Long Interirors</a>. The color palette is ideal for a bedroom—a mix of soothing neutrals mixed with a pop of coral and a hint of blue. All of the chic furniture selected for the space has clean lines with a slightly modern edge fitting into the “new traditional” aesthetic so many of us love. I really love the series of convex mirrors above the headboard as well as the show-stealing brass Sputnik chandelier.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13MvBh7-9qMLmdZiHaHys5g0QCVROEKYzz6hYENJv8AR4b1luYzcIdr3irFzsbxQ09YgDvWTYT5ngSshhDlO0okqaZO18RUMx4ryhw71sz_OYxDnOLlcopazN4On1xuOyRvCd2WbXyYmv/s1600-h/image%25255B16%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI20sLvmt_88g5ztryU1arXzjQ_VCMK8KUEmAG_tTMbZvW0k24u7e-2xBFny_K6fuuuPbNQq8gut6toZ09kwabGj9WtoHzfzrvtGYrIHhRWoWuFu3oEO-DXqDrAWljAvzLVOep834WGkOQ/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="625" /></a><br /><div align="left">I love the use of a bench at the end of the bed.

The teal is carried into the fabulous lining of the beautiful built-ins next to the bed with the use of a gorgeous seagrass wallcovering, bringing texture to the space. This bedroom is polished and sophisticated with a few interesting items mixed in to give it a fresh vibe.

I love the combination of the simple, Swedish-style furniture paired with a bold leopard pillow, zebra rug, and beautiful orchid. The Fiddleleaf Fig adds texture and color to the space. I would love to see more of this place! I would probably use a few different accessories on the little table, but overall, this is a pretty stunning vignette. Would you ever dare to use two animal prints in one room? Conceptually, two animal prints could easily venture into Snooki territory, but they really make it work with the use of a neutral palette and clean, classic shapes here. What are your thoughts? Do you like this space?</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">{Image via <a href="http://pinterest.com/ladolcevitablog/">Pinterest</a>}</p>

Beautifully Organized: Bracelets

Hello my dears! Arianna here of <a href="http://ariannabelle.com">Arianna Belle Organized Interiors</a>, back with more ideas for getting your home <a href="http://paloma81.blogspot.com/search?q=beautifully+organized+arianna&max-results=20&by-date=true">beautifully organized</a>. In a <a href="http://paloma81.blogspot.com/2011/10/beautifully-organized-hanging-earrings.html">previous post</a>, I shared ideas on <a href="http://paloma81.blogspot.com/2011/10/beautifully-organized-hanging-earrings.html">how to organize your earrings</a>, and today I want to share a few ideas for organizing another category of jewelry - bracelets - including everything else we wear on our wrists like watches and bangles. A good option for those who like to have things put away out of sight, is to dedicate a portion of a drawer to them and use <a href="http://rstyle.me/eu588ac75e">organizers</a> to keep things separated and neat. <a href="http://rstyle.me/eu588ac75e">Clear acrylic ones</a> always look nice. Remember to measure before buying! <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets1-AriannaBelle.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2844" height="564" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets1-AriannaBelle.jpg" title="BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets1-AriannaBelle" width="600" /></a> <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets2-AriannaBelle.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2845" height="643" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets2-AriannaBelle.jpg" title="BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets2-AriannaBelle" width="600" /></a> For those who are more visually oriented (right-brained!) and prefer to have things out, trays are great for corralling pieces and keeping surfaces from looking like a cluttered mess. <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets3-AriannaBelle.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2846" height="450" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets3-AriannaBelle.jpg" title="BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets3-AriannaBelle" width="600" /></a> Another option is to hang them on a jewelry tree, which makes for a lovely display. <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets4-AriannaBelle.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2847" height="451" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets4-AriannaBelle.jpg" title="BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets4-AriannaBelle" width="600" /></a> Last but not least, a fun option is a keep them in pretty vintage cups. Look for ones with a wide enough mouth to fit the width of your pieces. <h6><a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets5-AriannaBelle.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2848" height="398" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets5-AriannaBelle.jpg" title="BeautifullyOrganized-Bracelets5-AriannaBelle" width="598" /></a></h6> Hope this post inspired some ideas for your own home!

While Stanley continues to craft looks that top the “Best Dressed Lists” at every major event, she has more recently made a name for herself as an interior designer. Using the same keen eye and fabulous sense of style that has made her an incredibly successful stylist, she eventually found friends, family, and clients asking her to extend her services into their homes, transforming them into chic, one of a kind spaces reflective of the owner’s personalities and interests. The Southern California native has taken a very individualistic approach to her work and says she does not have a signature look, but instead works closely with each client to help them hone a look that truly reflects their own inner style. <br /><br /><img alt="Pinned Image" src="http://media-cache2.pinterest.com/upload/178877416419101093_SuVoj60E_c.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /><br /><div align="center">{It’s hard to choose a favorite space designed by <a href="http://www.esteestanley.com/">Estee</a>, but this one is mine.

I just got back from Antwerp – it was my first time there and things that I saw there I am now using in a lot of my designs.<br /><strong>LDV:</strong> Do you like to mix in fashion references or influences when you are designing a space?<br /><strong>ES:</strong> Definitely – when I’m designing a home that has more of a colorful palette, I get more inspiration from my favorite fashion designers, Giambattista Valli and Dries Van Noten. If I am designing a more neutral space, I look more toward Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row. <br /><br /><br /><img alt="<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>It's Oscar de la Renta and it was one of my dresses that I was going to wear to my wedding but ended up not.

