1. Don't dress like a dork.
2. Don't get excited about touristy things like red telephone booths.
3. Buy a better hand bag.
4. A crappy ponytail is not to be worn anywhere outside of a shower stall.
5. If you have no sense of fashion or interior design, find a friend who does. Then go shopping with her.
That is exactly what I did last week. My fabulous sister-in-law visited us and redecorated our living room in...get this...1 day flat. She makes decisions lightning fast and can spot fabulosity on a budget. Check this out:

This is a wall right outside our kitchen and facing the dining table. We can use it as an extra buffet table or to showcase our keepsakes. Pieces are from from IKEA, Pier 1 and TJ Maxx. One awesome tip I picked up from her is to find accessories at furniture showrooms!
This is the wall facing opposite the first picture. She made use of a lot of accessories we already had, such as the console table and all the accessories on the table. The wall piece is from Pier 1.
This dining table is between the walls shown on the first two pictures. The mirror is from TJ Maxx.
This is our main living area. We already had the furniture and most of the accessories in the built-in bookcases. Most of these items were simply rearranged. These accessories are from our travels, Pier 1, Ten Thousand Villages, and India.
We added a tall vase from Pier 1 in the corner, and placed some fillers in there.
I feel like I'm all of a sudden in the lobby of the W Hotel. I also clearly understood what style of decoration I really truly love. I always thought I was a fan contemporary, but what I really love is modern ethnic. I love pieces that have modern shapes, but the color palette, texture or print is warm and ethnic. Thanks for making our place so chic Fal! You need to go pro!
