10 things that rocked my world. 3.9.15

1. The past few weeks I have been working on the revamp of my girl Cara's office revamp. The Champagne Diet HQ is in total makeover and the space is turning out so beautifully. Especially because there is so much beautiful gold in the mix. How about her bar cart? The muse of the room is her fabulous + very chic grandmother, so think Hollywood Glamour in the 50's. 

2. Probably my favorite part of the space is the molding detail that comes pretty standard in most NYC spaces, which I just love! The room used to be pink, but we decided to splash it with a bright white and paint just the middle molding in gold. Turned out so perfectly, don't you agree?

3. Totally inspired by my Upper East Side living room with my high gloss white walls + gorgeous gold sconces from Zgallerie. I'm still so obsessed with them. 

4. SUPER exciting news this week. I was featured in the Dallas Morning News as a design expert for their ARTS + LIFE section. My design was featured along with my most favorite fabric, as well as the other top designers in this city. It's beyond an honor, especially because I just started working in Dallas only a few months ago. 

5. Here is a close up of the article. So exciting. 

5. There is something about white this week, I just can't get enough of it. I'm totally into this space, especially the pop of black leather and round coffee table. 

6. How chic is this bedside look? Total glamour. It's very Ralph Lauren. I always think its a good idea to fill your bedside with beautiful things that you love. It makes going to bed and waking up so much more enjoyable. 

7. Still obsessed with my Valspar paint vintage chair makeover. 

8. This Sunday was International Women's Day. How awesome is it to be a woman right now? We are starting businesses and taking over things. I just really appreciate what is happening for all of us. 

9. Crushing on this coffee table at west elm and the bar cart and pretty much everything is on MAJOR SALE right now. Even the brass curtain rods!!! Shop away! 

10. Ugh. These words are just so good. Need some more advice? Connect with me for mentoring help here. 

Celebrating paint with ACE Hardware & Valspar Apricot Froth

I'm a sucker for vintage furniture. Nothing gets me more excited than making something old, new and beautiful again. So, when Valspar asked me to come on board for Ace Hardware’s 31 days of color campaign, I happily jumped at the opportunity. For the entire month of March, Valspar is collaborating with Ace Hardware, to unveil a color each day to inspire us all to bring color into our lives. Today, the color is Valspar’s Apricot Froth  and my assignment was to find something to give some color to.

I got this chair a while back for like $5 at an antique shop. I am absolutely in love with the lines and I have such a beautiful vision for it in black and white. However, with the recent snowfall around here, I haven't had time to shop for fabric or get this vintage chair to the upholstery shop. In the meantime, it’s such an eye sore and I don't have any room in storage to keep it out of sight. So, this is where paint sure does come to my rescue. The original fabric on it is a dark grey color with small apricot flowers in needlepoint. It's actually really cool. So, in under 10 minutes this chair got an entirely new look with a few coats of pretty Apricot Froth paint. I chose Valspar Optimus because it’s durable and self-priming so all it needed was one coat. AND I love the way its adds color to my living room just in time for Spring.

We've got a bohemian meets French glamour thing happening in our living room and I am in love with it. Painting the bones of a vintage chair was just what the room needed. Now, how can you add color to your home for spring? Be sure to check in at 12PM EST everyday for the new color and to enter Ace's 31 Days of Color giveaways throughout the month of March including the chance to win a $10,000 paint makeover and daily $50 Ace gift cards, plus  daily free paint samples for the first 1,000 entrants!
