Is Spring near?

Beloved followers! 

We love pears in our clafoutis and on our walls!!... Great colours, shapes and this particular painting is so well executed! You can find it at Artspace oakville on Reynolds st. in oakville, ON. We composed a dining room around it! Dont forget the right wall colour for a space with this colour pallette. We recommend Dove White by Benjamin Moore for a crisp white with a touch of warmth!

Enjoy!

Too Long.. Its been too long....

Dear followers,

Nothing makes me happier than writing my blog and sharing my design scheme around artwork online with you! Its been way too long since my last confession.... Here is the latest painting that caught my eye (at the IDS this year in Toronto) and the room created around it! A very talented artist: Amy Shackleton from Toronto! I fell in love with her drip technique and her attention to details and her use of colours!

Its been 6 months since my last confession.....

Dear friends,

It has been way too long since my last confession, or should I say my last blog entry! I miss it so much but I just haven't had any time! Writing my blog allows me to sit and get into a zone that is nearly impossible for me to reach on a daily basis.. For now at least!... So, I decided to create a room around an amazing rug created by the late Alexander McQueen. His creations mostly in the fashion industry were nothing short of genius... I feel inspired again:)...

A cozy boudoir for us ladies....

Hi! my beloved readers.. This post is dedicated to all my friends and ladies that have busy lives-moms, career women, students...) and need a place to retreat! I love the blends of blues, peacock and soft creams in this palette! The textures are also amazing.. (Velvets, petrified wood, softs rug)..Find yourself a space that you can close the door to and call your own!

Enjoy!

My perfect bedroom

My dear readers.. This blog entry is about me!!!.. You may be wondering "how", but this nude painting, created by dear friend Sanjay B. Patel from Oakville Ontario, is hanging in my own bedroom wall. I absolutely love it! Sanjay works mostly with a knife to create depth and textures and specializes in abstract paintings. Sanjay is amazing at having many pictures emerge from a single one! He also excels at bringing colors together. His skills are limitless and I always look forward to his next painting! Herne is my version of a great bedroom!.. Of course, antique dealer extraordinaire and great friend Lewis Trimble dresses up the rest of the decor (1stDibs). Thank you gentlemen for making my world, a better world......

Enjoy!
