Vibrant Bedrooms by Massucco Warner Miller

You can't deny these bedrooms have serious punch! I am always moved by a completely finished bedroom simply because I never had one. My son last night took the elephant photograph off of his wall and a artistic photograph I took of him as a child with his dad - I guess its time to grow up :( Although some of these are for kids- I think they would transition you?

Before and After furniture from ewwww to OOOHHHH!

For work I spend my days doing fashion and beauty makeovers and have to admit it never gets old.
To me finding a cool vintage couch and reupholstering it with fresh fabric can be so much more modern than buying something new. Love these furniture makeovers especially the Mongolian lamb chair.

Tudor Makeover... Now this is Vision!

When I first set eyes on my current apartment, I instantly saw its hidden potential - despite the smell of cat pee, the furry rug wall paper, the dark panelling and hideous EVERYTHING! I knew , on sight, that it would be the apartment I could live in forever. However, when I discovered this blog (Raenovate) I realized just how limited my vision is. I could never imagine that such an old and poorly decorated tudor could turn into something so unbelievable. Had to share the brilliant work of LDa architecture & interiors for submitting this awe-inspiring renovation. the after photos were shot by the accomplished photographer, eric roth and the interiors were styled by ms. lindsay bentis of thread art and design.

I'm Back

I had the best time in Israel and definitely recommend it - What an adventure! If you can go.. make it happen! There is to much to do there so shopping became the lowest priority . My favorite area was Neve-Tsedek which is the Soho of Tel-Aviv. I discovered a jewelry store by the designer Ayala Bar and attacked it. Ayala Bar at workA few of her fab necklaces Via Artfulsoul
They look AMAZING with white shirts and a dare I say a tan

Another Amazing moment was going into the desert for a Moroccan feast - plastic matts and pillows lined the floor, hummas and salads overflowing and mint tea served in moroccan tea glasses made me swoon! Not to mention that we all were given hand drums and banged it out for an hour. I have to do a repeat party on my roof. O

Can you say YUMMMMM!
