APRIL FOOD DAY
As many of you are probably aware, there is a drive underway this April 1st, for bloggers to unite and donate to the organization Feeding America, formerly known as the Nation’s Food Bank Network. April Food Day is asking all those who write blogs and those who read them to donate $1.00 on April 1st (or even today!) One dollar is such a small amount, yet it equates to ten pounds of

Crazy For Shells
I only feel comfortable with a small dose of ' SHELL DECOR ', but as my mother would say;" It takes a lot of different horses to make a horse race .'' This house is in Austin Texas. I would expect to find it in El Cid, just over the bridgefrom Palm Beach, where there are absolutely charming homes. This picture drew me right in...........and suddenly I wanted to post.(remember, I have been feeling

Pretty in Pinks and Blues
It’s always fun to find new designers, especially ones that share the same aesthetic that you do. I never had seen Christopher Maya’s work before, but apparently he’s had a long and very successful career. I try to keep up with designers, young and more established, and thought I had done a good job at that, but apparently, not good enough! I’ll have to try harder in the future. It was

It's Time to Build!
Almost every day I ask myself why more people are not taking advantage of this crazy building market. By crazy I mean this is a ridiculous buyers market. The answer seems to be fear. We can't seem to get away from all the bad news. Just turn on your tv or your computer and you get nailed with it. I cannot say if the fear is justified or not. Each persons situation is unique, and so it is up to them to determine for themselves. But I can tell you that right now there are some really good opportunities for those that choose to pursue them.

.jpg)
If you have been thinking of building a new home or remodeling your existing one I suggest seriously pursuing it. If not, you may just be missing the opportunity of a lifetime. I have been in this industry for more than a few years now, and I cannot remember any time that the market has been more favorable for the buyer / client. Here are a few of the big reasons:
- Interest rates are ridiculously low.
- Contractors and subcontractors are highly motivated. In many cases they are working with little or no profit just to keep their good people busy. And since they are not that busy, they have the time to dedicate to your project. An associate of mine has had a flood of very high quality contractors practically begging to bid on a bathroom remodeling project. I have had numerous local contractors request to bid on a project that is several hours outside of our traditional building area.
- Lot costs have plummeted. Developers are looking to unload. Indeed the banks now own quite a bit of really nice land. Call up a few of your local banks and ask for their property listings. You might find a great deal by buying directly from the bank.
- Many material costs are at 10 year lows. Since no one is building demand is very low and inventories are up. Classic over-supply and under-demand.
- Everyone in the process is open to negotiation. Realtors, Land Owners, Architects, General Contractors, Sub-Contractors, Suppliers, etc.
Seriously this feels like the perfect storm - as in the perfect buyers market. A great opportunity to do a beautiful project at the best possible value.
How long will this last?
Nobody seems to know. But statistics are beginning to show an improvement in the sales of existing homes and once inventory is diminished construction costs will begin to rise again. Nobody knows how long this "window" will be open, but we all know it will not be open forever.
Don't Feel Guilty!
It is true that the current market allows the buyer to take advantage of the situation. But at the same time the builders, vendors, designers, realtors that are surviving are truly appreciative of the work. And if you pick the right team they are going to give you their best.
Build Smart!
If you decide to proceed with a project, make sure you do it smart. For instance "McMansions" have a bad name right now and the builders cannot seem to give them away. This might not be the type of home that will be in great demand even after the turnaround. Folks are starting to look for a more modest, smartly designed and quality constructed home. The type of homes as seen below designed by Larson Brenner Architects.
.jpg)
Be Smart!
Utilize the expertise of your professionals (architects / designers, general contractors, realtors, etc.). Don't try to design and construct the project yourself. You will get a better outcome and will carry less burden if you have a good team around you. And besides, right now you are practically getting their services for free!

Dreaming of My So-Called French Life
Is spring really here? Really, is it for sure spring yet? It has been such a cold winter for Houston and everyone is so tired of it. I know it can’t compare to what those in the north have to suffer through, (and suffer you must surely do!) but still, this winter it was actually cold here – and for a long time. Most winters, we have spells where you can wear T-shirts around during the day

Cerise Pink Quilt Cover-Burlesque by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen
Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen has a new range of luxury bedding which are both sassy and practical. In typical Llewellyn-Bowen style this Burlesque pink quilt cover has a real flamboyance and style.
The quilt cover design has great swirls of purple and black scrolls which have glitter on them against a vivid cerise pink background which creates a very dramatic effect!
The colours may be rather loud for some bedrooms, however they are of course ticking all the ‘right’ fashion trend boxes! Very feminine in an almost Barbie way-I’m not sure that Lawrence would appreciate the comparison!
This bedding design would certainly inject colour into a bedroom and with the matching accessories of cushions and in-vogue bed runner it is both affordable and attractive if you like pink! For a more subtle pink quilt cover choose one which has more amethyst tones rather than neon.
I prefer some of his other bedding designs, in particular the Georgia duvet cover with its cute chandelier motif scatter cushions which blend beautifully with the chandelier shown in the bedroom design.
Lawrence has also included some very deep and sensual colours within his bedding range. I must admit not really my cup of tea so to speak, but nevertheless they are of course elegant and chic-you really wouldn’t expect anything less from his designs!
Take a look at his designs and also the room’s décors and layout for some very inspirational bedroom interior design styles. Of course these are not real bedrooms in real homes but they do have some great ideas and colours which work well together.

A Few Fab Bathrooms
This one is my fave. It is quite Palm Beachy. The mirror is framed out in sea shells. That is classic Palm Beach. And the black & white.................is classic. This one actually is my favorite, it is sexy and masculine with the rich paneling......it is timeless. I have done this, and it is fabulous. A concrete sink is great, you can do what ever you want with it. Any size, and any stain (

Home Is A Castle
What a great house, it almost looks like Cinderella's Castle at Disney World. The reason I posted this house is because I was drawn to the interior architecture, and all that I could & would do with it. It is obvious that this is an older home with the exposed radiators and this kitchen. I happen to think this kitchen is charming. It reminds me of an older yachts galley. It almost looks like

Those kind of blogs are so fun to follow, watching the homeowners struggling with their choices, broadcasting their mistakes, and then finally, proudly showing off the finished product. And even more impressive about these renovations, is that all the labor is usually

Be Inspired To Add Colour To Your Home
Plain white can sometimes be rather bland and boring. While it offers a crisp clean look which can give the illusion of more space injections of colour as seen in this floral headboard and contrasting throw are perfect!
Additional accessories which blend beautifully are used with great effect. This is the type of stylish bedroom which can be emulated on a low budget, which is great news for many during the credit crunch!
Transform a bedroom in a weekend by painting walls and ceiling brilliant white, add a cheap blinds in white and but some reasonably priced white bedding. The choice of colours you use to inject your colour is down to a matter of personal taste.
I love the bright greens, turquoises and pinks which provide a vibrancy and fresh look which designer Mi Casa Revista have used. The concept of the design was to offer inspiration to others to pep up their homes in a stylish and affordable way. I think they have hit the nail on the head, metaphorically, with this great bedroom design.
More Mi Casa Revista inspirational designs can be found at freshome where there are design ideas for every room in a home. Adding injections of colour can lift the spirit and the mood- which is something we could all do with from time to time.
The whole idea behind the world of Interior Design is to share thoughts and design concepts with others and in my opinion Mi Casa Revista have done just that!
