Farah Merhi launched Inspire Me! Home Decor in 2012 as a creative outlet during a transitional time in her life. Farah was about to graduate college and planned to attend law school.

Farah knew she had found her passion and calling, and was determined to inspire home owners to live their best lives in their homes.Farah believes that taking care of your home is essential to your peace of mind. Her design style is elegant and glamorous but infused with warmth and coziness, creating a welcoming feel with neutral color palletes, soft and inviting fabrics, and exquisite design details that can work in any room. She believes you can make a statement without sacrificing an inviting feel to your rooms. There is no right and wrong when it comes to designing your home and Farah encourages you to focus on the overall look and feel you desire, and her tips and advice will help guide you through the process.Starting with her most frequently asked questions about paint color versus wallpaper, lighting and rugs, home organization, and of course styling, Farah walks you through every room in the house from the mudroom to the kitchen and kids’ bedrooms. Along the way, she includes quick seasonal updates on a budget, suggested routines for maintaining your space, and her unique reward system, which includes small styling vignettes around your home.Woven throughout are Farah’s personal stories that will feel like you’re getting design advice from a close friend. Everyone deserves to walk into a beautifully decorated home every day—now you can, with the inspiration and practical tips in Inspire Your Home.

Venezia è un pesce

Lifestyle & Home

Venezia è uno strano modo di stare al mondo, ancora prima di essere una città anomala ed enigmatica. Questa realtà urbanistica così bizzarra è in verità una strategia per inventare da capo l’esistenza. Per capirla si deve toccarla, annusarla, sentirla con tutti gli organi. Ciascun organo del corpo e dell’anima la vive secondo la sua attitudine, ne è abbagliato, contrariato, disorientato o assuefatto. Bisogna ascoltarli tutti. A vent’anni dalla prima edizione, questo classico si rinnova, perché nel frattempo nuovi tragitti dei sensi sono divenuti possibili. Dai livelli eccezionali dell’acqua alta che ha sommerso quasi tutta la superficie della città all’acqua deserta e trasparente della quarantena, qualcosa si è trasformato ed esistono itinerari fisici, spirituali ed emotivi ancora da scoprire. Tiziano Scarpa ci fa strada attraverso le trame, le peripezie e le avventure sensitive e sentimentali che solo a Venezia possono accadere. I capitoli di questa guida ritornano ad ascoltare i piedi, le gambe, il cuore, le mani, il volto, le orecchie, la bocca, il naso e gli occhi e per la prima volta inseguono le sensazioni della pelle.
