Kelly Wearstler's Home for Sale......(Via Made By Girl)

Did you know that Designer Kelly Wearstler's Mansion is on the market??

I love how ShelterPop said it best...and I quote, "If you have $46 million dollars and love animal prints, this one's for you." Her mansion is situated in Beverly Hills, California (of course). She purchased the property with her husband about 5 years ago for ONLY $25 million , well not only....but now she's going to profit a good chunk of change. Good job Kelly! Below is a glimpse of Kelly's 11,000+ sq. foot home, enjoy!

A "WOW" home in Malaysia...

Whenever I think of Malaysia, I don't often think of gorgeous homes....instead I think of beautiful beaches and vacation getaways.  So, when I came across this home via the New York Times I was taken aback! I am also really impressed by the artwork as well as the furniture within this apartment...and I bet the view from that balcony is breathtaking. The owners of this condo are quite fortunate indeed! 
 
Does anyone out there live in Malaysia? or stayed in a gorgeous place in Malaysia? Let us know what your experience has been like there?

Interior Designer Palmer Weiss.....

Meet San Francisco Interior Designer Palmer Weiss. Her designs are functional & beautiful, exactly what a home should be.  I have always FANTASIZED of what it would be like to hire someone like Palmer to design my next home. What is the process? How much would the services run? Would I be happy with the outcome? 

I tend to think I have a pretty good sense of style, but I know that Interior Designers know all about symmetry, colors, & so much more.....I wonder what MY HOME would look if I left it up to a designer. Palmer work is fun & modern, more of what I'd like to incorporate in my own home someday!  

Have you ever hired an Interior Designer or Decorator for your home? If so, what was your experience like?

Ok, so I don't need a 'MARIAH CLOSET"...

But.... it would be nice to open my closet door & see a shelf that fits everything! My wardrobe, shoe-shelf needs help! I've been looking at some closets online and was amazed by Mariah Carey's HUGE closet room! But......come on! There is no way I could even fit my shoes into a space that large!  I thought I had a lot of shoes....obviously not!  My closet is the frumpy one below.  Do you notice the awful shelving?  There you'll see some of my shoes, (it came built-in with the house when we bought it). This shelf will NOT fit all my shoes, it's made in such a way that most of my high heels don't even stay, they fall off!  So, the rest of my shoes are on the floor.....all my boots & heels, on the FLOOR! 

 Like most women, I take over the largest closet (usually in the master bedroom) & make it my own! My poor husband, he usually ends up with the hall closet or the guest bedroom closet! Sorry!

Do you have a shoe-shelf in your closet? Do you share your closet with your guy? How do you like it??

Here is a list of what my dream closet would consist of:

• a mirror
• recessed lighting or chandelier
  
• a beautifully upholstered ottoman to sit on
• useful shelving for shoes
• a large drawer just for my jewelry
• fresh flowers
• OH & an entire room would be nice!
