by Naveen S.Leave a CommentWhen I start thinking about the kind of outdoor space that I’d want for myself, it would look a lot like what Jennifer has done in her home. Her ability to extend the stylishness of her indoor living space into the outdoors is truly inspiring. I never imagined this type of compound house to look quite like...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentA friend from Riyadh, Sarrah, recently redesigned and redecorated her children’s bedroom, and sent me pictures and info on how she did it! It’s so cute that I couldn’t resist sharing 🙂 She has 6 year old twins – a boy and a girl – so designing around both of their needs seems like it...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentI love Seema’s approach to styling her home. She’s not afraid to use bold colors, she buys what she loves, and to top it all off, she seems to be a master at mixing and matching colors and patterns! The other thing that I simply adore about her style is that she has a way...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentWhen I first walked into Zainab’s home, I knew straight away that this was a girl with a really good eye, and she definitely wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of making her home super stylish and comfortable. She had not only done what we all normally do (paint, decorate with accessories, bring in some...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentJustine’s home and outdoor living spaces are ALL heart. Everything she loves is in there. You can clearly see that each item has been picked for the space because she loves it – not just because it looks pretty or suits the aesthetics of her home. Her furniture is eclectic and unique, but still feels so comfortable. She...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentEver wonder how a real interior designer would set up a home here? Well, you’re in for a treat! I met Rilia through my friend Zaza, the one with the awesome shabby chic home that I covered a few weeks ago. Rilia is Zaza’s next door neighbor, and while they have houses that look the same from the outside,...
by Naveen S.2 CommentsWhen I think shabby chic, I pretty much think of Zaza’s home now. I originally saw her home and creative ideas on Instagram, and knew immediately that she had that very unique skill of being able to make the most ordinary things look extra special. Her Instagram feed is one of my favorites because of how pretty she makes...
by Naveen S.2 CommentsI’ve often found it difficult to imagine how one tastefully incorporates Halloween décor into their home. I’ve always seen great fall décor items, but I don’t see witches, ghosts, skeletons and just the combination of black and orange, in general, working in my home… However, I do happen to have a wonderfully stylish friend who seems to totally get...
by Naveen S.2 CommentsThis home is the definition of my obsession with Pinterest and why it can be such an amazing source of inspiration. This particular homeowner is pretty much a home decorating blog and pinning junky like me, so it was great to be able to see how a DIYer translates projects, by Western bloggers who shop at Lowe’s and Home...
by Naveen S.3 CommentsTeresa moved to Dhahran from Los Angeles about 4 years ago with a half a container full of household items and a few pieces of furniture for her new abode. While that’s not really a lot of stuff for a family of four, Teresa wanted to bring the essentials so that she could fill in the rest...
by Naveen S.5 CommentsA couple of weeks ago, I attended the Dhahran Garden Group’s annual Home & Garden Tour – an amazing showcase of some of the homes and gardens that we have here in Dhahran! What I love about this event is that you get to see a lot of the same types of houses in the compound, done...
by Naveen S.7 CommentsI love Erlina’s home. It’s trendy, stylish, comfortable, and is made up of my current favorite colors in the world – grays, blues and whites. Clearly, the Kim family and I are on the same wavelength… But what I really love is the way that Erlina and her husband have used creative and inexpensive ideas to infuse oodles of character into their home....
