deco candles

I don't even remember where I saw these candles (sorry!), but I snapped a quick pic because I loved them SO MUCH!  I love the shape... so Art Deco :)

Candles are great accessories.  Never underestimate how much they can dictate your personal style to others.  It's fine to use fancy candle holders with white, unscented pillars... but why not spice things up by making the candle the focus?  These are beauties and I'm so in love with them!

Arteriors Too!

I've used Arteriors Home as a source on many client projects in the past.  Love Love LOVE their home decor!  Designers will probably be familiar with their showroom the the World Trade Center, Dallas, but now they've set up shop on Lovers Lane as well... Arteriors Too... now open!  I absolutely can't wait to check it out the next time I'm in Dallas! 

closet update

Just sharing 2 quick pictures from my closet makeover. The first shows a few of my shoes and my scarves. I decided that I wanted my scarves displayed nicely and easily accessible. Accessories like these were easily lost in my closet before and I would forget what I owned. Now they are hanging right in front of me so it's impossible for me to forget about them. I've also tried to group my shoes into groups of like items. This makes it easier for me when remembering where each pair goes and helps me stay motivated to put my shoes back in the right place. I like things to look nice, so having some of my 'pretty items' displayed in my closet makes me happy and also shows off some of my more exciting pieces.


However nice your closet will look really depends on your storage solutions. After all, it's all about the space-saving techniques. Builder-grade closet built-ins usually give you a lot of hanging space and not a lot of shelf space. When faced with that problem, there are many options but I'm opting for easy and inexpensive (and therefore not permanent)... Just like hanging racks for shoes, hanging shirt/sweater shelves are available. I'm using this one for my plethora of t-shirts.


More to come... :)
