Style Maker

San Mateo, CA., Design Consultant, Delores Arabian is a woman of great style. Selecting only five images to share was not a easy feat. The Arabian's have two homes, both are wonderfully decorated, filled with the many things that Delores collects. So be sure to check it out for yourself at her lovely blog, "Vignette Design" http://vignettedesign.blogspot.com/ You will not be disappointed.

Delores also shares her passion for gardening . . . I think you will agree that it shows . Her properties are a "little bit of heaven". Look at this view, I could gaze out at that forever.


She is always making changes and shares these on her blog. This great light fixture was one of her latest, isn't it a beauty?

And can she ever set a table . . . I can see this image in a magazine. I love the mis-matched chairs too.



This was the photo that got my attention. I knew that anyone that could mix patterns like this gal was someone to watch ! I have come to know, that wherever Delores goes, the magic follows . . .

    Vicky I just read your comment on my blog. I am laughing so hard. You know I don't like orange!!!lol, Would you believe I even debated with the orange in the round pillow, bought it anyhow and I am choosing to ignore that there is even any orange in there. You made my day. I just came in from planting out front and thought I would check my emails. I needed a good dose of laughter to go with my sunshine, Thankyou, dear friend, Kathysue

    L-o-v-l-eeeeee homes!!!!! Her assortment of chandeliers are delightful. -Brenda-

    P.S. There is a rumour going around Blogland
    saying, 'you told someone to paint a room
    orange'. Shame on you! :)

    * Vicky~ That's one of the most charming, welcoming & oh-so-relaxing living rooms I've seen in AGES ~ it actually LOOKS likes it really IS meant for "living n' enjoying", and I just absolutely L*O*V*E it!!! (And what I APPRCIATE & ADMIRE MOST is the LACK OF PRETENSION, which is always a goal for me, and so hard to achieve!)...

    And those VIEWS??? Well, what can one say other than BREATHTAKING!!!

    THANKS soooo much for finding & sharing~~~ am off now to look at more info on her, her other home & gloriously, self-assured relaxing taste/style! Now THIS is a gal to emulate!

    Such a lovely way to start the day! THANKS AGAIN!!!

    Love,
