I just love the variety, the patterns, the colors, you name it.. but what I think I like most is how although most of the rooms look like they have a lot going on it doesn’t feel like too much at all! Check out the website for more..

Stylish Blogger Award
January 7, 2011
Velvet Palette was recently nominated by Chanelle Louwen, the author of the wonderful Creative Colourful Musings of Life blog, for the Stylish Blogger Award. It’s a great honor and it truly means a lot to know that my little blog has provided inspiration and made it to someone’s favorites list. Following the 4 rules to accept this award…
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
Chanelle, thanks so a million for your kind words.. I enjoyed your lighthearted and very real and down to earth blog. Keep it up!
2. Share seven things about yourself.
The seven things I can think of right now:
– I’m addicted to shoes… super high heels more specifically!
– My next on the list (more of a crush than addiction) are cowhide rugs, red 1950s convertible Cadillacs with white interiors, ruffled dresses, big rings, and funnel cakes to name a few..
– I dream of living in an ocean-front glass house.. if that’s even at all feasible..
– Skydived once.. and would love to do it more.. and perhaps get certified someday. you never know..
– I’m a little claustrophobic, not a big fan of tiny sport cars no matter how fancy, I hate car park buildings and I just can’t help but lower my head every time I drive under one of those maximum height clearance bars.. I know I kinda look funny when I do that!
– I have a HUGE crush on George Clooney but I totally wouldn’t mind Gerard Butler, Dermot Mulroney, Ryan Gosling, or Ryan Reynolds really… i’m just sayin’ =)
– I prefer winter over summer..
3. Pay it forward to 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
Some of the blogs I find cool and inspiring:
– Haute Design: “an online library of accumulated inspiration, exploring that which is haute and beautifully designed. From incredible, sprawling countryside homes, to fashion design in Paris, to unique packaging, Haute Design aims to share and inspire creativity.”
– The Sartorialist: super cool street fashion digs from the fashion capitals of the world!

Filled with times for you
to indulge in your favorite desserts like there is no tomorrow!
to enjoy some all by yourself moments..
to drink out of your favorite mug..
to lose yourself with some good music
to dance like a child
to breathe in fresh air and appreciate the unlimited possibilities..
to take that time off
to walk in you favorite heels..
to take that road trip in style..
and if lucky enough end up Paris
to find your other half if you haven’t already..
and perhaps even add little version of..
May this year be filled with new beginnings
may it be your best year ever..
I know I’m a few days behind the crowd but hey we have the whole year ahead of us… Happy new year!
Jingle bells jingle bells..
