This is gorgeous! Love the artwork, love the palette, love the accessories! There are so many glorious textures and finishes in this room, it really makes it so much more interesting and multidimensional. My fave so far!

Oh wow! The two ballet dancer pictures caught my eye, and then the rest of the room took my breath away!

Wow! I love this place. You've made the modern artwork and classic furniture work well together. Love the blue accents. Even the odd paint job on the wall looks fantastic! A very stylish yet homely home. Can we get a house tour? Please :)

Cakowalik, I believe "the two ballet dancer pictures" are of Leda and the Swan.

Ooooohhhh this is amazing! Eclectic, original, unique...bursting w/ interest, energy and fun but not in a jarring way. Not easy to pull off a mix like this. FAVE!! (house tour?) ;}
