Décor Eye Candy – Feast on These 11 Fabulous Spaces
Everyone likes to dream a little when they imagine their dream home, luscious garden, picture perfect view, or even their luxurious backyard pool. Whatever you dream about this weekend, you can take tips and ideas from these 11 fabulous spaces I’ve collected throughout the week. Most of these spaces have a few things in common: unexpected elegance with a hint of old-world décor. You can tell the designers love a modern look, but also like to keep it traditional by incorporating re-furbished antiques and delicate detailing on pillows, curtains, and upholstering.
So what’s their secret? If your dying to get this look at home, I have a quick fix: Buy a few antique pieces like an old armoire or Louis XVI chair and refurbish it with modern upholstering and a warm matching color. Try to avoid “of the moment” colors like electric orange or hot fuchsia that tend to go out of style quickly. Warm colors like gold and bronze paired with an antique finish are timeless colors that always look good.
If you feel your space still doesn’t have the “oomph” you are looking for, try creating a daring look to surprise your guests by incorporating wild animal prints. Slipping in an upholstered leopard chair or a vibrant zebra hide can completely change your whole look, making all the difference. Keep in mind that you always need to have one piece to really kick your decorating up a notch. Take a look:

The Joy of Color – The Most Exciting Hues for Summer
Welcome to the bright side where colors, patterns and styles clash together and make wonders to our homes. Drop the so call “design rules” and go with the flow: mix up colors and patterns in any way you like to create a space that’s full of life and warmth. Switching it up is what design is all about, so go with your gut and choose hues that really make you glow: think watermelon pink, lime green, creamy white and tangerine orange (some of my favorites!). Designer Jamie Meares knows how to do it best – check out her chic designs below:
BDB Tip: A great way to bring in a pop of electric color is through bright piping on sofas, ottomans, and stools. If you have trouble finding the right piece, try shopping online for an endless selection of unique furniture.

Hot Right Now: Leopard Benches
Do you feel like your home is missing something? What it’s probably lacking is a lack of oomph and a WOW factor every home needs to have. This summer take the plunge by adding an exciting Venetian style leopard bench. This is one of those things I just HAVE to have no matter how much it costs. Even if you come across a great bench that has some potential, reupholster it in a luscious animal print. Take a look at the gorgeous benches I came across:
