Historical Mansions - Design Through the Ages

Wow! These gorgeous historical mansions are a great example of how design evolves through the years. Homes are built and designed so much differently nowadays, yet hold the same purpose and meaning to the people and families who inhabit them.  Many people may still enjoy this same style of design and decor as what was beautiful a hundred years ago, while others may opt for a much more clean, sleek and minimalist surrounding. Whether your taste is traditional and over the top or contemporary and streamline...you can't help but admit these homes are beyond beautiful and it is unfortunate that they stand empty today. What do you all think?! Would you like to live in a home like the ones in this article?!?!

Skyline Design in Miami!

One of my most recent projects is for a condo building on Miami's scenic shoreline. I wanted a contemporary, edgy, design with a neutral black and white palette combined with punches of aqua blue to reflect the gorgeous waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay! Sleek lines, along with chrome and "blingy" finishes create a funky vibe, perfect for any city dweller. Are you ready for some fun in the sun?!
