It is all in the details. Having a home that is filled with interesting details and personal touches makes all the difference to your living space as well as your mood. Creating a specific vision in your mind when decorating your place will end in a result that reflects your personality and interests. If you take the time, you will be much happier with the results.

For example, I would paint everything metallic gold if possible. It's a horrible addiction. No dollar store shelf is safe from the wrath of my gold spray paint can. While I try to hold back on occasion - I would probably try to paint the walls gold if I could - you can still definitely see a trend in my design aesthetic.

I am perpetually destined to get distracted by beautiful things. I strive to make my life as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

I am still gradually, unwillingly pulled towards the potpourri of Pinterest boards and Tumblr posts tempting me to procrastinate and dream about the interior design of my future New York City apartment.

I think I could be happy living in a small box as long as it was decorated. MY decorated small box. Sounds nice. And small. And most likely realistic.

 I would love to be in a studio with HUGE open windows that reach floor to ceiling.

 I love pattern. If I could incorporate the use of color and pattern into my place, it would brighten my apartment.

 If all I have in my apartment is a bed, it better be comfortable and it better have a million pillows.

 It is all about the small details. Whether it be wallpaper or fresh flowers.

I love the look of the couch sitting at the foot of the bed and of course a MAGNIFICENT headboard.

One can only hope their apartment can be as colorful and vibrant as these.

What do you want in your future home?

I would like to think that interior design is the fashion of furniture. I picture furnishings wandering around the house, a la Beauty and the Beast, prancing about when the tenants are gone. Cabinets, dressers, couches and rugs, doing a dance around the coffee table that refuses to partake in the festivities. Each property fighting to be the 'standout' or the 'best dressed' at the party. In the end, bringing them all together, in fact, is what actually makes the party.

A quote from Elanor Lambert, founder of the International Best Dressed List, can be applied to both fashion AND interior design.

"TASTE IS A SHARPENED EYE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL, THE INTERESTING, AND THE UNUSUAL - COUPLED WITH THE TALENT TO APPLY ALL OF THESE TO ONE'S LIFE."

I decided to compile all of my favorite interior design ideas, themes and inspirations into one BIG design post. Please enjoy my favorite looks.

MY HANDPICKED FAVORITES:

I can't wait to one day have my own home to be able to decorate! 

Have a great Saturday!

There are few things I like more than Miranda Kerr; Miranda Kerr's husband, macaroni and cheese and Miranda Kerr's husband in character as Legolas from Lord of the Rings. That being said, my deep love for her beauty, Aussie accent and (I am sure) amazing parenting skills are astonishing. Breaching the boundaries of Victoria's Secret has always been a huge bound in her modeling career. She looks outstanding in Vogue Italia's October 2012 Issue. I can't get over the grungy black and white photographs and that fur jacket. I think she pulls of the blond haired, dark eye-brow incredibly well. I am very tempted to do the same.

What do you guys think of her hair?
