Glamour Friday: Chic Living Room
October 7, 2011
Glamour Fridays are back!!! I don’t know about you, but I certainly missed researching and writing these posts about glamorous rooms. Because here on the Glam Blog – it is all about adding glamour into your home!!
This living room is a GLAM SLAM for so many reasons:
-
Gorgeous blue tufted sofa with gold accent via the cushions
-
The zebra rug — hello, everyone needs some zebra or animal print in their home!
-
Black painted fireplace — how dramatic is that? Love, love, love it!!
-
Grey painted walls that act as the perfect neutral background for all the exciting furniture and accessories
-
Gorgeous brass lamps with black lampshades
-
Stunning silk drapery framing the large windows
-
The fantastic tub chairs wrapped in that beautiful chinoiserie fabric
-
And last, the lovely glass coffee table.
What do you think? GLAM SLAM or total SHAM? Have a great weekend!!
Glamorously yours,
Christine xoxo

Glamour Good Friday: How to Create the Hollywood Regency Look in Your Home!
April 22, 2011
Erin McLaughlin, Editor-in-Chief of Style at Home has named three of the big design trends that are popping up in the industry this spring and Style at Home has been kind enough to share them with me.
Trend 1: Hollywood Regency
Trend 2: Bold 80’s Colour
Trend 3: Diminutive Plants
And now I want to share my most favourite of the 3 trends mentioned in Erin’s Style at Home Spring Trend Report: “Hollywood Regency.” If you’ve been reading my blog for a while or follow me on Twitter than you know that was a pretty obvious choice!
The photo below of a very glamorous boudoir from Style at Home’s very popular High/Low feature highlights glamour in all its glory!! Oh yes….it is a GLAM SLAM!!
So here are some key ingredients to creating Hollywood Regency glamour in your home:
- Elaborate chandeliers
- Mirrored surfaces
- Lots of Lacquer
- Luxurious velvets
I’m also crushing on the panelled walls…..what an economical approach to add architectural detail to any plain square room!
Oh, and one last item that is a big MUST in any glamorous room!! Books – Fashion books in particular are also a stylish source of inspiration and you know how I truly believe that you should decorate as you dress.

Glamour Friday: A sexy & glamorous bedroom = GLAM SLAM!!
March 11, 2011
Happy Friday!! Thought I would show off a gorgeous cozy bedroom this week since it’s been a combination of snow and rain all this week. Brrrrrrrr!!! 
This beautiful bedroom is from the latest issue of Lonny Magazine. “A bedroom should be all about comfort, sexiness and glamour” say the designers of this room…and I couldn’t agree more
I’m loving the grey grasscloth wallpaper that adds such a lovely warm sheen to the walls. And then of course the focal point of the room is the very sexy and curvy custom made headboard with nail head detailing. Now that is yummy!!
The glamorous silver lamps with chocolate shades and the Greek- key custom night tables make this room a definite GLAM SLAM!! What do you think?
If your home is craving some glamour, then contact me online or in person! I’d love to help!
Glamorously yours,

P.S. Have a great weekend. Don’t forget to put your clocks one hour ahead on Sunday AND please say a prayer for the victims and their families of the Tsunami in Japan.

Glamour Friday: The Dark Bedroom!
March 6, 2011
Oh la la!! Are you afraid of the dark!? If not, then you are going to want to dial up the Glam volume all the way to BLACK for this bedroom!! Wow, when I saw this bedroom my heart flip-flopped and my glam-meter went off the charts!! 
This room has all the ingredients of a GLAM SLAM!!
Bold, patterned wallpaper
Huge dramatic chandelier
Mirrored End tables
Large headboard to create the focal point of the room
Opulent lamps
2 Zebra print stools at the foot of the bed – and you know how much I love animal print!! Every room should have some animal print in it.
Luxurious drapery
Gorgeous shag area rug to keep your toes toasty after getting out of bed
A jolt of colour through accessories – in this case via red cushions
Dark rooms are very glamorous and definitely full of drama and mystery. Would you ever do an all black room in your home? Leave me a comment and let me know!!

Glamorously yours,

Glamour Friday: Dita Von Teese at Home
January 21, 2011
The latest issue of InStyle Magazine features Burlesque Showgirl Dita Von Teese in her home devoted to vintage glamour. And WOW, is it ever. She’s obsessed with flamboyant walls (flocked velvet wallpaper junkies will be excited), taxidermy (!), ornate lighting and art deco furniture.
Her silver silk headboard is a major GLAM SLAM!!! But I am definitely ooohhhhhhing and aaaahhhhing over Dita’s dressing room with an original mirrored vanity from the 1940’s while everything else in the room is brand new. I love mixing old and new pieces together as it gives a room so much more substance and style.
Vintage car and art deco furniture in the living room – BUT I’m not going to discuss the stuffed monkey – apparently all her animals died of natural causes (thank god!).
And how adorable is her pink kitchen with the checkerboard flooring
Glamour is definitely contagious. If your home is craving some glamour, then contact me online or in person! I’d love to help!
Glamorously yours,
Christine
