sweet indulgences...a purple bedroom

 Purple will always be my most favorite color! I am so thrilled it is showing up everywhere this fall. I am even wearing my favorite purple shirt today! I love imagining what it would be like to decorate an entire room in purple. I don't think I could actually ever do it, but I thoroughly enjoy being inspired by the lushness + indulgence of this all purple bedroom. 
The wallpaper is Oh so fab! I can't get over the headboard and the two-toned drapes and I think I am in love with that rug too! fun fun fun!

french + fabulous


I found this scan of French Elle Decor and the home of Interior Designer, Elodie Sire's, French flat.
I can't get over the character of this gorgeous apartment. The lighting is to die for, so extravagant and perfect, totally the jewels of the space. The light blue color on the walls, DEELISH! Please don't miss the curtains either, the detail on them is ridiculously good. I love it all.

secret to domestic bliss #29... a frame of inspiration

I don't know what it is about mood boards and inspiration boards that captivate me. Maybe its the fact that being a 'decorista' causes me to be endlessly inspired and curious to see the way others are inspired as well.
I just really love to see what people love and it feeds my soul to keep my inspirations floating about. I encourage those of you who are not self-proclaimed or professional decoristas to try it out. Whether it be on your fridge, in your closet, or your home office, throw up your most favorite images and see just what matriculates into your life (like a vision board)! Take this as a challenge, it can actually be fun + exciting!!!

Home Tour: everything is bigger + better in Texas

Being that I was born and raised in Texas, I am always in support of anything that comes out of my home state. I have to say, not much really captures me as far as Texas design goes. However, Dallas is stepping up its game. In the latest issue of DHome mag, I found an inspiring spread of a beautiful Park Cities home. Maleiah and Ryan Rogers, the grandson of Mary Kay Ash and his wife, redecorated the former home of interior designer Susan Baten. How exciting and challenging all at the same time. I'd say they kept the pad pretty fashionably stylish. I am loving her dressing room/closet and the gorgeous soft colors throughout the home. I am completely impressed by the fabulous couple. Go Dallas Go!

Everything about this adorable little space i LOVE LOVE LOVE.
The gorgeous and oversized venetian mirror just kills me. I adore the uber cute dining table with glossy black chairs, its oh so parisian chic. Over in the kitchen is a pretty tiled backsplash + white glossy cabinets. A modern Eames chair + modern pendant lamp add an extra flair to the whole space. I just am dying over this place. Oh, and how cute is that pink morrocan pouf? love.
It all completely just screams decorista bliss!
