I posted about Iksel wallpaper, the Paris based company whose designs are influenced by Iznik and global design, a few years ago. Dimonah and Mehmet Iksel, the founders and owners, have “a unique and avant-garde digital image bank” of glorious and beautiful wallpapers and panels. Miles Redd used Iksel’s Eastern Eden wallpaper in this beautiful Brooklyn townhouse in his signature color, blue. Iksel wallpaper is not for the weakest of heart, is for those who want their homes to create an impact and leave an impression on those who visit. The aesthetic is in general global chic…

Seven Guilt-Free Indulgence You need To Do and Are Ok To Do
It’s ok to skip the playground for once and instead take him/her to a
fancy restaurant where he can learn cool and sophisticated words such as
‘Pappardelle’ and ‘Meunière’.
It’s ok to not get your manicure done one week and instead spend more
uninterrupted time with your loved ones. You can always get your nails
done any day but family time is priceless.
It’s ok to go back and rewrite one or two of your new-year
resolutions. More realistic and approachable goals will make you
happier and most importantly you get more results when you focus on the
day by day action when compared to a deadline.
It’s ok to say no because you simply don’t like the idea. Just remember to be nice.

It’s easy to recognize a warm and cozy home. Is that feeling of familiarity and honesty that invites you to stay longer, put up your feet while asking for more hot coco and praying you don’t have to leave ever again. That’s the feeling we all want in our homes notably because our homes are the best reflections of our real selves. Hence it would be practically impossible to have a warm heart and not have a warm home or vice-versa as it’s equally impossible to create fake characters of our home.
