I get that question alot because I have really dark hair, olive skin, and brown eyes. No, people I'm scandinavian/welsh. But, usually my answer is, "I wish!" You know why?....I'll tell you. Because Italians do it right. Whether its food, style, furniture, architecture, you name it, it's just right! I think because I'm so often asked if I'm Italian, I have a small obsession with them (Along with France, chocolate, exercising, clothes, and interior design, to name a few). Savio Firmino is an Italian designer that uses ornate pieces and glorious mirrors!
Did I not say glorious mirrors! I'm telling you, I CANNOT get enough of these. Oh and the chandeliers are striking.

I definitely respect his ability to balance the feminine and the masculine parts of his design. It's all so elegant but, functional as well.

Oooh, I love these spaces!!! Thanks for sharing them! I totally agree with you, Italians do it right (funny cause I've been asked if I am Italian before as well - I'm Egyptian)! I just posted photos from a lovely Italian furniture company today, the comapny is called B&B Italia. I swoon!!
I get the comment "You must be Irish" A LOT ... it's the red hair. They are usually surprised when I respond saying that I am German & British.
OK, so that first image you have (the white bedroom with the chandelier), makes me what to redo my room.
