Beautiful spaces are a combination of colors, interesting art, unique items of expression that truly capture the personality of the person living there.  Whether it is a family photo that draws you in, a beautiful ceramic that you stumbled on, or better yet you or your kid made it . . . those are all things that are treasures in any room.  If eyes are the windows to the soul, rooms in your home are truly insight into your creativity and personality.

A dear friend, recently featured in Sunset magazine has a bungalow in L.A. that is full of carved African heads.  While she has clearly been on a binge filling her home with these amazing artifacts -- it works perfectly because they each add a layer of a greater story -- one that has touched her heart, and with her talented eye and amazing taste, she has created a truly stunning display that despite the large size of the collection, is not at all overwhelming or cluttery.  Finding a balance of order yet honoring an eclectic taste always creates the most interesting spaces.  No offense to some our favorite sources for affordable, stylish objects that you can find at local retailers or national chains, there is something incredibly appealing about a truly unique item.
