If you still didn’t hear about Leslie Shewring then you must be living on another Planet. Leslie is the famous color columnist on decor8 whose posts we breathlessly await every month, Leslie is an amazing artist and photographer, Leslie is the creative person behind this visual delight – A Creative Mint (which is a gem of a blog, by the way!). There is really no need to explain who is Leslie, right? She’s THE blogger we must know and look up to :). One thing I love about her blog is how well categorized are her posts, it’s so easy to browse when you have them organized by colors! Here are some of the too many pictures I wanted to share with you:
Decorate with Juju hats
Ever wanted to have a touch of extravaganza in your home? Perhaps a Mexican kilt to spice up your bedroom? Or an Arabian pillow or two, that will change your living room to core transforming it into a tale? Then a Juju hat is exactly what you need! I know this sounds very commercially, but believe me I’m just trying to suggest a way to freshen up your home without spending a fortune. A juju hat will make your living space look different, unique and not last, so much fun (if you have it in a bright, cheery color). Here are a few examples:
Orla Kiely – pattern crush
Who doesn’t love Orla Kiely and all those yummy patterns and colors? I sure do and have myself dreaming about those cushions and notebooks and even clothing (which is so vintage chic!). I highlighted a few favorite items, just in time for my Christmas wishlist. By the way, have you noticed how more and more Christmas-y posts are popping up? Well, that makes me think – isn’t that too early? I mean, there’s Thanksgiving ahead – do we really want to skip one month so we can be in December and celebrate winter holidays already? What do you think?
Simple living
Hello, sweet creamylifers! So sorry I haven’t posted anything the last couple days, it was one of those weeks, you know? So today, as a treat and a way to make it up to you, I have a post that shows so many things I adore: white done right, simple living, Scandinavian chicness, minimalist style with a wow-factor and more. Without any further ado, here’s a home I’m ready to move in right away!
Living room of the week
Loving this living room BIG TIME! The pastel, peony-pink drapes are beyond feminine and when combined with chocolate cushions and golden accents – you know you’re in for a treat! Such a living room can’t get anymore perfect, can it?!
Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend! xo

Mustard
Mustard is having its comeback this season and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I blogged about this color last year and my obsession with it didn’t fade remaining one of the most fall-friendly color crushes. The richness and heaviness of mustard make it a gorgeous alternative to traditional fall colors, a perfect compromise between yellow and brown and a warm stylish hue on its own. Mustard for him, for her and their home – what’s not to love?
Minimalism in the bedroom
Are you a minimalist lover or not? Or better to ask are you a clutter lover or not, especially when we speak about bedrooms? I think I’m a clutter hater no matter the room, but I guess I’m very minimalistic when it comes to bedrooms. I like clean lines, soothing colors, few to no accessories – just the serenity of the space.
So what do you say – yay or nay?
Madrid loft – European chicness
Happy Monday! For today I have prepared a home tour which shows off European chicness at its best. We all know that European homes are different than American or any other ones due to the influence of the culture, history and people’s personalities. So what you know as traditional American will be so different here in Europe and that’s the charm and advantage of living here – I get to see the European gorgeousness with my own eyes and believe it, this is priceless!
It’s Friday!!!
TGIF, right? Phew, that was rough week and I’m totally ecstatic it’s weekend and I’ll get to rest (feels like this week had the length of a month, no?). Anyways, I’m head over heels and I hope you feel the same!
How was your week? Any plans for the weekend?
