Such a Pretty Idea
Mid-century modern vibe for the 2020’s!
Front Door Fantasy
We are entering a new buying season and I just want to encourage you to consider some things when you are looking to sell your home for the highest price.
One surefire way to get interest and have buyers knocking on your front door is to have a BEAUTIFUL front door. It doesn’t have to be expensive…it could just be painted a color that “pops” and peaks the interest of the prospective new homeowner.
People are buying more than a home…they are buying a fantasy and your front door could be the thing that makes the difference.
Think color and you’ll see some green! Just do it.
Chandelier Magic
Most of you who regularly read this blog know that I have a passion for chandeliers. My Mother was a lighting architect and put outrageous and stunning lighting in most of the Miami Beach hotels. I grew up loving sparkle, glitz and glamour.
A chandelier adds an elegant feature to a homeĀ and elevates the room from ordinary to extraordinary. This chandelier is calledĀ a French empire style design. It has that wow factor.
Empire style is a French 19th century design aesthetic that was defined by opulence and ornate touches. Fast forward to now and there is whole category of crystal and other material chandeliers that is considered a French Empire style chandelier. The silhouette is narrow at the top and then curves down into a bowl or cup shape at the bottom.
Eclectic Style
I love people who have a sense of style without a blueprint. In other words, they just put together things that they love and feel like “home.”

Bringing back the best of mid-century modern.
The retro look has become tremendously popular and I love it. This is the furniture of my youth and to be honest, it was very comfortable but not “homey.” I am seeing more and more of the younger generation opt for a clean, crisp look of Mid-century modern furniture with a reduction of cluttered living spaces. It’s pretty groovy.
