[Private Access]: A Modern Family Home...











Photos by Gilles Trillard via Cote Maison

Stunning Residence! Modern and practical, so easy to live in, therefore suitable for family life...I am bringing this inspiration to you because I believe that all elements in this design can be reproduced in your own space, whether a house or an apartment. I love the color combo, the pinch of green  and the really trendy dark walls...

[Trends]: Dark walls for every room...








You probably noticed this up and coming trend of black and dark walls...I know you can find inspiration in many other blogs but I wanted to add my little personal touch by picking interiors that would reflect my style in some way...So here is a sample of dark walls in different styles for each room of the house, I hope you will enjoy...

This is a fabulous example of how interior design can change people's lives...I myself contributed to an amazing project on Long Island for a women's shelter that became a warm welcoming place thanks to the dedication and hard work of Nassau Community College interior design students and Professor...What a wonderful and rewarding experience!

Truth be told, I never used a cast iron pan. I have this preconceived notion that cast iron needs maintenance and is not easy to clean...but it's becoming so popular and I heard the food tastes much better so I will be trying very soon...to be continued!
