Lovexpat Going green
Just a quick post today. This is the color scheme i have selected for the lovexpat showroom. It is in a very green environment with tall big windows looking into a natural reserve. (Amazing! How lucky are we!?) So in an attempt to bring nature indoors and strengthen our concept of supporting nature, the lovexpat showroom has gone green. ❤❤❤ Have a lovely evening!

Wait a while, Cos heaven knows how much I, I might have been loved..

Kelly wearstler on lovexpat
Kelly Wearstler is one of my favourite designers. She has a great eye for mixing modern with an elegant 20s style and mixing patters. Her interiorism design reminds me a bit of the prints and mixes used in Diane Von Furstberg garments. A touch of colour and patters amongst the glory of old school glamour. Love it and plan to incorporate it at our new home. (More on That later)

My love for the British Invation.
In my latest visit to Mexico, In CasaPalacio I discovered my new fascination: Timothy Oulton, the master of british invation. I would say he is the Jeremy Clark of livingrooms. Knowedgable, with a keen eye for beauty – and a rugged boys-boy sort of nonchalance and british arrogance about him. Not a fan of him, love his style. It is not tha I am married to a brit – nor that I grew up amongst them. It`s not that I love tea with scones nor the fact that I love... Read The Rest →

I have three bedroom bathrooms to decorate. The style i am going for is clean, slightly modern in natural materials (stone and natural wood). I am using symetric angles to keep it well put together and later on adding accesories that give each bathroom interest and match it tothe bedroom they belong to. These are the options: Zen handles. Organically stone shaped. Neutral,... Read The Rest →
