When I moved into my house, the previous owner had done a lot of upgrades and lucky me, very much to my taste. The only room the previous owners did not give any love to is our powder room. That being said, I have done a lot of my own design upgrades to compliment my taste but the powder room was left in the dust by me as well. Between budgeting, designing, and simply sourcing what you have in mind for your home, it can take a lot of time. So after many years of living in our new...

King of Christmas x Parisa Kaprealian
October 8, 2024I have always wanted to splurge on an artificial flocked Christmas tree from King of Christmas and here we are friends – a dream collaboration with the best of the best for artificial Christmas trees. I chose the 7.5’ King Flock with 800 Warm White LED Lights. I loved how easy it was to setup particularly because there was no need to plug in each section for the lights. The tree has an easy-connect system already installed so all you have to do is plug the cord into the wall to light up the tree. The heavy flocking is...

Celine’s {Tea for Two} 2nd Birthday
July 7, 2024I had the delight of designing another exquisite birthday celebration for one of my cherished families in my beautiful circle of clients and friends. With a plethora of delicate and feminine accents, this party showcased classic bow details throughout, elegant in their abundance and timely in this bow trend. Some of my other favorite details are the gorgeous shades of mauve, the floral motifs throughout our linens and the delicate faux so pretty tea party pastries for the kids table. Crafted with much love, I hope that you feel inspired by all the pretty attention to detail. Thank you...

Tahcheen Ba Morgh {Crispy Saffron Rice & Chicken Casserole}
July 4, 2024Tahcheen ba morgh is an Iranian dish consisting of layers of saffron rice mixed with yogurt, eggs, and chicken, all baked together in a pan or glass casserole dish until crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It is often prettified with barberries, almonds or pistachios for added flavor and texture. In the Persian language, “tahcheen” translates to “arranged on the bottom” and refers to the layering process of assembling this dynamite dish. Tahcheen can be cooked in a pot on the stove but I prefer to use a deep glass casserole dish because I prefer to...

Al fresco dining
June 26, 2024Summer is here and one of my favorite things to do is dine al fresco at home. I recently added another high-end and timeless tableware collection from Vista Alegre that can truly elevate any occasion around the dining table. I am going to be pulling out this tableware collection all summer because it’s pretty, practical and matches my outdoor aesthetic so perfectly. My favorite detail about this tabletop design is the floral arrangements I made using a platter as a base for the flowers. I used a mix of faux and fresh florals mixed with green grapes, green apples...

Persian New Year {Norooz} 1403
March 18, 2024Celebrating Norooz {Persian New Year} is more and more fun for me to celebrate as my children are getting older. They are whole heartedly so into all of our 3000 year old ancient traditions and it really makes me so proud to see them appreciate the culture my parent’s have passed down to us. This year I went for a fresh and modern design, mixing traditional pieces of decor for that extra Persian flare. If you are unfamiliar with Norooz {Persian New Year}, Norooz in its literal translation means New Day – “No” means New and “Rooz” means Day....

Winter Wonderland Birthday Party
December 28, 2023My beautiful client had always dreamed of doing a Winter Wonderland party for her girls and here we are my friends, we finally did it! No detail is too small and we definitely didn’t leave anything out on this one. We pulled off an all pink, mommy and mini party full of oh-so-many winter details that will keep you here for a while. I used a soft palette of pinks, whites, silver and some pops of red in between. I designed the backdrop to match the kids plates and it is one of my favorite customizations of this party....

Pretty Please Christmas 2023
December 5, 2023I hopped on my pinterest to find some Christmas inspiration this year and I saw a tree decorated from last year done at The Nomad Hotel in London. This tree instantly made my eyes see hearts. I knew I had to recreate my own version of it. It’s traditional and unique. It’s simple yet makes a statement. I just love the organic ornament clusters and the floating candles. Everything I used and a little more is linked below. Happy Holidays from my home to yours.

Vista Alegre x Oscar De La Renta
December 3, 2023A couple of years ago I started a new collection of beautiful tableware from Vista Alegre and I have used my homeware collection extensively because of how versatile the pieces are. I recently added more to my collection and I’m particularly in love with the Coralina collection which is a tableware collaboration between Vista Alegre and Oscar De La Renta. The floral motifs in the Coralina collection are inspired by a dress created for Vogue magazine by Oscar De La Renta (September 2006). The blend of colors in the Coralina collection complement my Terrace set so well that I...
