OUTDOOR INSPIRATIONS

I would say my design style consists of combining contemporary design with elements pulled from Indian, Chinese and Moroccan cultures. I also love bringing outdoors inside a space by creating harmony and  a fluid transition between one space to the other. The images below either represent my preferred design style or inspirations for other styles I adore. 

I love using the white and cream color palettes. When incorporating gold, I also love the addition of the peachy colors to warm up the space. The swing below contributes to the Indian style but also adds a touch of playfulness to the elegant design.  

This is a great look for the rooftop of a loft. 

Nothing feels more zen than the greenery surrounding the pond water that has painted the reflection. 

Once again, ZEN.

Great outdoor accessory!

In my home, the outdoor space we use the most is around the fire pit. No matter what Southern California temperature, we all gather around, get cozy, and spend quality time together. 

THE HOTEL THAT MAKES ME BLUSH!

Villa D'Este, in Lake Como, is my most favorite hotel in this world! The villa combines history with elegance. I could spend all day in the gardens and just relax. I cannot wait to visit! 

TRICK, AND TREAT!

Here are some great Halloween ideas! I've chosen my favorite concepts from these pictures to decorate my own house. 

Tomb stones in the front lawn and dim lighting are a great way to greet your guests and prepare them for the spooky decor inside. 

Love the stacked pierced pumpkins. The piercings allow beams of light to come through for a great lighting effect.

The cauldron is filled with punch and dry ice to create a steam effect. No need for a fog machine! First time I saw a drink prepared like this was a lemon drop at Mastros. So fabulous!

Black birds are just scary, even in everyday life.

I love skulls! I don't need halloween to have skulls all over the place...

Vegetables/ fruits + food coloring + water = pickled guts!

Red candle wax poured over a white candle stick gives the impression of dripping blood.

Glow in the dark eyes in a frame. This illusion is so easy to make and cost effective. Visit the Martha Stewart website for details. I made three of them with my cousin in 30 minutes!