For me, everyone has their own individual style, and that should be reflected in their living spaces. There are no formulas to my designs – every project is based on who my client is. I like to hang out with my client for a few weeks before I can form my interpretation of them.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="Pinned Image" src="http://media-cache7.pinterest.com/upload/254101603945025484_GvUWpXwV_c.jpg" /><br /><div align="center">{California Casual meets Parisian Chic in this Kitchen Designed by <a href="http://www.esteestanley.com/">Estee Stanley</a>}<br /><br /></div><strong>LDV:</strong> Has living in Los Angeles influenced your design sensibility or personal sense of style?<br /><strong>ES:</strong> I definitely think it has helped me to have a more laid-back approach, and it has helped me incorporate that into every room of people’s homes in some way.

I grew up in the 80s, where everything was a trend, and my style has matured a lot since that era. I like styles that are long-lasting and classic. I don’t want my clients to feel they have to change their décor every time a trend pops up.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_UGxLHQgJXapzqz1Tcw6fKFrYt0XUrdKo6ciyfE_0LDUaBqRDUj9suH9q240vfac7P5UhVQONWzRLnoePNxawP4ZEVDArf3gKQzywDxY7mvkxM9Tw4JLV6l69XCwWHnd1q6qjEwMKpdU/s1600-h/Malibu11%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Malibu11" border="0" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiphftoNd3pPh_3hNbQk7dyhtlv_MXJzZMg7OT6_BUmfbmsjUKLI7xNrB7buEIFWTeAS11r-VW9FCznCIFd6l-dGzDmO93PZuWRtlg40X3ysDOxzZfvyw_4EyfDa6eHWCKwosu2ivssO8jP/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Malibu11" width="562" /></a><br /><div align="center">{A Recent Design Project in Malibu—The neutral color palette is perfect for the beach!}<br /><br /></div><strong>LDV:</strong> If someone can only splurge on one big ticket item for their home or wardrobe, what should they spend their money on?<br /><strong>ES:</strong> Something that no one else has – search for that major piece that is one of a kind. Or if the piece is similar to something a lot of people own, look for that piece with a unique twist. For example, my dining table is basically a big slab of wood, and a lot of people have that style table. But I did a different kind of finish on my wood so it turned a more purple-grey, which I love.

Dream Home: Jessica Buckley

  Today’s “Dream Home” comes from the mind of U.K.-based, Jessica Buckley, of <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/category/latest-news/">Jessica Buckley Interiors</a>. Enjoy!<a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Screen-Shot-2012-03-20-at-12.18.221.png"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1549" height="383" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Screen-Shot-2012-03-20-at-12.18.221.png" title="" width="620" /></a>Hello & good morning from Edinburgh! I've been reading La Dolce Vita for years now & always love reading guest posts for Paloma's infamous Dream Home series.... looking back over all the previous entries is like a hall of fame for designers and design bloggers so it's a real thrill to be part of it! So shall I show you around my dream home? Come on in.... First off, here's my dream house; a Georgian town house right in the centre of town with a fabulous front door to welcome you: <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/10344274113605560_buu0cHhH_f.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1519" height="371" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/10344274113605560_buu0cHhH_f.jpg" title="via Pinterest" width="554" /></a> The entry hall would be a taste for what's to come: classic architectural features and a stunning parquet floor, with lots of art & personal touches. I love a bench seat in a hall way too. <p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/11_4_10_AndyKateSpadeE44769.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1475" height="412" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/11_4_10_AndyKateSpadeE44769.jpg" title="Andy & Kate Spade via theselby" width="620" /></a></p> Everyone usually heads straight to the kitchen, so come on through & I'll make some coffee/margaritas. <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/284852745150809899_GEhRhnK4_c.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1478" height="700" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/284852745150809899_GEhRhnK4_c.jpg" title="via Pinterest" width="458" /></a> <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/279575089337916311_GYwV2Yhg_f.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1539" height="640" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/279575089337916311_GYwV2Yhg_f.jpg" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="via Pinterest" width="443" /></a> The banquette seating & tulip table in the window is the perfect spot to have breakfast on a morning when it's sunny & bright: <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/white-kitchen-table-breakfast-nook-l.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1529" height="400" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/white-kitchen-table-breakfast-nook-l.jpg" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Southern Living" width="400" /></a> <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/60517188712288446_9DOizdgO_f.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1528" height="400" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/60517188712288446_9DOizdgO_f.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Southern Living" width="400" /></a> Or a late night supper <em>a deux</em> in the evening: <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Kara-Mann.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1526" height="493" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Kara-Mann.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Kara Mann" width="435" /></a> There's a great little butler's pantry where I stash all my favourite table linen & china: <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/44613852528518251_xFliXCaN_f.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1537" height="605" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/44613852528518251_xFliXCaN_f.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="via Pinterest" width="470" /></a> <a href="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/via-The-Lady.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1538" height="598" src="http://jessicabuckley.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/via-The-Lady.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="via The Lady" width="520" /></a> The dining room is dramatic - navy grasscloth on the walls with crisp white trims, brass light fittings, stunning dark wood floors and a silk carpet underfoot.
