Who doesn't love a good DIY project? I recently bought a mustard yellow desk for my home office and as much as I'm a huge fan of the color yellow, this wasn't exactly the theme I was going for, and that finally gave me an opportunity to use the marble contact paper I had recently purchased. YAY.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The entire process is fairly easy, you just require a lot of patience. Although before I get into it, I want to clarify that the measurements of this particular contact paper didn't quite cover the entire top, however, I'm still happy with the end result because the desk has a little bit of character now! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>First and foremost you need to start by polishing the surface of your table/top to avoid a bumpy journey. </li>
<li>Measure the surface of your material using the grid at the back of the contact paper.</li>
<li>Cut the paper accordingly.</li>
<li>Place the paper on to the surface with the marble print facing upwards, and peel a tiny bit of the paper and place it on the edge of the surface. (Tip: if you can get someone else to help with you with this, then do so, because once it sticks, it can get a little bit tricky!)</li>
<li>Slowly peel, while smoothing the paper down by using the flexible smoothing tool and keep moving forward <i>slowly </i>until you reach the finish line.</li>
</ul>

As for my home office; I'm still working on it, therefore will reveal the final look much later. In the meantime, here are some pictures on how I created my 'not so fully' faux marble top!</div>

Situated above a museum adorned by stunning marble slabs, this contemporary Turkish restaurant designed by award winning Autoban Design offered more than just good food; the atmosphere was also spot on. We chose to sit outside, even though the weather wasn't exactly as friendly, but the view of the Bosphorus compensated quite a lot for the shakes and shudders, and the staff were kind enough to provide us with pashmina scarves. The interiors mostly consisted of natural oak, characterized by sinuous shapes and geometric patterns that produced that 60's aura. I was fairly impressed by the impact it gave, given the simplicity of the design. Well done Autoban!<br />

There's not enough I can say that will do this hotel any justice. It was by the far the best experience I've had to this day. Not to mention that it's situated in one of the most beautiful cities; Florence. Yes, even the sound of that word is an experience of its own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The St.Regis is an iconic hotel that captures the soul of Florence, it exudes history and warmth. You can't help but notice the breathtaking interiors the second you walk in, and what made it even more beautiful are the welcoming and friendly staff that escort you to the reception area, where you're surrounded by majestic chandeliers, gilt mirrors and coffered ceilings. You have no choice but to feel like royalty at this point. I'm happy to have been exposed to this historic beauty of a palace designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, and will most definitely go back for it one day.</div>

If you're looking for a little bit of inspiration for your nursery, then look no further because you've come to the right place, there's enough creativity packed in this blog post that it may be difficult for you to decide which color scheme or design you would like to go for. Or at least that's how I felt when I gathered up my top 8 nursery interiors (as of now). Take a look below to see what I'm talking about.</div>

I'm actually in the process of decluttering myself and thought to share the very simple 'rules' on how to tackle through the process without feeling constantly overwhelmed.<br />
<br />

First thing's first; pick a day and stick with it, because the more you procrastinate, the less likely it's going to happen.<br />
<br />
Secondly, pick an area and start from there. You shouldn't feel pressured to spend the entire day on it, as you eventually become frustrated and lose interest in completing the whole process. Take your time, and you'll get the best results.<br />
<br />
Lastly, you should have 3 different piles when decluttering; the 'trash' pile, 'donation' pile and the 'maybe' pile; for the pieces you're doubtful or hesitant about it. But wait, it doesn't end there. You need to make certain to take care of those piles immediately, because if you're anything like me (which I'm very ashamed to admit) it becomes a part of your home 'decor' over the long haul. And that's just never a good look, trust me.<br />
<br />
Below are very helpful questions found on <a href="http://lifeyourway.net/">lifeyourway.net</a> that you will need to ask yourself before you start on your mission. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Is this item something I use regularly?</li>
<li>If not, is it something I love?</li>
<li>Am I keeping this out of obligation or expectation?</li>
<li>Am I holding onto this because I think I should love it?</li>
<li>Am I saving this just in case?</li>
<li>Do I have multiples of the same thing?</li>
<li>Could something else I own do the same job?</li>
<li>Am I holding onto an broken item that I can fix one day?</li>
<li>Is this item worth the time I spend cleaning/storing it?</li>
<li>Could I use this space for something else?</li>
</ol>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm sure we're all huge fans of John Legend, but let's talk a little about his other half Chrissy Teigen, who's known for being outspoken, funny and most importantly relatable. She just tells it how it is and that's why we love her. And yes, I am speaking on behalf of everyone here. After coming across images of what they call home, I felt like it would just be unfair to keep to myself. The tour is definitely worth sharing and you're just about to find out why. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite area would have to be the kitchen; mainly because of the gorgeous color and material combination. I love the dark cabinetry designed by Don Stewart, and even more so the exceptionally beautiful brass stools by <a href="http://annakarlin.com/">Anna Karlin</a> that instantly catch your eye! </div>

