We came across this beautiful home by designer Alexandra Kaehler when we search some inspiration from internet. This is actually her own home. We love the sophisticated interiors with a livable vibe by bringing in colors, floral prints and amazing wallpaper. Here are some of our favorite highlights.

We came cross one of Jane Showers’ Dallas projects this morning and amazed how she was able to use mixing-and-matching approach to bring in freshness and interest while still keeping her signature style—classical, elegant, feminine and modern.
Here are several highlights which really drew us in:
1. Killer color palette of silky white and pink.
At this special time, most of us probably cannot travel far away to see and explore different cultures. But thanks to internet, we are able to virtually experience some of the most amazing exotic destinations to cope with life that is full of uncertainties. Today, we are going to share with you a beautiful Lebanon getaway that is our love at the first sight.
Located in in the mountains near Kfour, a village about 45 minutes north of Beirut, the Beit Trad guesthouse , a traditional Lebanese mountain home that Sarah Trad restored and converted into a guesthouse with the help of architect Fadlo Dagher and interior designer Maria Ousseimi welcomes guests with its Lebanese tradition of hospitality. The guest house also doubles as Sarah’s own personal retreat.
The home’s stone facade.
In the picture above, we love how sumptuous Rubelli velvet fabric and modern Saarinen table and chairs juxtaposes with old world vintage pieces such as an antique rug, a chandelier and wall prints. The mix of present and past always injects interest and personality to any space. What really draw us to this living room is its cheerful and fashion-forward red, plump and purple color palette which stands out from a white wall backdrop. What cannot be better to sit in a beautiful room with fresh flowers, a lot of books, artwork and vintage pieces and of course sunshine.
The table is set with Syrian glassware and vintage plates; the Lebanese pendant is original to the house.

In the above picture, we are really impressed by a Classic Blue tablecloth with vintage local prints serves as a canvas to showcase the delicate dinnerware and beautiful local roses. Different tasteful textiles on the dining chairs in similar color families add visual interest yet still stay cohesive. When things aren’t right in the world, wouldn’t be nice to just sit at a beautiful cozy table to take time to enjoy a meal or have a cup of tea?
Roses from the property’s garden.

The chair is vintage, and the table is from Artisans du Liban et d’Orient.

Who wouldn’t love to sit here to enjoy a breathtaking Mediterranean sunset view? A striped upholstered cushy lounge chair invites us to take a seat on it with a cocktail. The mood here is casual and relaxing.

Today, basketball icon Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were remembered at an emotional public tribute as thousands of mourners gathered at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. And several weeks ago , we visited LA Live square just as thousands others from the world to pay our tribute to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.
“When you make a choice and say, ‘Come hell or high water, I am going to be this,’ then you should not be surprised when you are that. It should not be something that is intoxicating or out of character because you have seen this moment for so long that … when that moment comes, of course it is here because it has been here the whole time, because it has been [in your mind] the whole time.”
“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great at whatever they want to do.”
“The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.”

One of the fun things we love to do at home is to sit around the dining table with candles on and soft music on at the end of the day. We feel we really need this to wind down each day and to get ready for a good-night sleep. we also love to put up a festive themed tabletop on each holiday since we celebrate almost every holiday as much as we can. Besides kitchen, a dining room is the place where people get together with families and friends for formal parties or casual gatherings all the time. So, the design of a dining room is really important for you to enjoy by yourself to the maximum and nourish your loving relationships. And you want this space to be unique and reflect your own personality and of course well designed. Today we are going to talk about 12 ways to devise a one-of-the-kind dining room.
1. Decide function first. Before you start the design process, you need to know how you would like to use this space—a formal dining or a casual gathers only? The way how you want to use the space will set the foundation for the design process.
Although the dining room is getting more casual and relaxed, still, most of home owners still want to make their dining room very formal with a big wow factor. If this the case, the striking artwork, unique wall-treatment, flooring, right light fixtures, one-of-the-kind furnishings and upscale custom furniture might be the options for you to consider. In this New Yorker Designer Alex Papachristidis designed dining room, the light-grey-colored hand-painted wallpaper is one of the key features for this stunning sumptuous dining room. Also the gilded Louis XVI dining chairs really stand out from the muted almost monogram color palette. The crystal chandelier, the gilded clock further emphosis the wow factor and luxury feel. So our suggestions here to crrate a formal dining room: invest in a good-quality dining table setting and choose furnishings to compliment the dining table setting.

