Hi, friends! How is your weekend going? Hope is not flying by so fast! Now I would like to ask all vintage lovers who are reading my blog: have you visited Oh, hello friend‘s Etsy shop?! Right – that one, so so full of vintage jewelry and stuff like this? If you didn’t, please head immediately over there and get your dose of vintage, with a bit of antique :)
Now since spring has come we all have the huge wish to be outside as much as we can, enjoying the sun and the spring/summer breeze. And believe me, these moments I want so badly to live in a house with a backyard, to decorate it in my favorite style (or styles) and just don’t move from there :). Aw people, you have no idea how much I LOVE sun and outdoor living. Here is something to get inspired of:
Recently I stumbled upon an Etsy shop which took my heart immediately. It’s called The love shop and you can find there lots of printed quotes or simply nice words. All of them come in different colors and would be a great detail to any interior!
P.S. My favorites are some French love prints, they’re so full of Paris! Happy Friday!
Another home which I truly like and day dream about belongs to Janell Beals, author of Isabella and Max rooms, who was really nice to allow me blog about her great DIY-ed home. The thing is that the very talented Janell designs her home according to her family members’ needs. For example, after having an interview with her son (how cute is that?), Janell understood what does he want and guess what, the little man now has a chalkboard stripe on the walls so he can write there and a huge painted map (which is still in process of being done). Are you intrigued? Here it is:
Have you got to see real gypsies? But I mean real-real ones, forever travelers and people whose life is in a permanent movement from country to country aka nomadic people. I didn’t see them for real, but I saw quite good improvisations of gypsies (in some movies, hehe). I bet some of you did see them, another ones didn’t, but one thing is clear – we all know what is a bohemian style and that it actually came from gypsies (it was their lifestyle). So let me tell you one thing: this style is so gorgeous, the colors can drive somebody insane and I can easily get lost in the beauty and wildness of all the color combos and patterns. In my future home, one room will be decorated in bohemian style and that’s a decision! :)
The wedding I’m gonna show all of you now it’s probably the cutest and the most stylish from all I’ve ever seen! That’s right, it’s that (!) gorgeous! Being in black+white already makes it so glamorous and it really is, the perfect word: glamorous! I am amazed and I’m a complete fan of it now.
Hello and once again Happy St. Patrick’s day! The biggest excitement that I felt today about St. Patrick’s day is dedicating a whole post to green color as this is the color of the holiday! And one more reason why St. Patrick’s day gives me butterflies when I think of it is the following saying: “St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time – a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.” by Adrienne Cook. Did you read it? Transforming winter into the summer! Hello! I couldn’t feel happier after I read this! Welcome, St. Patrick!
Just imagine having a warm, comfy home somewhere between woods, hear the birds singing all day long and enjoy what our mother-nature is giving to us. Sounds attracting, doesn’t it? Now for real, I would like to have a home decorated in rustic style, but the most important is to have a fireplace to warm me up during cold winter days. Yeap, that is my dream home (second home, after having an urban one). These are the pictures that inspired me for my dream:
Lately, I’m loving this combination more than any other. It has its charm and it just attracts me a lot! I would use the combo to paint my baby girl’s room and fill it with lots of little pink+brown details. Or maybe a living room. How would it be? Here are some images to get inspired of:
I was always wondering myself why do very talented people prefer to keep their gorgeous works for themselves?! I know couple of them who are doing exactly this: one friend who’s building real ships on a smaller scale (see here), my MIL who is doing amazing hand embroidery just for pleasure (see here) and now one more great talented person, my SIL who’s enjoying a lot glass and wall painting! Just imagine this, handmade glass painting (!), how hard this should be? I want everybody to know about her incredible works, so here they are:
