Emily Ruddo of Armonia Decors

Emily was featured in the newest edition of High Gloss Magazine.  I love her design aesthetic and her use of color.  She has a wonderful way of blending East and West Coast styles.  What an awesome designer - surely destined to go far!

Pink chairs in the dining room!!!

I love the ikat fabric on the armchairs.

 

I knew I should've picked up that pink coral at HomeGoods!

Of course, I love this bookshelf.

Beautiful turquoise.

 I love the zebra print matting in these mirrored frames.

How about that chandelier!!!  Gorgeous!

A ton of fresh flowers in every room

And a little orange, as if she hadn't won my heart already.

These walls remind me of the Caribbean Sea.

Great texture on the walls here.

Another bookshelf.  Love.  Especially those mirrored doors!!

I really like the natural shades here - it really warms the room.

Ready for a party!

OOOOH - I wonder what these lovely beverages are. . . . .

Books!!!

AAAAAAHHHHH

Check out the rest of Emily's Portfolio!

Yay!!!

Big thanks to Louise from Table Tonic for including The Pink Elephant in her list of bookmark-worthy sites!

Decorating With Books

Being a book lover, my house is always full of books.  I love seeing books in every room of the house and have found a way to incorporate them in the decor of just about every room.

This bookshelf is in our bedroom and also happens to be my "catchall".  Even though its messy, I still love it.  Everything looks better with books as a backdrop.   Right?

Hysterical!

Thanks Megan, for the alert!

And that’s why you should learn to pick your battles.