2. Have a focal point.
The trick here is to make the table the center of attention, so that your guests are compelled to take a seat and dinner companions are the main focus. Once the table is situated, arrange all other furnishings and accessories so that they complement this focal point. Also read this article on tables-capes.

3. Gold bold with colors and surface treatments.
Unique colors and textures completely transform a space by creating interesting textures and surfaces in the major horizontal planes: the floor, the table, and the ceiling.
4. Mix and Match.
Mixing and matching furnishings, lighting, or artwork is a fun part to design your dining room. It often creates unexpected result and makes the style of the space timeless.
5. Always looking for custom furnishings.
We assume you want to have a dining room unlike any other. So please always look for custom furnishings. A one-of-a-kind table or unique chairs will help a dining room stand out. The custom, live-edge wood table is the focal point of this space

Finally, the world famous couple have opened doors to Architect Digest. Being honest with you, after I read the article, I looked at my desk and got rid of everything in front of me in 5 minutes. I guess that is the power of minimalism. Although I still couldn’t figure out how they make the space so pristine with their 4 kids, I love the whole white-on-white museum-like interiors. I feel how they did their current home is like they did it after a long long sought-after-thinking. Yes, let me put this way, the home looks very spiritual just like Kayne said it is a futuristic Belgian monastery thanks to design help from the famed Belgium designer Axel Vervoordt and Kayne’s own minimalism taste. Each room is just like a space with art installation. So, let’s take a look together.
The neutral color palette is the most effective way to create a soothing, relaxed home and serve as a backdrop for museum-level artwork. However, in order to make people look great under neutral shades, good lighting plays a critical factor.
You may notice there is no Jacuzzi in this pool. But don’t worry because Kayne said they wanted the whole pool as Jacuzzi. And the design idea is to let the kids sit on the stairs and just enjoy warm water with cheers. How do you like the idea?
When Axel started to work on this project, he said they did a lot of editing and they wanted to make each space purer and purer. I totally can relate to that. As you know we live in such a chaos environment, every time when we come back home, we want to come back to calmness. I don’t know about you, I always try to make everything organized before I leave the house. So when I come back home, I feel good.
In case you are inspired and interested in refreshing your home in such a similar way, we handpicked some product for you.
So you can tell the couple really keeps furniture and decor minimum. But with the fireplace, comfy chairs and white textures rug, the space is quite warm, inviting and intimate.

I have designed some modern interiors for my recent projects. People love SoCal’s airy vibes filled with natural lights. Meanwhile, they also would like to incorporate textures, geometric artworks, patterns, pops of color and earthy tones to create an inviting and warm atmosphere. For this San Gabriel modern home project we did, we add a smoke glass chandelier with a brass stem, several sky blue-pink -background geometric artworks, a grey velvet pouf, an oversized blush tufted square ottoman to bring a healthy dose of warmth , interest and depth to the space while we e keep the original motif-patterned Moroccan rug and brown leather swivel chair. Also, two elegant silver-leafed side tables we placed by the mid-century low-back sectional elevate the space with sophistication and luxury. So the end result is airy, light yet warm, modern, clean yet glamorous.

It might be a little bit late to post our Holiday ShowHouse 2018–2019. But come on, it’s still Jan of 2019 and Chinese New year is coming. So it’s time to be festive and it’s time to celebrate.
The inspiration of our Holiday ShowHouse 2018—2019 is inspired by Pantone Color of the Year 2019–Live Coral—fashionable, bold, youthful, energetic and innovative. After several years of muted color palettes, millennium pink and grey, we feel it is time to break through to celebrate holidays with something fresh. Therefore, we are able to stay prospective for the future. Meanwhiles, Holidays are truly about traditions. We mix and match traditions with modern, Live Coral with vintage pink, emerald green with hot pink, camel with purple, Chinoiserie accessories with minimalism furniture, geometric patterns with classic forms and fine crystals with organic ceramic. The end result of this year’s holiday show house decoration is fun, edgy, playful yet still elegant and sort of traditional. Enjoy!
