For the romantic ones, there are green, white, pink and tiny pieces of gray.
I’m a big fan of black and white checkered floor. They can transform any interior into a timeless classic beauty. Checkerboard floor or checker pattern dates back thousands of years as they started being used as a visual motif in many different ways from pottery to textiles, to ceramic to of course floors. It’s probably safe to say that the checkerboard pattern started as complex diamond patterns installed in intrinsically complicated ways that can date as back as A.D. 9. So the checkered floor comes from way back then as you can see, hence it’s more than timeless, it’s the real deal. Black and white checkered floor can be used in many types of home styles from painted floors found in more informal to stones or marble found in classic formal homes.

All women want or have ever wanted one. I”m referring to a vanity where to put and take of our make up. Some are lucky enough to reserve an entire room for it, called the dressing or make up room. Regardless of the space you have, either one of these options of vanities would look absolutely fabulous. And I am sure that we all look gorgeous in one of these fantastic spaces. Below are a few examples of how to emulate these rooms.
I just love this room designed by Charlotte Moss.
I like to customize everything I buy. Even if it is an Ikea kitchen cabinet. My husband is always asking me why I like to complicate things. Well, it’s not that I like to complicate, it’s just that I think that customized items and furniture are more exciting and special than those we purchase off the shelf. Customization doesn’t always have to be expensive or done by professionals. We can do it ourselves by upgrading little details that can make a huge difference. For example, I like this cozy kitchen corner display (top image) that usually only custom-made cabinets have. But we all can get this look easier than we think. I put together a sample board showing how this can be done. First, you need two or three open cabinets, you can do this by removing the doors. Then, cover the interior of the cabinet with a wood grain wallpaper, install the china plate display that you can get here. This display can be cut to fit any length of open space and it comes in different colors. Add a few hooks from the lower shelf ceiling and hang a few of these very cool cups. Add accessories to decorate and you are all set. Try to incorporate different textures and colors like colorful plates, small porcelain bowls, cast aluminum salt and peper, etc.
