~ Doll House ~

"A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”

I have recently moved into my very own apartment! I've never lived alone before so this will be my first experience of decorating a home based on my own personal taste! I love homes filled with personality and unique design!


Doll decoration time girls hehe!

The pad is a great blank canvas which allows me to completely transform each room to reflect a fun modern living space with a hint of old hollywood glamour.
The great thing about interior design is that you can be really creative and still achieve a luxurious look on a budget!
My vision is to create a warm inviting home filled with character and taste! A theatrical dream pad..
My goal is to bring these bare walls to life with bright colors.. dramatic interior and of course lots of glamour.
I have a tiny spare room too so I have decided to design a signature dress up heaven..eek can't wait!!
My main inspiration was of course Retro Barbie..think Sex and the City meets Breakfast at Tiffany's :-) i love the damask print wallpaper with hot pink fabrics..daring yet still feminine. Each room will have a hint of old Hollywood sophistication laced with 1940's Pin up Doll glamour...
To achieve this look I'm planning on blending the colors grey..hot pink..white..black..and silver...

I adore the work of interior designer Jonathan Adler..his interior designs are so original.. He always creates such seductively stylish spaces!

Check out some of his Barbie dream inspired looks!

I will post the before and after of my home very soon!

I want to stand out as HEPBURN in a HILTON world! Think more Vander-camp and a little less Vander-tramp!
Dubai Dolls is my way of sharing my passion for fashion..illustrating how to translate high price runway looks on a budget! I plan to zero in on the must-have accessories and wardrobe staples for all occasions... share tips on how to decorate your home..post book/movie reviews..and much more!

I am truly inspired by words of wisdom and find uplifting quotes, poetry and self help advice really does help to deal with challenges of life in Dubai..
