Edmonton Interior Decorator | Moodboard | Aqua Ambition

Lady Gaga's outfit choices are a topic rarely left untouched. From prosciutto frocks to armadillo shoes, she has worn it all. This colour theory/mood board was inspired by "Mother Monster's" decidedly restrained ensemble she paraded at the 2011 Fashion Icon awards.

I love the bold combination of aqua and black. It brings to mind images of mythical creatures like mermaids and endless oceans. Like these two things, this combination can be both mysterious and moody.

If you feel like you've got "Aqua Ambition", this palette lends itself well to the contemporary and art deco periods alike.

So, I have to ask: Are you "gaga" for aqua and black?

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Beautiful Home Decor

Though most of this blog is dedicated to providing inspiration and ideas to the reader, this post is going to be completely self indulgent.

I came across this website, 1st Option and fell head over heels crazy in love with some of their homes. The looks run the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous. Enjoy!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Decor Trend | All White Rooms

White is to interiors what black is to fashion. It's ultimately versatile and makes a great base for a fabulous room. You start with some white hot furniture, add coloured walls, accessories and you've got a no fail recipe for dynamite decor.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Design Trend | Concrete Floors

Concrete floors have become more and more popular in homes over the past few years. Forget everything you think you know about the concrete floors you find in big box stores, and feast your eyes on these works of art. Besides their beauty, durability and customizable nature, concrete floors are a "green" choice for floors.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Design Trend | Painted Floors

If you are one of those people that believes wood, particularly wood floors, should NOT be painted, I ask that you look away now.

I think this post will speak to my love of painted floors. What a beautiful way to decorate a room.
