You know the great satisfaction that comes with decorating a room in your
house. Be it the powder room or the living room, there is a sense of pride that
will come over you for months every time you walk into that particular room.
Now imagine sharing that feeling with your mate. Not only the feelings of
pride, but the memory of how much fun you both had decorating the room together.
No matter how big or small the project, it is guaranteed to bring you closer
together as a couple.

This concept has everything a relationship desires: quality time,
communication, trust (in each other’s sense of taste), cooperation,
negotiation and fun! The time together is exciting as you are both working on a
project, a common goal and most importantly a change for the both of you. Most
couples are mainly productive at their jobs and likely aren’t appreciated for
all their hard work. But when you work together on a decorating project there
is camaraderie, appreciation for the time and effort put forward, and
inevitably, admiration. Activities when decorating a room together can include
drinking coffee while going over your fabric or paint colour options; taking
trips together to pick out special items, searching the internet for unique
ideas or simply brainstorming together.

The best part of all when decorating with your mate is getting down to the
nitty gritty. Putting on your old jogging pants, pulling up your sleeves and
getting dirty. Cleaning and prepping walls for painting can be done in no time
if you work as a team. Crank up the music and really put your back into it the
task at hand. There is no greater aphrodisiac for a man than to see his woman
tearing a cabinet off a wall. It doesn’t hurt to have a bottle of wine on
hand as well. Use this time as productive work time but also as a slow
seduction. Take time between moving furniture and painting walls to share a kiss
or a playful pat on the back with a paint brush. Trust me, you will not be
too tired to carry the fun into the bedroom once your project is complete. You
will be rewarding each other for months to come and remember the great fun you
had together every time somebody comments on your newly decorated room.

So stop putting that little project off and dedicate a Saturday to getting it
done. Soon you and your mate will have your entire home redecorated and
you’ll be the most loving couple on the block.

1. “Every room has a mood or personality…and it is this that one desires to develop.”

2. “Make the husband happy, and the job is done.”

3. “Believe in optimism and plenty of white paint.”

4. “If you make a compromise — selecting something cheaper than what you really like — it compromises you, because you are never really happy with the result.”

5. “There is one fundamental fact about lighting: Where there is no light, there is no beauty.”

6. “You can never achieve anything in a house unless you have things that have been passed down and you find a place for them for yourself.”

7. “Crossing too many t’s and dotting too many i’s make a room look overdone and tiresome. One should create something that fires the imagination without overemphasis.”

8. “Love is essential to the decoration of a house….A room must say, ‘My love is here,’ or ‘My love has just left,’ or ‘I’m waiting for my love to arrive.’”

9. “Too often when we’re buying or building a house, we do not consider each room. We are carried away by one charming feature and are blind to details that will give us trouble later on.

The French Country kitchen style is everywhere, from celebrities homes to home improvement television shows, they are currently the ‘it’ kitchen style.   There is no wonder they are popular, the mixtures of relaxed, and worn finishes along with lighter tones of colors is appealing to anyone who enjoys spending time in their kitchen.  This style is reminiscent of a simpler country life, where artisans and laborers enjoyed their homes and the craftsmanship of exposed wood beams was common place.  Looking to achieve this look in your home? Here’s how to achieve the French Country kitchen style in your home.

CABINETRY: Worn surfaces with muted color themes are typical of the French Country kitchen.  Slight ornamentation and crown molding often adorns upper cabinets. Knotted pine and walnut wood cabinets are rich in textures but light in appearance. Darker woods and painted cabinetry can be combined with the lighter cabinets to give French Country style a modern edge.

Remember the old world styling of metal candelabras made from forged iron? Iron, brushed oil copper and metal with aged patinas are gorgeous when combined with copper hanging pots above a counter or sink.  Iron scroll imitation candelabras are popular in today’s high end furniture store catalogs.  To create centerpieces for the dining room table – use vintage wine bottles in various sizes and colors, coupled with fresh flowers to mimic the French Country way of entertaining and bringing people together.

FIREPLACES/HEARTHS: Who doesn’t love gathering around a roaring fire, or baking a pizza in an authentic brick oven?  Common in luxury French Country kitchens are fireplaces that can be used for ambiance, or to cook.  Many kitchens copy this styling by adding fume hoods and decorative brick/stone arches throughout the kitchen to give the feeling of the hearth around the space.  Mosaic tiles, and backsplashes behind the stove sometimes takes the same warmth cue – with having fireplace images hand painted on the tiles. Remember French Country, like other décor styles it is about evoking a familiar feeling of the traditional, simpler life and all the amenities that it offers.Freshome Reader’s, do you remember the Cottage Style décor featured last week? The French Country has similar qualities that make both styles so inviting.  Do you have either of these décor styles in your home?  What’s your favorite way to bring the feeling of relaxed living into your hom

If you are looking for a piece of furniture that can get lots of attention and also look good then take a look at Dylan Modern Leather Bed .. an amazing piece of furniture that has been created by Andrea Lucatello for Cattelan Italia. The bed appears to be floating in air, though it is supported by 4 legs just like any other bed. With extraordinary, innovative structure that gives the illusion of being suspended in air, Dylan Modern Leather Bed is an emblem of originality and a sign of exquisite taste.

Alessi is commonly known for their well structured, stainless steel pieces which includes their Blow Up collection; in which the form of the objects is created by the play of shapes and spaces generated by the steel rods put together almost at random.

I am head over heels over the new take on the Blow Up collection which features pieces made of hand-finished natural material; which to me resembles bits of driftwood and delicate twigs. Enjoy!!!

VerdeMalaquita doesn’t want to be called a “design studio”. Instead, they want to offer a more holistic approach to design than is traditionally found in a design studio, doing everything from the graphic sketches to the finished production. They are all about the message that a piece conveys, and they maintain this throughout the design process. They also have a green approach to furniture creation, publishing an eco-magazine for their clients. The above pictured Conducta represents VerdeMalaquita’s attempt to tame light and make it flow through tubing as if it were air. This stunning piece is organic and creative, and represents VerdeMaliquita’s approach to artistic creation.

Name: Shannon
Location: Brentwood — Los Angeles, California

My husband and I fell in love with the bright green door to our condo 6 years ago and immediately knew it was the home for us. It was an incredibly unique building in the incredibly traditional Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. As a stylist and interior designer, I am constantly using our home as my “canvas”; always experimenting with different looks, be it new wallpaper, art, furniture, color or fabric.