<div>
Recently, I've been drawn into transforming affordable furniture into personalised pieces. And my very first experiment was with a laptop table that was purchased from IKEA not long ago. I initially wanted a custom console that would fit a certain area in our home, however, I eventually decided against it, mostly because the whole process was going to consume a lot of time, especially since I would have to sketch a design first! And as much as I would have loved to do that, I was running out of patience as that area was desperate to be occupied.</div>

The first thing we did was put aside the glass top to avoid any scratches or damages. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the paint process, however, you can either use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-1910830-Metallic-Spray-11-Ounce/dp/B000QD3GPW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465817696&sr=8-1&keywords=rustoleum+gold+spray+paint">Rustoleum Gold Spray Paint</a> or just regular car paint using a spray gun. I would advise spray painting the pieces before assembling them together for more of a tidier and finished look. You want to make sure you get every corner.<br />

You will need the following items:</div>

<li>A White Mug</li>
<li>Nail Polish (any kind will do)</li>

A console is definitely a piece of furniture you would want to invest in because it could be the only product in the room that could make a difference. Normally consoles are situated against a wall in a hallway, or in any empty space that is in desperate need to be occupied. And they're more of a decorative piece that don't exactly serve a particular purpose; therefore you can get pretty innovative with the design. Nevertheless, it should also complement the rest of your furniture items.<br />
<div>
I'm currently on the hunt for a lavish console and found quite a few that caught my attention.</div>

Develi (Turkish Cuisine) is the very first restaurant we dined in during our stay in Istanbul and was recommended by the concierge of our hotel, whom we are extremely thankful for, as it was overall a very pleasant experience; from customer service, to ambience, and most importantly food.<br />
I was blown away by the spectacular interiors the minute we walked in and was immediately inspired. We were greeted by the manager, who escorted us to our table and gave us a quick run through the menu. However, I simply couldn't resist and instantly stood up to take pictures of the space - yes, it was that beautiful.<br />
The restaurant was designed by <a href="http://space.com.tr/">Space Architects and Designers</a> and according to the manager, their goal was to generate a modern industrial feel; steering away from the typical traditional Turkish design. Although, I got a sense of Hollywood Regency/Art Deco with their choice of lighting, brass detailing and even style of furniture. The concept on the whole was pleasing to the eyes. Take a look at the images below.<br />

If there's one thing that frustrates me, it would be making the bed. Mostly because it involves stuffing the duvet cover. It's an exasperating experience <i>every </i>single<i> </i>time. You would think that I would learn to master the art given that I do it on a regular basis, but no. It just gets harder! I would pretty much need to get under the cover like a ghost to spread the duvet in its place to get it right. But it's all worth it in the end, because there's simply nothing better than sleeping in freshly laundered sheets. <div>

A post definitely worth blogging about, and I'm sure by the end of it, your jaw would drop just as hard as mine did. Figuratively speaking of course.<br />
I'm quite the fan of Ikea's products and I'm constantly checking their website for anything new or suitable enough for our home. And I was shocked at their latest reveal on how they showcase their goods through their catalogue. Believe it or not, but the majority of their images are produced on a computer. Yes, a computer. They conclude that it works out better for them as it is a lot more cost effective and eco-friendly. What a strategy huh? But not to worry, as they reassured us that they try the best they can to imitate the actual product they are selling. Take a look below at the digitally generated photos and share your thoughts on the matter.<br />

