Chandeliers

Chandeliers are a great way to add light and transform any space. I love to use them like art and make them a focal point of any room. Whether you have a rustic chandelier or a spectacularly elegant one, they can add a lot of pizzazz. 

This antique chandelier from Nanette Lepore's house adds extra pop to her already stylish and eclectic abode.

Vamanos a Montauk!

Let's go to Montauk!

To do list: Visit the Hamptons this summer...

There's something super charming about "summering in the Hamptons" and Montauk seems like the perfect place to be during the hot weather. This east coast beach town is the perfect blend of charming, glamorous and beachy. 

The contrast between the rustic beach cottages and beautiful beaches make it an ideal place to hangout. The simplicity of the white woodwork and clean lines in these photos give a glimpse into the laid back lifestyle of the town. 

The amazing scenery and idea of the perfect clam bake, is putting it on my new top spot to visit...Vamanos!

Estilo Hacienda

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Hacienda style is as much a part of California architecture and décor as it is in Central and South America. True to its roots, the style is often expressed by white stucco walls and floors that alternate between ebony-stained wood and terra cotta tiles. The striking contrast is perfect for unique folk art and textiles. 

These pictures below boast a unique Mexican hacienda 21st century style without compromising their original charm. The soaring ceilings with exposed rafters, brightly colored walls and colorful floor tiles represent the rustic simplicity of the style. Rustic furniture and rod iron light fixtures finishes the look to give it an original hacienda vibe.
