It is no secret - I love monsters...only the cute ones. I don't know why. I just do. These delightful images are from Relleno de Mono. I am sharing them with you because they make me really happy.

Words of Wisdom
Sometimes when I'm having a rough day a good quote can make me feel much better. This quote from J.K. Rowling helped turn my day around. In case the font is too small - "It is impossible to live without failing at something - unless you live so cautiously that you might as well never have lived at all.."

new master suite
My parents just ripped up the carpet in their bedroom in exchange for some new wood floors. I know my Mom just bought a red rug. This is my design for their new master suite.
My parents are different in every single way. I gave them his and her chairs with very different personalities. Lets not forget the lovely red side table.
I couldn't decide between the red love seat or tan. I'm leaning toward the red. The side table is doubled up and used as a coffee table. The light fixture is a nice combination of old and new.

Who doesn't dream about winning the lottery? Well, I dream about it and then I dream about using the money to design spaces for my family members. I thought about what kind of bedroom I would give my brother. I want Michael's room to be masculine and casual. It needs to be clean and not too fussy. I want it to speak to his personality and reflect his hobbies.
This is a no-frills bed. The bedding is clean and the green bench at the foot of the bed adds a pop of color.
I like this modern desk. Michael is very tidy. I know he would keep this space clean. Michael has done a lot of traveling. This globe lamp is perfect for him. I love this lamp. I think he would too.
There is nothing that says beach casual like grass cloth wallpaper. I have a bit of a soft spot for it. The tree stump side table is the perfect accompaniment to the modern occasional chair. Michael loves camping with his friends and I think of sitting around the camp fire on tree stumps.
I imagine a big collage wall. It would look great backed by the grass cloth wallpaper. There would be an assortment of travel posters, personal photos, and interesting pieces like the impala horns.An antique American flag would hang over the bed. It is a cool piece of American history and a nod to his career as a Marine. The modern leather chair is so cool. What man doesn't want a leather chair in their space? The library sconces flank the bed.
The dresser and nightstands are from the same collection. I felt like there was so much going on in the space that a few cohesive items would be nice. I think my personal style is a little more eclectic than Michael's taste. I tried to reign it in a little.
