Weekend Vibes

Working hours are over and it's FINALLY the weekend! Not that I have anything special planned for it, but I will definitely make sure it's a slothful one tomorrow; and as lazy as that makes me sound I desperately need it, especially after taking a look at the image below, tis the epitome of comfort. You know you want that.

The Ripple Effect

I have never come across a concept that I found emotionally stimulating such as this. You have to watch the video in order to understand and possibly share the same experience. But first, let me explain...
The Ripple Effect is derived from jagged glass domes that come in two different styles with halogen lights and a brass base, the smaller domes shine through the bigger domes producing the imitation of water movement as they slowly rotate, and due to their uneven shape they generate different kinds of light and shadow effects, making the space even more striking at every turn!

Celebrity Homes: Cameron Diaz

I have always envied the actress for her joyful personality, amazingly toned legs, endearing laugh and even more so now for her striking NYC apartment. I have to admit that I was slightly surprised when I was going through the images as I never really expected to find it as alluring as it is, only because I had the impression that she was more of a tomboy than a 'glitz and glam' kinda girl; although she did reveal that she has a soft spot for "shiny and sparkly things" due to her Cuban roots.
What captured most of my attention are the metallic pieces beautifully circulated within the space, exclusively the guest toilet! The combination of onyx and brass is undeniably captivating to the eyes, don't you think?
The entire space has an assortment of soft and dark hues, the living room is more of a neutral palette that emanates Hollywood serenity, whereas the kitchen produces a different kind of energy using the glorious emerald green for the cabinets and gold for the backsplash.
You have to acknowledge that it isn't easy combining two different palettes and making it work, thus, I solute the Queen of California design Kelly Wearstler, as always for managing to produce yet another gorgeous home.

The heavenly guest toilet.
