At its core, Parisian chic design is an homage to the fashion and luxury – past and present – of the City of Light, and a way to bring a little slice of it into your home. It’s one part modern, one part antique, and all about luxury and style. As with any theme, Parisian […]

If you want to build a decadent, period-inspired bathroom, chances are you’re going to want an antique bathroom vanity to round it out.

When you hear the word “chandelier,” you probably think of a huge fixture dripping crystals, with lots of little flame shaped lights – something you’d find in a ballroom or a fancy hotel.

Typically, pet beds are one of the unfortunate necessities of pet ownership. Most dog mats or foam cat beds aren’t exactly the most attractive things, but if you don’t want Fido or Fluffy sleeping on your bed, sofa, or favorite recliner, you more or less need to offer them a soft, squishy alternative.

As kitchen design tends more and more toward the modern, old fashioned china cabinets and buffets are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Ornate carved mahogany and leaded glass cabinets are nothing if not beautiful, but they’re out of place in an increasingly minimal dining area. That said, while many people might not want […]

I love decorating modern living spaces. There’s something unique about them – part sophisticated, part minimal, and just a little bit playful – that makes modern spaces really fun to work with.
