    Modern Marie Antoinette inspiration

    Posted in: Design personalities

    This is far overdue.

    I’ve been so busy with my label and design clients the last few months, so unfortunately the personality section on LiveLikeYou has fallen behind schedule.  I love is designing rooms to suit outside the box personalities. I’m finally in the process of working on perhaps my all time favorite look -- MODERN MARIE ANTOINETTE!

    I’ve always had  fascination with the the time period Marie Antoinette lived in, and as a teenager I walked through Versailles and La Trianon in awe and wonder. So I’m so intrigued by imagining a modern take on her over the top interiors.  I just watched Sofia Coppola’s film about her last weekend for the third time.  It’s crazy delicious, it’s the best cinema eye candy around. If you haven’t seen it, do it, any design lover will go nuts over it!! Here are some images from the film and other Marie Antoinette inspiration.

    Hope you enjoyed!

    A new look….Hawaiian Regency?

    Posted in: Beach House, Design personalities

    So it’s time again…for a new look on Live Like You. I’ve been looking forward to this one.  ALOHA CHIC launches next Thursday March 15th! It’s making me realize that if you mix HOLLYWOOD REGENCY with a COLORFUL  HAWAIIAN ISLAND LOOK you get HAWAIIAN REGENCY?

    I love tropical islands, I love color, I love Hollywood Regency, I love Lily Pulitzer, I love surfing, I love Katherine Rally fabrics, I love Lily Pulitzer, and I love the retro vibe of Florence Broadhurst.  All of the above inspires me. A lot.

    Really my next house might just be Aloha Chic.

    (The typo above is not in e-blast)

    In the foyer we have this adorable chair by Liv-chic.

    Hooded Pink Chair.

    And OF COURSE Aloha chic would not be complete without some amazing new large paintings by artist Erica Eriksdotter.

    Stately yellow lamp

    Chinoaserie stool

    Florence Broadhurst Japanese bamboo wallpaper.

    Turquoise coffee table, and many more colors.

    Katherine Rally fabrics.

    And last but not least, love this inspiration image of Lily Pulitzer,  that sums up the look.

    There are just so many talented creative people out there, who brings us all so much beauty, joy and inspiration.
