Glint over Glitz


I would definitely say this is a glamorous home. So what makes it so glamorous? I believe it starts with the subtle color scheme, brought to life through luxurious velvet and silk fabrics and contrasted with curvy black details and shiny metals. Not to mention the classic furniture with modern twists, and the huge Art Deco influence.


A simple but beautiful vignette in the background. Fresh cut pink flowers are to be found throughout the entire house.

Classic Luxury: Mint Green


Colour Palette - Sage, White & Mint Green


The star of this dining room, with the calm minty color at a close second, is the amazing chandelier.


Brown and White Bedroom

Notice how the designer pulls the brown wall color into drapes and bedding with ribbon details. This actually brings the colouring in together.

 I love the color combination of rich deep brown with crisp white. The pop of orange brings such warmth to this space. Such a clean color palette.

The details in this room is so beautiful.

Dark Wall Contrasted With White

This room is so simple but layered at the same time. Clean shapes and colors are softened by interesting patterns, beautiful texture and shiny surfaces.

The extra spark added by silver, gold and mirrored accents really makes this living room a dream come true.
Colour Palette - Greige, Peach, Blue & Green. 
Pottery Barn never fails to bring a smile to my face. Forget the classic purple and yellow color scheme, and say hello to a warm, fun palette of orange and pink, delishiously accompanied by green.


It’s all about mixing fresh flowers with fruit. And the little peony in the egg shell in the background? So cute!
