Celebrity Bedrooms!!

The bedroom is our sanctuary. It's where we unwind, relax and lay our heads down at the end of the day. Now, I'm sure that celebrities do the same stuff in their bedrooms as we all do in ours but my bedroom is not quite on the same level of fabulous as some of these so I use these for inspiration!!

Jonathan Adler likes his room with yellow and lots of mirrors.

The Pairing of Green and Blue

Maybe the inspiration for this post came from my new green and blue flip flops? Maybe it was inspired by my recent gaze outside where all I see is green trees with the beautiful blue sky? Either way, green and blue together makes sense.

 I love that headboard

ColorFULL in New York!!

Color and cubism come together to create this eye popping Shelter Island home! Architects Stamberg Aferiat + Associates designed this house to blur the line between art and architecture. The obvious retro vibe inside and out also adds to the playfulness of the house. I know not everyone loves this much color (or even half this much color) but it's great to see a home that looks like it was a BLAST to create!
