Art Wall Inspiration
I’m currently obsessed with finding art for my walls… I’m in redecorating mode on the cheap at the moment (well actually always) but I’m always looking for inspiration.
I found this photo below on a newly discovered blog Bazaar of Serendipity and I instantly was attracted to the colors and layout of this wall (Image from Southern Living). According to La Dolce Vita blog, the images are all from Etsy… my favorite is the fashion profile in the middle in orange. I especially like the dear heads (I think that’s what they are) placed in and around the art, giving it some visual interest. In addition, notice how there are different colored frames adding texture and depth.
I found this beauty over at luxe + lillies blog, I wouldn’t use these particular photos but I like the general idea. A black wall littered with white frame and continued with black and white photography, super slick. I’ve always wanted to have a black wall but I live in a rental… one day for sure!

Amy Lau Design – Simply Gorgeous!
I was perusing a website called Krate for website design inspirations (I’m currently working on restyling luxxury livving at the moment) and came across an amazing interior designer by the name of Amy Lau. From the first image I was intrigued. She’s been featured in Elle Decor, The New York Times, House & Garden just to name a few.
Here are my favorites from her portfolio, I’m sure there is a bit of everything for every decor style and taste. A lovely hit of color intermixed with mid-century modern pieces = amazing design.

The Stylish Kelly Framel from the Glamorai
I was watching The Nate Berkus Show last night and watched in awe a lovely lady by the name of Kelly Framel from the glamourai proudly showing viewers her home…. it’s simply glamorous! I immediately wanted to share it with you all… but first I emailed Kelly to make sure it was OK (you never know right)…. and of course it was, how lovely.
First, get to know Kelly, here is a clip backstage at The Nate Berkus Show, I’m so impressed with her style. A talented jewelery designer (side note, check out her jewelery at http://kellyframel.com/, it’s just as glamorous as she is!).
Now for the jewels, here is her apartment… I simply can’t get over how everything works together, mixing old and new yet everything looks contemporary. Splashes of gold throughout is very apparent, it’s the perfect sparkle… I think gold has come a long way, I’m noticing it more and more.
Here is her living room, before and after… they are both amazing… I can’t decide, I like them both.
I’m always amazed what a can of paint and a dash of imagination can do. By painting this both black and white gives it such interest and appeal. What a beautiful find and a well-executed transformation. Beautifully styled with a large mirror, a black and white frame, trays and of course jewelery.
Can I say jealous! The clothes, the shoes, I only wish my closet was this rich with choices. This closet photo is only one of many, check here to see more.
Additional home tour photos, this home is so well put together. Take a peak at the utensils in the background cleverly placed in clear glasses, brilliant. It’s simple details like that that make the difference.
I’m always so impressed and enjoy discovering creative people. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
