Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the perfect one for fall? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself from using that classic rhyme for this blog. We all have gone through a wall mirror phase or you’re currently still in it. Don’t feel guilty because I do adore a beautiful wall mirror. It is one of the best home accessories. Mirrors are perfect for making a small space feel grand by adding style and reflecting light around a room. There are so many different styles to choose from: elegant, modern, rustic, eccentric, and more! I have selected 9 of my favorite mirrors that will dress up any room for fall.

Staircases are about more than just getting from one floor to another. A staircase can be an interior design showpiece that adds value to a home. They are perfect for making great first impressions while entertaining guests. Staircases come in all different shapes and styles. They can be dressed up with accent wallpapers and ornate light fixtures. Or keep the design simple and classic. The fun of interior design is pushing boundaries. While scrolling through Instagram, I came across eight unique staircases. I hope this blog leaves you inspired!

Kitchen trends are changing again and now, anything but a white kitchen is in. While white kitchens are still incredibly popular and have been over the last few years, it seems like alternative kitchen color palettes are everywhere. Navy, taupe, beige, green, you name it, it’s in, and they are here to stay.

The kitchen above, designed by Shavonda Gardner, is beautifully unique. Shavonda, a California based blogger and interior designer, used deep red cabinetry, dark grey soapstone counters, khaki colored ceramic brick tailes for the backsplash, amazing yellow floral wallpaper, gold sconces, and a gold pot holder rod across the wall from end to end. She mixes and matches colors that aren’t normally used in the kitchen. Shavonda’s kitchen is chic, stylish, bold and totally not white. This is my pick for “stand out kitchen of the year” actually. I love it.

With that said, we now bring you more not-so-white-kitchens – a trend that is taking over kitchen design.

Supermodel, Cara Delevingne, shows off her colorful pad. Dive inside Cara Delevingne’s, fun and vibrant home that matches her silly and stylish personality.

And there is one artistic statement piece that creates a “wow” factor in every room. Some of her personal treasures include her Chanel surfboard, the Chemical X bull’s-eye sculpture made of thousands of Ecstasy pills suspended in acrylic, and the David Bowie inspired bathroom.

Not sure if you all know this but I put designing on pause for the last year and a half so I could launch my new shopping platform, Chirpyest. Last summer, however, my friend Susan Feldman, founder of One Kings Lane and In the Groove, connected me with Stacy Borocz, the CEO of etúHOME, to discuss a possible collaboration. Brainstorming with the etúHOME team immediately allowed me to use that creative energy that I suppressed for almost two years. The final products are even better than I could ever imagine.

I’m sure I’m not the only person who has to throw together last minute summer dinner parties. Due to my busy schedule, I don’t have the time to run around Beverly Hills to shop for table decor. As much as I would love to find intricate pieces and fun accessories, it’s not always realistic. I decided to challenge myself to see if I can throw together a stylish summer dinner party in 5 minutes or less. And guess what? I did it! Yes, it’s actually doable.

My best advice is to order everything from one store. That way it’s easy to pull items from one location. I ordered many cute and affordable items from Walmart Home’s citrus summer collection. The yellow pillows, lemon pattered table cloth, and pops of aquafrom the plates are the perfect combination. The key to creating a perfect tablescape is all about balance. The finishing touch was the bowl of fruit to tie in the yellow from the table cloth.

One thing to love about Spanish architecture is the usage of organic elements. This San Jose estate designed by Kesha Franklin of Halden Interiors adds a twist to the usual Spanish feel. Franklin’s speciality is creating balance within a home. Whether that is adding boldness to a minimalistic home. Or softening a more modern structure with minimal designs. In this case, it was finding the balance between the Spanish architecture and her client’s desire for modern luxury. Franklin wanted the owners of the San Jose estate to be truly inspired.