Buongiorno!<br />
<br />
I'm gathering up inspirational images on how to 'make an entrance' for a client's home that I'm super excited to present. And as you can see below; the color scheme here is quite neutral with a dash of black and gold accents. Quite understated to say the least, however, very sophisticated in style.<br />

One of the huge common mistakes that are made (by quite a lot of people) is being completely unaware of how to dress their windows the way they deserve to be dressed. And it's really not that hard. You just need to follow the general rules that I'm about to share with you; and you'll notice the difference a few small adjustments can make to the entire space. After all, we can't deny that it's the drapery that really makes a room feel complete!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I've put together a quick visual instruction on the very basic points on how NOT to hang drapery and will explain a little more in detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You don't have to fabricate drapery around the exact measurement of your windows, that's just a big no no. The following points are what you need to take into consideration to produce the ideal window treatment:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ol>
<li>Your curtain rod should be wider at least by 20cm on either side of the window. That also gives you the illusion of having bigger windows.</li>
<li>Your curtain rod should be much closer to the ceiling than to the top of your window. Your room will eventually look tall, and that works amazingly well with the smaller spaces.</li>
<li>The quantity of your fabric should be enough to generate the 'pleated' look. The last thing you would ever want is to look "penny-pinching" or ungenerous with your fabric. </li>
<li>The drapery should barely touch the floor. Now, this is normally a choice of preference; and my personal opinion is having it between too long and too short, which is also known as "The Float".</li>
<li>Lastly, don't forget to pick a fabric that matches the theme of your room in terms of style, color and material. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you find this post helpful. I'll be sharing various ways on how you can dress your windows in a different post. </div>

Here's an inspiration board I recently presented to a client, who is desperately looking to renovate their "beige" living room; and because they are on a tight budget, I included a few pieces from Ikea; like the Rattan side table that not only functions as a table, but also as storage! And we all know that it's something we simply cannot get enough of.<br />
I will be sharing before and after pictures right after the project is complete. Stay tuned!<br />

Marie Claire Maison {Italia} featured Oman as a potential luxury destination for this month's issue. They also included local talents that represent luxury brands in Oman within the article, and I am extremely honoured and overjoyed to be a part of it, along with other talented designers!<br />
The interview took place at the Bustan Palace; where they asked me a few questions about previous projects and my personal taste. And the photographs were taken in the majestic presidential suite by gifted Italian photographer <a href="http://www.matteocarassale.it/">Matteo Carassale</a>.<br />
Thank you Marie Claire, it truly is a privilege.<br />

I am currently on the hunt for unique wallpaper and just recently stumbled upon <a href="http://calicowallpaper.com/">Calico Wallpaper</a>, in which I am very grateful for, as they are beyond sensational and by far the most innovative wallpaper I have come across as of yet!<br />
The admiration mostly comes from their inspiration behind the designs; as they are produced by experimenting with different art forms after extensive research on the 'Arts of Suminagashi' (where paper marbling originates from) and with that, they managed to create a signature of their own. What makes it even more exceptional is the fact that the patterns presented are non repetitive.<br />

We recently moved into a townhouse, and I realised that I never shared images of our previous two bedroom apartment that we lived in for just a year and 2 months. I have to admit that I was rather flustered in the beginning, as I put a lot of energy and effort into the space and was far from ready to let go. Although, the part that did not sit well with me at first was discovering that my favorite wallpaper throughout the apartment has been discontinued! That being said, we were desperate for a much larger space and I am more than happy that we decided to make the move.<br />
My taste is somewhat eclectic, I am fan of mixing and matching different items and materials; at the same time preserving a specific flow. I also realised that I constantly gravitate towards neutral colors. Don't get me wrong, I love color too, but I prefer to have them in smaller doses.<br />
<br />
And now..The Tour:<br />
