I have to admit - I'm a reality show junkie! And nothing is better than watching interior designers going from house to house decorating beautiful spaces. If any of you haven't seen Million Dollar Decorators - it's a must see! Not only is it educational - it's hilarious; the eccentric personalities and relationships of these decorators will leave you rolling on the floor with laughter!

This show is by far my all-time-favorite!

Below are some images of Jeffrey Allan Marks' creative spaces, he is one of the decorators on the show:

Jeffrey's design aesthetic is based on clean lines and classic proportions.

I love the calming color palette!

Hoping all are having a wonderful week!

Paris Meets Pebble Beach...

10:08 PM By admin

One of my all-time-favorite homes was in the Veranda magazine several years ago! Betty Burgess was the master mind behind this beautiful mid-century Parisian home. Burgess honors European classicism flawlessly - combining the perfect amount of modern rusticity throughout the home!

The Dhurrie Rug...

4:54 PM By admin

My favorite rug I had in my last home was the Dhurrie Rug!

Not only was it affordable - it was long wearing, easy cleaning and non-shedding.

I was so nervous to put a rug under my kitchen table, but this particular rug cleaned up so well and worked perfect.

If you're looking for a new rug - go with Dhurrie, you won't be disappointed!

This particular rug was under my kitchen table, it's called the Soho Dhurrie

Notice how versatile these rugs are, they go with everything!

Check them out - they're awesome!

Can't Get Enough...

Every time I see a foyer, kitchen, office space, or bedroom with a lantern... I swoon!

What is about me and lanterns - I'm obsessed with them! They bring so much timeless character to a room; they don't shout out at you, but they bring the perfect amount of balanced dimension to any style:
