this march i'm crushing on...

this bright white room + yellow lamp

this fantastically green sunburst mirror...
so different from the ordinary gold or plain mirrored ones.
this bright + beautiful apartment of this super cute couple.
I'm really in love with that pair of cozy white chairs.
this beautiful home. if only i lived in a place where homes that looked like this didn't cost millions of dollars (sometimes i do miss my hometown)
ultimately i really do love the fact that i live near the ocean.
The ocean is absolutely my bliss!
and I am 100 % in love with this living room...i'm secretly wishing i could have my morning coffee on that cute pink outdoor table.
sigh.

secret of domestic bliss #6...must add jewels

In order to complete an outfit most girls add earrings.
In attempt to make my home the perfect abode...
I am always on the lookout for a new chandelier.
I could literally fill my house with them!
I think my newest obsession is a black crystal one like this one above...
remember this dining room from Domino? I always loved this image.

to all my blogging friends...


If I had all of your addresses and millions of stamps, 
I would be sending each of you a sweet note personally...
but I am not that well equipped.
I want to thank you all so much for your comments, conversations and encouragement.
I think we all know how awesome it is to relate and connect to one another.
I feel that I am in such great company!
Thank you also, for the comments on my blog layout.
I honestly have no idea what I am doing, and am far far from a graphic designer.
A little trial and error and I am finally figuring my way around this thing.

Lots and lots of love to you all. Hope you had a great weekend.
happy monday!

secret of domestic bliss #5...bring back the black

In Los Angeles, black is back and badder than ever.
I have recently fallen for the artwork of Ian Macdonald
and his fantastic black ceramic installation. 
I seriously want to create this look in my home, it's perfectly modern.
How on earth could I not want a collection like this?

His work is just a wee bit out of my price range so I might be able to recreate the look with these things that I am digging on.

art + room...art that i absolutely heart


I have fallen head over heels in love with the works of Mariska Meijers.
This Amsterdam based artist has made quite the collection of works...
all inspired by interior design.
She left the corporate world a few years ago to pursue her artistic dream.
Sigh! Love her.
Her stuff is incredible. She is definitely a girl after my own heart.
Check her blog out, its adorable!
