CHANGE IS GOOD

I love to make big changes in everything I do. My most dramatic change was when I lost over 100 lbs and my life changed completely. My goal now is to transform places and take them   from being boring to  FABULOUS! Anything and everything has potential...you just have to look for it. Transform your place without spending any money by using stuff that you  already have.

Don't be afraid to give your place a fresh new look! IT DESERVES IT!!!

SLEEPING BEAUTIFULLY

   I melt for elegant, chic and beautifully decorated bedrooms. As many of my friends and family know, I DISLIKE taking naps or even sleeping for long periods of time, but today I want to show you some of the rooms that made me think twice about it.
The vibe of these rooms are soothing. I could sleep for hours!!!



"I DIE FOR THESE ROOMS"
Airy and comfortable.

Timeless chic.

Rustic yet cozy!

Simple and crisp!

Warm.

Romantic and femenine.

A breath of fresh air!!!

Nite Nite!!!

SPLASH OF COLOR

My 2011 resolution is to step out of my comfort zone and make more bold and colorful choices.
I've finally opened my eyes and learned that taking risks can be a lot of fun!

"OUT" WITH THE BLAH AND "IN" WITH THE COLOR!

Add some pizazz to any wall with a
bold, yet chic, wallpaper!



I love adding splashes of CHARTREUSE
 to any room! it puts a smile on
my face!


Dress your side table with a pretty
colorful lamp.


Get rid off the boring  knickknacks
on your shelves and add  bold,
colorful vases in different
 shapes and sizes.

GOT COLOR??? Add some playfulness to any
room with a chandelier like this one! It is
made of , believe it or not,
COLORED PING PONG BALLS!
