Sabrina Linn

I had blogged about the second row right image before and was delighted to stumbled upon more of this Sabrina Linn-designed penthouse. Isn't it stunning? 
{I love the neutral scheme of this living area. The combination of orange velvet and white upholstery is unexpectedly chic, but it's the large abstract art that steals the show.}
{How opulent is this workspace? I can only imagine looking out onto that kind of view in between blog posts!}
{A round mirror is an unexpected alternative over the bathroom sink. I adore the oversized idea board in what looks to be the foyer, proving that inspiration is indeed everywhere!}

P.S. Luxury Monograms giveaway happening here!

$75 Luxury Monograms Giveaway!

I am inspired to share my friend Melanie's new business venture, Luxury Monograms. Frustrated by the lack of personalized fashion for the home, Melanie started her own business selling monogrammed pillows, placemats, napkins, and bags. 
In addition to feeling inspired by Melanie's entrepreneurial example, what I love about Luxury Monograms is that you pick the pattern, the monogram (choosing from 12 styles), and the thread color (choosing from 24 colors). Ultimate creative control? I'm in!

Melanie recently teamed up with my friend Ashlina from The Decorista to style her photo shoot. I think the results are pretty fantastic, don't you?

I love the playful, preppy vibe of her products. Why not let orange Greek key, hot pink chevron, or purple suzani set the tone for your next soirée?

Melanie is graciously extending a $75 gift card to one Design Darling reader. To enter, please follow Design Darling, like Luxury Monograms on Facebook, and leave a comment letting me know one of your favorite items from her shop.

I'll be drawing the winner at random on Friday morning. Thank you to Melanie and good luck to all of you!

Happy Birthday.

Happy 22nd birthday to my boyfriend Michael.

I know you don't make as many Design Darling cameos as you might like but I figured today we could make an exception. Thank you for being such a happy part of my four years at Bucknell. Whether we're dressed up as 1920s gangsters for Halloween or ATVing in the Greek islands during our semester abroad, I've had the time of my life. You are funny and quirky and wonderful and I love you. Happy happy birthday!
