OCDecorating -continued

As a continuation to my earlier post about how I’ve been obsessively and compulsively decorating ever since my recent move, my latest obsession has been how to make my living room more fab.  Lately I’ve been glued to my Brocade Home catalog and have been ravenously eating up the images on their blog.  Brocade home totally follows my design aesthetic and love of damask prints, with metallic accents, chandeliers and clean modern furniture mixed in with more ornate pieces.  I felt I had walked into heaven on earth when I found their new showroom in NYC.  If you haven’t been there yet, you must check it out.  Limelight (yes, the old church turned nightclub) in Chelsea is now the holiest shopping center in NY with boutiques inside a beautiful cathedral setting.  And best part about it is that it has a Brocade Home showroom!

The foil wallpaper is so glam, isn’t it?  I was thinking about putting a similar one behind my chocolate colored sectional and adding silver cushions.  During my online research, I ran into another fab decor and bedding company called Angelinas Curtains and Beddings. Their bedrooms are boudoir-like, there’s usually a chandelier in the bedroom and always some sparkle in the bedding.  Check these pics from their website out.  I would love any of these rooms!


Though they’re based in the UK, they do deliver worldwide!  What a collection huh?  Ok all this dreaming about fantasy bedrooms at midnight is getting me ve-ry sleeeeepy.  Time for bed so that I can dream about my new living room!

O-C-Decorating

I should be able to post more frequently soon now that I have finished my move and am almost done sorting through my 10years of accumulated belongings.  The moving in process is sort of cathartic in an OCD sort of way. I’m constantly obsessing about my new decorating plans while I compulsively buy my way through Bed Bath & Beyond, TJMaxx, online wholesalers and Century 21.  I spend my days editing out unwanted items from my past while carefully selecting what to highlight and project into my future.  Because of my love for organization and disdain for clutter I can’t simply dump a box’s contents into a drawer.  I take inventory of my belongings before systematically figuring out an orderly plan and display method.
Right now, my latest project is that shoe closet I once shamelessly revealed on my blog.  I’m painting it fuschia, my color of the moment and I’m literally waiting for the paint to dry before I celebrate by adding my Imelda Marcos-like stiletto collection.  Moving in, settling in and decorating is my labor of love.
