This past week seemed to just fly by in a flurry of weekend getaways, overseas house guests and explorations around our own city. In the midst of it all, I've continued been perusing all kinds of design magazines and favourite blogs looking for inspiration. Sometimes when you're surrounded by beautiful design, you reach a point of feeling a little jaded, or that you've almost seen it all, and become a pretty difficult customer to please. If you're lucky though, sooner or later you'll come across a space that just feels refreshing and gets your creative juices flowing again.

 Jacqui Getty's Hollywood home was just that space for me. Classic, elegant furnishings and shots of bright magenta and fuchsia - one of my very favourite colours - as accents throughout the space. What really makes the space come alive are all the personal touches and personal photographs throughout. It makes the space feel like it's filled with happy memories and lots of personality. I'd been staring rather blankly at the different corners of my own home, knowing it needed a little (or alot) of refreshing, but not quite sure where to start, this home got me feeling inspired again. I can't wait to put some of these ideas into action! 

The Mediterranean style home was a gift to Jacqui from Francis Ford Coppola, who is her daughter Gia's grandfather.
