i'm really liking the look of white walls and chocolate brown leather warmed up with cozy cushion and blankets.

I'm having family over at the end of February & I really need to get the main guest bedroom (I have two) ready!! Ready meaning, it needs to look appealing. I CAN'T STAND having guests over & having them sleep in a DUMPY ROOM...I want them to feel as comfortable as possible and make the space as aesthetically pleasing as I can. I'm going for a somewhat GLAM look, something pretty but STILL unisex. I've been scavenging the internet for inspiration, and I love Spanish sites like Nuevo Estilo, they have a ton of large photos for readers to look through! I selected these to get me started..... So, are you re-doing a room in your home? Where do you find inspiration?? I'd love to hear from you!

e been starting to think about the TV/Media/Rumpus room in the new house. I am having a living/dining area, but I am trying to decide how to layout the other tv room. In this house we are only have 2 lounge rooms. In our last house we had living, formal and rumpus. I always hated the formal lounge room. It was wasted space and we never used it. It just means more furniture and more cleaning, so I've ditched it and made the living/dining area bigger.

Artsy Fartsy not Shoe Boots... Back in my singleton days, I used to size up a worthy adversary by his shoes. If a man was wearing the wrong shoe, I didn’t give him a second glance. True story: After dating a very nice fireman for a few months, he showed up to dinner one evening wearing cowboy boots. Which was all fine and dandy Sandy because it was the South and he was sort of rugged, albeit short, in that fireman-y kind of way. But as we said our goodbyes in the parking lot he made the mistake of crossing his ankles. Under the lights at Phipps Plaza I discovered, much to my horror, that he was not, in fact, wearing cowboy boots at all. He was wearing shoe boots. Like those ankle cowboy boots I wore in 1992. I never returned another phone call. Think of me what you will. But honey, there was no hope for him and I. Yes, I could have changed his shoes over time, but I never could have changed his primal instinct to put on SHOE. BOOTS. What can I say? I judge a book by its shoes. And while I am over sharing, I will go on to say that I judge a room by its artwork. Artwork separates the men from the boys. Or in this case, Lucchese cowboy boots from shoe boots. Artwork is an essential layer to that collected-over-time look. Artwork screams, looky, I am cool or quirky or artsy-fartsy or lucky enough to have inherited this old thing. It can also scream, I get all my stuff at Hobby Lobby or I wear shoe boots! Not that there is anything wrong with the place. I get all kinds of things there just not my art.

Lindsey Harper picked up that piece at a thrift store for less than $100 smackers. I have found a lot of my artwork at flea markets and antique fairs for very resonable. I picked the woman up at an antique mall for less than $100 smackers. I had that old frame on hand so I popped her in – et voila! She is one of my favorites. Tomorrow I will share some more from around Chez V. And a note to self: I need a large abstract pronto! kisses, mrs. V

I don’t remember where I read it or exactly when I read it, but it had to be well over five years ago. Nevertheless, that one little sentence of advice is still stuck in my head to this day. It went something like, “if your room doesn’t feel finished, add a touch of black”. It’s such a simple suggestion, easy for any novice to try out, and it got me thinking. What other tricks do the pros have up their sleeves?
