I love this light and refreshing bedroom decor by Amanda Barnes Interior Design and photographed by Alyssa Rosenheck. Waking up in this space would be so rejuvenating. I really favor a nice simple refreshing bedroom like this one for making the waking up process so much better.  This well edited and simple room definitely proves less is more. The added character of the natural tone Restoration Hardware Caned Bed and the pinstripe throw with the pom poms are the the perfect combination to the faded blue rug.  See more details below!      

I’ve always been fascinated by hotel interior design. And, as boutique hotels have grown in popularity the design is getting better and better. I love searching for boutique hotels every time I travel. There’s nothing better than planning my next trip or dreaming about new places to travel. I could get lost on the internet for days exploring locations, scenery, food, and hotels. On my last travel binge, I found a handful of incredible hotels to add to my list. These hotels are all very different in design style, but all special in their own way.

This woman is unstoppable! 

I need to plan a fall getaway!  San Francisco is calling my name.  I have lots of friends up north and a cousin too.  I definitely have the bay area on my mind these days!  San Francisco has a wonderful array of short term rental homes perfect for a vacation or longer stay! San Francisco has been on my mind lately and I’ve been spending some time looking into rentals. I discovered during my research that San Francisco is trying to shut down the number of rental properties like this so there are much fewer listings than in previous years. But not to worry! I found a handful of great spaces at various price points. Let’s check these homes out!

Tiny apartments are such a fun topic. As someone who lives in LA, I love having a spacious home and many rooms to decorate. It just feels like a complete space that represents me. Lately, I’ve been browsing some of my favorite interior websites and seeing a lot of small apartment design. It’s incredible how much you can fit in 500 sq feet or less.

I really enjoy looking at Los Angeles home interiors. So many brilliant designers are based here and you simply can’t beat Westcoast style. Here is a round-up of some beautiful celeb homes around the L.A. area!

A perfectly designed NYC apartment is mysterious and exciting. The idea of living in such a populated area and making the most of out what space you can afford is mind-boggling. There are such talented interior designers in NYC that I had an amazing time just exploring images of their work. While not all apartments in NYC are this glamorous, I can’t help but fantasize about these designs. From huge lofts to Parisian chic here are some of my favorites.

I have been DROOLING over pink interior images on Instagram for months! These designs beautifully combine multiple shades of pink into an unusual and fun space.  I hope you are as intrigued and mesmerized by these images as I am. I have a handful of incredible interiors to share with you.

Recently, House Beautiful highlighted two of the COCOCOZY Design House bedrooms in a house tour feature story.  As you know I was so thrilled to see my design work on such a prestigious site.  The COCOCOZY Design House has a total of four bedrooms. It was so much fun dreaming up each room and making it come to life.   When I was thinking about bedding for the COCOCOZY Design House, the only bedding I wanted was Pom Pom at Home. I have their bedding in my current master bedroom so I knew the style and quality was a perfect fit for this design project.

Here is a little close up on two of the bedrooms!

Happy President’s Day!  More on the COCOCOZY Design House.  Today the focus is furnishings in the living room and dining room.  One of our partners for the COCOCOZY Design House is Article. They provided us with furniture for the living and dining room. Modern furniture with clean simple lines as the foundation was what I was looking for when decorating these spaces. I started with the basics a good sofa, great armchairs and substantial dining table, then the rest was easy…

Still pinching myself over the House Beautiful article about the COCOCOZY Design House! Now time for more detail about kitchen and bathroom counters. Last year, I showed you my countertop selection.

As you might recall, Caesarstone, one of the COCOCOZY Design House partners, generously supplied all of the counter material for the kitchen and the bathrooms and I am so happy with my picks:  Statuario Maximus for kitchen and Pure White for the master and 2 other bathrooms!

So excited to share a few photos of the completed COCOCOZY Design House! Today, was so excited that House Beautiful decided to do an exclusive house tour of this remodel project I have been working on for almost 10 months. Last year, I bought the house and started remodeling it in April. Now, here it is, a 1930 classic Spanish Colonial Revival nestled in the hills of Los Angeles in an enclave called View Park.
