Hump Day Spotlight: From the Right Bank

Happy Hump Day everyone! Most of you probably know and already adore this week's "spotlight" but if for some reasonyou've been in the dark, allow me to show you the white (I mean light.)

From the Right Bank to the Left Coast is authored by Alek, a person who likes to move around and who's lived in "over a dozen cities and at least two dozen apartment/flats/houses." She recently made the move from Paris to the Pacific Northwest and her blog is pure, unaltered interior design goodness.
Alek is also the creator of the popular challenge I'm sure you've all seen, "What's your style in one picture?" I encourage you to check out this latest challenge and participate because it's fun and I'll be posting my most recent favorite room soon.
I'm going to stop blabbering now, here's how Alek answered my three questions:

Describe yourself in three words...
Curious, impressionable and optimistic.

If you can redo your whole house in a different "style" then it currently is right now, what would it be and why? No constraints on money whatsoever.
Right now I'm obsessed with all white Scandinavian interiors. I'd want everything white: walls, floors, furniture, rugs...I live in a contemporary house and I think it could totally rock a mix of all white modern pieces with just pops of color thrown in.

How do you define success? I know this is broad, but you can answer it from a career, blogging, lifestyle stand point. However you want.
This is a tough one! But this quote by Christopher Morely has always stuck with me: "There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way." It may seem cliche but I really do thing that's it in a nutshell. And I should know because I'm getting odler and wiser by the minute. Ha! Well, the older part is true anyway. Knowing what makes you happy and fulfilled in life and then having the luxury to be able to live that out - what more can any of us ask?

I gave Alek a couple of harder questions because I knew she'd handle them gracefully and that's exactly what she's done. Anyway you may recognize some of Alek's own home from around the web as it's friggin GORGEOUS. One time, I actually posted a picture of Alek's home unknowingly and was quite embrassed when she left a comment saying, "that's my house."
This is Alek's bedroom...looks like something out of a magazine, right?
Sorry Alek, I hope I'm not embarrassing you, but seriously will you come decorate my house if I ever get around to purchasing one?

Alek and I have a little collaboration coming up shortly entitled "Orange Crush" (I'll give you two guesses as to what the topic is). Oh, and don't forget to say "hi" to Alek over at From the Right Bank. Have a fantastic Hump Day!
