Inspiration & Translation: Betseyville

Another person who loves bright, crazy colors as much as I do is Betsey Johnson. Her house in Mexico was the inspiration behind the renovation of the garage apartment at my Moms house in Houston

While this design was a less literal interpretation, Betsey definitely pushed us to re-imagine the way we use bright colors in a space.

Often times in decorating I find that as much as you plan out a space, the things you find when searching for the "perfect" fabric can often steer you in a different, and altogether more fabulous, direction. 

In the case of my apartment in Houston, this gorgeous Clarence House fabric totally made the room happen.

And as always, this amazing renovation (I only wish I had the before photos, they are truly unbelievable) was a "collaboration" between myself and Lori Trahan Doran...And by collaboration I mean she completely rocked it and I learned along the way.
