Inside Heidi Merrick's Los Angeles Home

Heidi Merrick's home radiates charm and creativity. The LA based fashion designer furnished and tied together her home with a mix of antiques, pops of color, modern twists, mismatched rugs, and gold accents to give her home an unique aesthetic appeal. Love, love, love!

Passion Decor

I'm always perusing pinterest, blogs, and tumblrs for decor inspiration. My apartment feels like a giant project as my roommate and I are always adding new details to spruce up a room or even just a corner of a room. I recently stumbled upon the tumble Passion Decor - it was love at first sight. The girl behind the tumblr has similar taste to me in a handful of ways. Below are some highlights...

Covetable Coffee Table Books

The quickest way to freshen up a living space, a corner of a room, or a bedside table is to pick up a new coffee table book. Coffee table books complete any and every living space and are, in my opinion, one of the most interesting collections to have. My collection is complete with coffee table books about fashion, photography, art, interior design, architecture, cooking, travel, and iconic figures. I am always growing my collection (I just snatched up Great Houses of the South & 100 Unforgettable Dresses) and expanding it to flow along with my evolving taste. Below are a few of the coffee table books I'm currently coveting... I must complete my Gypset set (I already have Gypset Style)!

P.S. a coffee table book hunting hint: if you see a book in a store you must have, first check the Amazon price because it is usually cheaper!

I'm buzzing about my new apartment so I'm gathering decorating inspiration from these unique counter spaces. They each bring a little something different to the space and reveal a lot about what the rest of the room must be decorated like.
