This or that: light vs dark

After a long week of DIYing and finishing up some very special projects, I am ready to be inspired by some new things. One, I can't get over the look of white with pops of gold. While we have seen it everywhere, these two space make it look so new and fresh. It's styled in completely unexpected ways which give me some new thoughts on things. A stark bathroom can't be so bad...and pale wood floors look chic, but splinter free...not too sure?

Just as much as I love bright, I love me some dark. These two rooms scream moody, which I can always go for. That round sofa literally makes me weak in the knees, I've been jonesing for one bad.

Spanish design...the new black

Of all my travels in life, for some reason, Spain will remain my favorite place to go. I love Paris, and it's so perfect, almost a little too perfect & my trip to Sydney, still has me weak in the knees. However, there is something about Spain that I just vibe with. Maybe its because I'm part Spanish and I understand the people and the culture but mostly I think the food & design is just some of my favorite. It's eccentric and bold and unafraid of breaking boundaries at all times. I just love it. So, on a recent pinterest afternoon, I found an incredible space on Eclecchic done by a decorator in Barcelona. Just look how the lighting is wild and free and pretty damn amazing. The art is so good and not expected which I appreciate so much. Just feast your eyes on this design, its incredible. I would go over each little detail that I love, but its too much for me to explain.

Just know, this is the sort of decorating that is what I call groundbreaking design.
