroom is just as much about texture and sparkle as a bedroom is. Playing with the texture of floor tiles and reflection of counter tops as well as ornate qualities in a one of a kind mirror can look astonishing next to snuggly towels and slippers. Treat your bathroom like a spa with scented candles, texture, the sound of running water and the heat of a nice warm towel. Spare no expense in the luxury of the bathroom and you will surely start your day off on the right foot.

Teal Interior Decor

Laura Bielecki — Sat, 15 May 2010 01:54:15 +0000

Every woman wants a beautiful home that captures their spirit and personality. In a teal and white scheme like this you can picture a well poised young woman who irons her sheets, bakes cupcakes and whistles while she vacuums. She has a bounce in her step and loves all the flowers of spring. I like to call this Interior Design for her!

In this graceful color scheme:

A beautiful Manhattan front door. Add your favorite color to your front door in high gloss so that your guests always get a very personal first impression.

Teal bedroom design. A room like this is successful because of how clean the details and lines are and yet their are still many details and intricate patterns keeping interest in the vignette. Mixing solid color with dense pattern and and accent of white texture is a great way to play with depth and tactile qualities. Bedrooms should be soft and soothing so blue and teal colors are the perfect choice to feel refreshed when you wake in the morning.

Interior Design Bold Stripes

Laura Bielecki — Tue, 11 May 2010 05:29:22 +0000

There are a million ways to fake the shape, size, form and flaws in a room. One of the best visual distractions is using stripes. As today was a pretty grey day in Edmonton I thought it would be lovely to bring in some color. Candy cane stripes are a bold statement that can add a lot of visual texture without necessarily adding cost or the need for many accessories. The stripe can weave you through a room or tell you where to look. It can make fat look thin and short look tall and can even throw off your depth perception. Stripes can be achieved with Paint, wall covering, fabric and a collage of other materials for any kind of DIY project.

Show your stripes with finishes and furnishings

Have fun with your furniture!

The Plaza Hotel NYC

Laura C. Bielecki — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:21:09 +0000

On my last trip to New York I had the joy of doing a tour through the newly renovated Park Plaza Hotel on 5th avenue and central park right in the heart of royal and historic New York City. This Iconic hotel has been turned into a combination of hotel suites and residences. The majority of the hotel suites face the newly constructed central tranquility garden and the show stopping residences have multi-million dollar views of glorious central park. The renovation cost was over 400 million dollars with custom carpets, Baccarat chandeliers by philipe stark. From the day it opening on October 1, 1907 it was reported to be on of the greatest hotels in the world costing 12 million dollars to construct in its time.

Each suites decor features Louis XV style handcrafted, carved and inlayed furnishings. The bathrooms have 24 carat gold tiles, sinks, faucets and doorknobs and beautiful marble counters and tiles.
