Spiritual Decorating Inspiration

While shopping at Round Top this season, Texas' biggest antique show...its magical , I asked around as to what the biggest seller has been so far. Everyone was telling me that spiritual decor was selling off the charts. Crosses, buddhas, crystals, wings, etc. I was pretty inspired. 

I came across a few booths filled with the most gorgeous crystals from Brazil, of course I had to take some home with me. I also found these amazing meditating hand statues in gold that I just was drawn to. 

It got me very inspired to add some spiritual decor to my client's spaces. A few of my clients love Buddha statues. . . 

I've always been a fan of Jane Aldridge's space. . .

I've always loved zen outdoor spaces. They add such peace to a home, no?

I kinda love this light up cross myself.

Decorating for pretty

Last week I spoke at New York Design Center's What's New, What's Next conference. It was such a honor to speak alongside some of our industry's most talented designers. We all pretty much agreed that the new trends are yet to be seen, with the developments in technology we will be seeing things that have never been done before. I get so excited for things like that. 

What we did talk about, was how there seems to be a return of "pretty decorating". Pretty can mean different things to different people so I wanted to share with you all my version of what pretty looks like. . .

When I think of pretty, I think soft, sensual and pleasing to the eye. Pinks and anything Parisian constitutes pretty to me. I also love pretty pops of yellow. Against the light grey wall, its a subtle pairing that just delights the senses. 

A sweet birds & butterfly wallpaper in a bathroom is just so pretty. 

Pretty can also be modern and a mix of vintage too. Soft colors keep things pretty as well as curves, crystals and moldings of all sorts. 

I've always been a fan of the monochromatic look and this living room with a tufted sofa and jarred sea shells is totally pretty.
