Edmonton Interior Decorator | All Aboard | Nautical Style Decor
I don't know if it's the rainy weather, but I've got the ocean on my mind. When I think of nautical inspired decor, immediately the classic combo of navy blue & white comes to mind. Then you add in wonderful rope accents, porthole mirrors, stripes, canvas and brass. All aboard the "I Love It Boat"!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Get the Look for Less | Nautical Mile
You see an amazing photo in a decorating magazine and you ask yourself, "How can I get that look? And how can I get it for less?"
Here's the inspiration: a chic, Hollywood Regency inspired navy and white living room. When I first started to source this look, I found the lamps...at a price tag of $3500 each! I knew this was going to be a pricey room.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Decor Trends | Fabric Patterns
I'm a design junkie. Plain and simple. But there's nothing simple about the style I love. My favourite things to play with are pattern and colour. But, they don't have to be wild and crazy. A seasoned decorator is able to balance colour and pattern to create harmonious designs.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Designer Spotlight | Mary McDonald
If you've ever watched the over-the-top Bravo series Million Dollar Decorators, you're familiar with the dynamo that is Mary McDonald. She's a very memorable character with equally memorable style. If I were to compare my design esthetic to anyone's, it would be Mary McDonald's. We share a fondness for: bold patterns, pops of colour, liberal use of black and white, combining different furniture styles, symmetry and elegance.
Take note of her signature touches including: chevron stripes, Greek key pattern, bolster pillows, Chinoiserie and glints of gold.
If this post left you wanting more, pick up one of Mary's most recent books.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Holiday Decorating
One of the things I love most about the holidays is the extra touches people put into their homes. I'm a sucker for the lure or twinkling lights, flickering flames and inviting doors.
If you want to dress up your home for the holidays, chances are you've got everything on hand to create your own custom decorations. Below are some great sources of inspiration. Enjoy!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Design Services | Professional Help
Professional help: we can all use a little of it every now and then. This photo is a perfect example of a well designed room. Note: the soothing colour palette; judicious use of pattern; excellent size and placement of furniture; coordinated window treatments; appropriate use of materials; and tasteful finishing touches.
There's things we can do on our own, and then there's times we must admit that we need professional help. However, not everyone is ready to admit they need assistance. Below is a frightful collection of design disasters. I warn you, what you are about to witness is not pretty...
Had these homeowners called Rachellabelle Interiors, these decorating tragedies could have been avoided. Are you ready for professional help?

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Home Storage & Organization
I have two confessions to make. One, I am a neat freak. Two, I absolutely LOVE Pinterest. I have come across so many amazing ideas since using the site, particularly in the way of storage and organization. The solutions are so ingeniously simply, it leaves me scratching my head and saying, "Now, why didn't I think of that?" Here are some of my favourite finds:
