Make Your Library Pop with Vibrant Purple Hues

Purple hues have never looked so good when used in unexpected places like your home library or even office. I have always liked “old school” libraries with dark wood paneling and big chesterfield lounge chairs until I saw this modernized version of a funky library.I don’t know if I could really get any serious reading done in this space but it still makes a great place to hang out and read magazines with your girlfriends.

Good complementing colors to an energetic hue like this would be cobalt blue like this designer used in the window treatments, apple green, gold, violet, and black. Try it out!

Dream Bathroom – Everything a Girl Needs

Quit dreaming about your dream bathroom and make it a reality once and for all! This extravagant bathroom may seem a little much, but take some clever inspiration from it and try the look yourself. Read on for some quick tips to get you started:

  • Install a wraparound mirror to instantly make your bathroom look double in size.
  • Have no room for the big oval bench below? Move in a small circular ottoman for the same effect.
  • For more light reflecting material, install mirrors on all of your cupboards and drawers.
  • Keep it sleek by sticking to a bright white color palette with hints of grey, and gold.
  • Display some fashionable sketches in thin gold frames for a small taste of glamor. Pop a small bright fuchsia bouquet for even more bathroom elegance.
  • Check out your local flea market and search for a unique antique tray to display all of your favorite perfumes and jewelry.
  • You can install recessed lighting or try a mini chandelier for a space that really sparkles.

Coco Chanel’s Living Room Tour

I’ve featured Coco’s apartment before and I just can’t get enough of her effortless and elegant taste of design. I came across some more stunning photos of her place and just had to include them on the blog. My next living room makeover is going to look a little more like this: lots of bookshelves above the sofa, and some extravagant lacquered Chinese screens. Something to dream about!
