Friends, this is a super quick post. More like a service announcement for people who dream about decorating when they should be doing other things…

You must stop what you are doing and ORDER THIS BOOK.

{click on the book image or click here to purchase}

It is practical. It is edited to perfection. It tells you exactly what you need to get the most luxurious and beautiful home in a realistic, down-to-earth way.

I think I am going to read a snippet from it every day. For real.

Because it is that good.

And that meaty. With USEABLE information that you will be so glad you have at your fingertips.

You may know that I adore Lauren Liess for her decorating style, but she also has a natural instructional manner about her that is truly helpful to others. If you don’t follow along with her blog, you must do so!

One of my favorite things about this amazing guide is how it is broken down. The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of design. The second section covers the intangibles – what makes for a really GOOD design… and I am LOVING this section of the book for how it puts vocabulary to the unexplainable. The final section breaks down decorating by room.

But my favorite page might just be page 266. When you get the book and read it, {and you know me and how I feel about these things}, you will know why I adore Lauren, and why I will sing her praises from the rooftops. Because, she gets it.

Okay.

Now run, click, and be glad you did!!!

Mad for Madrid

 Today’s ditto post features a stunning living room from Spanish designer, Luis Puerto. His designs are gorgeous, and outside of the box from what we tend to see Stateside. I love to head to different continents (in my mind, most of the time!) to be inspired by global influences. So many design details caught my eye, so read on to find out what I would ditto.

This is not the first time I have been in love with a space from Madrid.  That awesome space was also from Nuevo Estilo. Maybe I should just go ahead and subscribe… I certainly seem to be Mad for Madrid!

As you look at this space, you might think “This is way to _____ for me.” I encourage you not to dismiss a space when it does not seem accessible to you. Instead, pull apart the details. Find out what makes it so fabulous. And then bring your favorite ditto-worthy elements into your own home. In other words, Ditto It!!!!

{ via Nuevo Estilo . <- – See many more awesome pics via this link. }

WHAT I LOVE {What I would ditto!}:

1. The chevron flooring! I am actually trying to ditto this in my upcoming kitchen/dining renovation. We are on a mad hunt for an affordable parquet of engineered flooring, in order to save on cost.

2. That sofa, of course! Velvet! That grey-gold fabric is just dreamy!

3. Sculptural art! Why go little when you can go big and have an impact? This would be a great design trick to ditto, and there are plenty of affordable ways to bring large-scale sculpture into your space (my favorite way is repurposing large, vintage items found at flea markets or antique shops)

4. Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere. In circular shapes, rectangular and square. Get that light bouncing around the room. The floor to ceiling mirrors would be tricky to ditto, but definitely not impossible. I especially love the circular mirror between the huge, gorgeous, rectangular windows.

5. Tables and chairs everywhere. This room invites you to sit, and to stay. Ditto.

6. Those windows. Oh so very European! I love how, in Europe, they have tall and slender windows that go all the way to the floor. Sometimes, these windows function as doors as well – even though they have a much slimmer profile than our doors.

7. Interior shutters. This would be a pricey ditto, but what an impact these folding interior shutters would be!

8. Tufting! I am still in love with tufted velvet sofas, and my love is not waning.

DO YOU LOVE IT??

Taking care of your skin, inside and out, is so very important to overall beauty. I know you have heard that before, but it really is true.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved seeking out the best, most-delicious-smelling, most-effective skin care and beauty products… with the hopes that I can recreate spa-level care in my own home. Because, why not start your day in a spa-like fashion?

That’s why it was never hard to convince me to give essential oils a try… Ummm… Have my house smell like a spa? Yes, please, Thank you very much. AND it was not long before I was a self proclaimed addict to having my house, my skincare, my life – basically, smell JUST like a high-end spa.

#MyHouseSmellsLikeASpa

Pretty soon after, I started giving into my inner-product-junkee-nature and I tried out several of the skin care products that Young Living offers. Friends. I am JUDGMENTAL when it comes to skincare products. I have used just about every brand you can imagine, and I do NOT mess around… I am even willing to pay for good results (although the most expensive beauty products does not always equal the best, take note!).

Since I have been on a mission to #livewithbeauty on the inside and the outside, and to cleanse my home and my products of disgusting, harmful toxins, I was SO.VERY.HAPPY. to discover that the skin and beauty care products offered from my favorite natural living company are the REAL DEAL!

An Outrageously Girly Walk-In Closet

First of all, thank you all for your amazingly kind comments in our full home tour of Fieldstone Hill. I heart you.

Today’s ditto post features a room that is pure feminine deliciousness from Mimosa Lane. What lady would not dream of having a space like this? I think a walk-in closet is THE ideal spot to get ultra girly and have fun with your inner princess. Spoil yourself with a room like this. Some paneling edged in gold, lavender paint, and feminine touches…. be inspired! Ditto!

{ via Mimosa Lane . <- – See many more awesome pics via this link. }

WHAT I LOVE {What I would ditto!}:

1. Those lavender walls with gold detailing.

2. Gold framed art galore. Especially the art piece that is front and center.

3. Fun fabric detailing in the window treatments and seat cushion.

4. Colorful displays that feature pretty clothing choices, front and center.

5. The bow candelabras. These are not hard to find in great vintage condition. Get you a pair!

6. The Mama art. I can’t think of a better way to start my day.

7. Pretty lighting in your closet. These little details are big ways to #livewithbeauty and elevate your daily life with joy and beauty.

8. Don’t miss that hand-painted mirror that matches the closet!

9. Plenty of fun places to put your pretty necklaces, from a hand-painted shell, to a wall-hung antelope head.

10. Fresh flowers. Yes, even in the closet.
