One of the most satisfying ways to a bespoke item is embellishing a pillow with ravishing trim details - @houles_official has so many elegant options to choose from the classically inspired Michael Aiduss Collection that are inspiring me. #michaelaiduss #quintessence #classicinteriordesign #bespokedesign #decorativepillows #custompillows #decorativetrim #mydesignvibe #doreenchambersinteriorsbeautiful #doreenchambersinteriorsfavorites

Such an elegant room elevated with sophisticated layers of color, pattern and texture - whitewashed walls and classic black millwork bring it all together ...

Recently there have been several deaths of notable figures I would consider influencing some aspect of my life be it in the arts, design, or civil rights ... it got me thinking about of them all who has influenced me most ... my earliest and most enduring influence has been Emma Peel... she made such an impression and I was totally captivated as a young child ... a classic beauty with charm, elegance, a dry wit, independence, a whiz with a gun and sword and fabulous style - has anyone ever worn a catsuit better?? Mrs Peel and John Steed were partners and he played the gallant gentleman with aplomb ... Diana Rigg was a highly accomplished actress both on film and stage, but I’ll always remember her as Emma Peel💙🙏🏽 ... #onhermajestyssecretservice theavengers #royalshakespearecompany #gameofthrones #jamesbond #dame #emmapeel #inspiration #inspiringwomen #classicbeauty
