Zebra Print Rug

Zebra Print Rug Zebra Rug

Black and white is the ultimate contrast.  That is why the zebra print rugs are so fantastic; they are punchy without using an actual “color”.   They start as low as $269 for a stenciled Zebra print on cowhide.  The zebra print black and white adds a bit of umph to this beautiful gallery-like private residence designed by Burdifilek.

Black and White Damask Wallpaper

Black and White Damask Wallpaper

I love damask, and black and white, so this wallpaper has got my attention.  The wallpaper graphic is a large pattern and has a pattern repeat of 27”, which means it would make a big statement on your wall.  What statement you ask, well, something on the line of “Yes, thank you, I do have GREAT taste”.  Outspoken? –No, just bold and fabulous. Style: BC1581410 by Design by Color.

Pink Chaise by Laurel Crown

Hot Pink Chaise 

My, my, my, did it get hot in here or is it just me? Hmmm, it might just be the hot vibes from this hot pink chaise by Laurel Crown Furniture.  If you are a fan and would consider going this daring albeit fabulous route, you must be careful and pair this one of a kind with some black (or white) and neutral tones.   No need to paint a red accent wall in this room.

Would you love a punch of color, but have a hard time committing to a new hue to cover your vanilla walls? I will meet you half way with the Floral Flock Wall Stickers by StickyUps.

There really isn’t a better way to get wall graphics with such clean lines and consistency- much better than hand-painting.

The g Hotel

the g Hotel Pink Salon by Treacy

The g, the flagship of the Monogram Hotel Group, is a smashing design that would delight any traveler.  Designed by Galway native and hat-designer extraordinaire, Philip Treacy; every room is an art show in true form.  The Pink Salon is what originally drew my attention; the hypnotizing vortex patterned carpet, the hot-bikini pink on the walls, and the Andy Warhol-print chairs.  As hot and flirty as the Pink Salon radiates, just see how cool and aloof the Grand Salon is….

Symmetry by David Wade

Symmetry Book by David Wade

As much of interest to mathematicians as it is to artists, as relevant to physics as to architecture; symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world. Illustrated with old engravings and original work by the author, this book moves from church windows and mirror reflections to the deepest ideas of hidden symmetries in physics and geometry, music and the arts, left- and right-handedness. Symmetry: The Ordering Principle (Wooden Books)

Fun Library

Cave bookshelf for Fun Library Bookshelf Chair

The Cave Bookshelf by Sakura Adachi is an amazing and fun design for any bookworm.  Aptly named, the reader may read surrounded and enclosed by his/ or her beloved books in the cavernous cushioned “chair”.  It may also serve as a partition since books can be stored on either side.
