BLACK, WHITE AND SOMETIMES GOLD

Black is by definition the most elegant color, add in its counterpart white, sprinkle a little gold and you've got a winning combination.  Nothing packs a more powerful punch than this bold color combination, whether it's for interior design or fashion and style.  It is also a versatile combination as it works well with other colors, such as brights, muted colors or neutrals.  To me, black, white and gold is exotic, sexy and glamorous.

Rose Gold is definitely having a moment right now, and I am totally in love.  It's cropping up in many areas of design - fashion, jewelry and home design. Nothing says glamorous like a few rose gold home decor accessories to brighten a room.

My favorite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity.  I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities. - Mario Testino

BUSTED

Bust sculptures have been around for centuries, often placed in traditional and classic settings.  The idea of a bust as decor is reminiscent of references to historical nobility.  Historically, the bust was the customary form of portraiture in many civilizations.  Throughout the centuries, sculptural busts have been molded from many substances including bronze, limestone, alabaster, wood, stone, precious metals and glazed earthenware.    

I purchased my first bust years ago, placed it on my dining room sideboard and haven't moved it since.  The bust certainly commands attention, adding volume and giving the surface a focal point. 

The sculptural bust provides old world charm and adds an intriguing element when included in a space.  Most people associate the bust with "stuffy and formal", however pairing this classical element with modern pieces makes a perfect marriage.  Bust sculptures add character and a sense of immortality.  The ageless appeal of the sculptural bust will always live on.
