I have always been drawn to the sun-soaked, whimsical, glamour world of Rebecca de Ravenel. One part aristocrat, one part island child - her beautiful home in L.A. showcases her casually glamorous personality.

While her decor is beachy and casual, featuring rattan, block print textiles, and seagrass rugs, it is no surprise that the daughter of a french Marquis who’s apartment was deemed by Christie’s as “one of the most beautiful in Paris.”

I particularly love how she mixes textiles, vintage pieces, art, and objet to create an eclectic mix that is all her own. The result is a true testament of my favorite design saying “buy what you love and you will always find a home for it.”

For a glimpse of her previous home in L.A., click here to see the Domino spread — and her for her Greenwich Village apartment - click here for the Vogue feature “APT with LSD.”

I just listened to an interview with Kit Kemp on The Business of Home that got me thinking about color. Namely, about how color makes people happy! I have always been attracted to bold rooms and can in fact pinpoint my first leap into designing when I painted my bedroom a vibrant coral color right before I went abroad in college.

While you don’t want your home to feel like an acid trip as you move from room to room (or maybe you do??) — if you splash some brightness on the walls of specific rooms, the results are marvelous.

No one does this better than the Brits. I am always enthralled by the effect.
