Wallpaper is not just old-school anymore. It's a great way to add color and design to any room in your home. Nowadays, there are so many different varieties of colors an textures to choose from. I prefer just one wall of wallpaper, but whatever you choose it's sure to add some of your own personal style!

Let the wallpaper stand alone for a statement piece. The design above adds a touch of nature to a sophisticated room. 

If you are having  wallpaper commitment issues, start off in the laundry room with bright and fun colors.

Cabaña de la piscina

"Pool cabana"

Daydreaming about lazy summer days by the pool? Me too! Summer is just around the corner (well, not really), so here is to the perfect pool cabana- Viva la summer.

If you are trying to entertain with a stylish swimming spot or create a serene, sophisticated retreat, these outdoor spaces make a perfect summer playground. 

Whether it's an escape from the heat or a perfect backyard vacation, keeping it poolside has never been cooler. 

Feliz Día de San Valentin!

Happy Valentine's Day

While Valentine's Day is a favorite holiday in the United States, the Latin world takes on a different approach. Not only is the "Dia de Los Amores" for lovers, but also a celebration of friendship and life-long relationships that stand the test of time. Today, we tribute all the special people in our lives and the perfect way to celebrate- Latin style!

Inspired by Latin American textiles and bright colors, this table setting is the perfect spot for a dinner of "Amor".

Argentina dedicates an entire week to friendship and "sweetness". What better way to honor that week than with churros y chocolate (me encanta)!!

Whether you are spending the day with a loved one or solo with a sweet, hoping that Valentine's Day inspires you to create amor throughout your life and home!

Black and White

Nothing states glamour like black and white checkered tiles. Originally made popular in the 1930's by Dorothy Draper and the Hollywood Regency, the style is making a comeback and I couldn't be happier.

There is a space for checkerboard tiles in any home. Black and white has always had strong impression and can create a touch of charm and elegance. The tile designs may vary from simple to complex and look brilliant in a white room or with a pop of color.  

Whether in a sleek modern room or a Latin inspired home, checkerboard tile always adds atyle.

"pink"

I love any shade of pink. For me, pink can be the perfect accent color to any room. It can be a wonderful backdrop color or an excellent statement piece. I like to choose pinks ranging from warm and inviting to bright and feminine. 

Here are a couple of ideas of how to incorporate pink into your home- Just in time for Valentine's Day!

This picture boasts bright shades of pink, partnering bold oranges and reds to give this setting the perfect Latina touch!! VIVA ROSA

Adding a fun textile (you can find these at markets throughout most of Mexico) sometimes can make all the difference.

This is a bold choice, but adding robust shades of pink with a classy room can add just the right amount of glamour.
