I love what a simple addition like these worn exposed beams can add to a space without overdoing it.

Exciting Eclecticism
This Dallas residence is a perfect example of eclecticism. The vivid color palette, antique furniture, and bright airy rooms blend seamlessly together to create this truly one of a kind dream home.

Beach Sophistication
The new Hilton Pattaya hotel in Thailand is here to offer a refreshing take on beachside resort design. The wavy ceiling formations were created with rippling fabric fins that sway softly and are reminiscent of the movement of the ocean without being obnoxiously “themey”. A similar subtle suggestion is made through the neutral palette that evokes a feeling of sand. The Pattaya has truly raised the bar for beach resort sophistication.

Dream Closets
Whether they are meticulously sorted by style and color or left a little messy, these are all great closet inspirations. I love the idea of a center island or table to lay out outfit combinations and display fresh flowers. A chandelier adds flair and an upholstered stool or chair provides the perfect place to put on your shoes and make the space feel more like a room and less like a storage compartment.

The Nomad House
Together, this series of three compact steel and glass cubes create the Desert Nomad House in Tucson, Arizona. Although modern in design, the colors are strongly founded in the surrounding natural environment. The exterior tone mimics a desert sunset flawlessly while the light wood inside is reminiscent of the sand dunes that lay just beyond reach.

A Knack for Abstract
I really love the bold effect that large abstract art can have in a room. It is playful in nature and generally gives you lots of colors to work with for the rest of the space. Although abstract art is generally ambiguous in nature, it always seems to create a focal point that people cannot take their eyes off of.
