How sweet is this picture? My friend Nastya sent it over my way and I couldn’t resist, I needed to share it with you! You know how much I love flowers and colors! And then she told me that the image is related to Victoria’s Secret, how could I not show it to you?!
Hm, it’s so girly, so Victoria’s Secret, isn’t it? I hope you liked it!
Another guest post here on CreamyLife by the wonderful co-author of my blog (yeah, I can say that!) – Nastya! She also is the author of the first guest post, in case you missed it you can read it here. Today the very creative Nastya is inspired by rugs. Let’s take a look at what she says:
“Hello everyone!
It took time for me to reappear, but I’m extremely happy to share something that’s on my mind with you, dear Ludmila and Creamy Life readers! Lately there’s so much on the Internet about the rugs, especially those modern ones. As for me, I love rugs and consider them to be an important part of any interior. I just don’t imagine an apartment or a house without any rugs! It makes every room nicer and cozier, not to mention the fact that they provide warmth on a bare floor and help to reduce noise. So here are some of my favorite examples:
This is another must-have in my future home – fireplace. I definitely knew that fireplaces are modern and country, chic and cozy, but I didn’t think that the variety is that huge and that a modern fireplace can be so so fancy! I’m totally not up-to-date with fireplace design and my research now left me speechless. And no, modern fireplaces will not work for my future home, I prefer those country styled or even classic ones, that will provide warmth and fire (just how it’s meant to be!). And if you’re like me, take a deep breath and please take a look at what I’ve found.
Let’s have them categorized:
Classic fireplaces
Good morning, dears! It’s Friday!!! Crossing the line over this week, I can say it wasn’t *that* stress-free and exciting – I had some things not going so good, so I’m double happy it’s Friday today! I’ll start this amazing day (I hope) by introducing to all of you a wonderful photographer I spotted on Decor8 (soon-to-be my inspirational bible, ha!). Tara Donne is a great lady who actually doesn’t need any introduction. She worked for Domino, Real Simple and Martha Stewart and all said with this! Tara is shooting thing she likes, without any preferences or limits, so you can understand now that her portfolio is about people, food, places and of course interior (my favorite part). Please come along with me in enjoying her work:
Not much to say about the combination of red and white colors. The passion and light emanated by this combo speaks all by itself! And before red+white rooms seemed to me very fancy and luxurious and they really are, but guess what, I did find cute yet chic pictures of country spaces decorated with white and popping red accessories here and there! I like this idea more rather than painting the living room in red, for example :). That it’d be visually too exhausting. What’s your opinion about white and red? How do you think people should use this combo in their homes?
Hello everyone! Spring has finally settled down here, trees and flowers are blooming, so no surprise I’m in the flower-ish mood again! As I said, these days I see flowers everywhere, but this fact didn’t stop me to think how to bring and incorporate the floral pattern into a home. It’s definitely better and nicer to have fresh arrangements just in every corner of your home, but hey! more flowers – more romantic the atmosphere! And I always say that there are never too many flowers in a home, whether fresh or faux. So, I was ransacking today and found couple beautiful ways how to bring the florals in your space:
Wall decals – a modern way of decorating your home with flowers, without overwhelming it:
Interior designer Kelley Proxmire, owner of Kelley Interior Design was obsessed with all thing interior design since her early teen years. Her first meltdown was her parents’ living room that trapped her and converted interior design in a lifestyle. “When everyone else bought Seventeen, I was buying House Beautiful.” says Kelley and that’s what I call a passionate designer! Her love for colors and warm spaces guide her in creating beautiful rooms with popping bright colors, as well as elegant charming ones in black and white. Kelley’s portfolio is a great find for me as it contains lots of images of colorful homes and you know how I feel about bold colors, don’t you? *Remind to myself: a picture is worth a thousand words! Enough speaking!* Here are the images:

Hi, lovelies! How have you been? I missed you a lot, my Internet was down since yesterday, now it’s everything finally ok! First of all I want to say a huge thank you to Jasna Janekovic who sent me an extremely cute baby blue bag, which I got yesterday in my mail! Totally exciting to have a small piece of Jasna in my home, even more when it’s about a gorgeous bag that I can wear! Jasna also sent a very sweet postcard together with the bag, I melted! The present made my day and I couldn’t be happier, really! THANK YOU SO MUCH, JASNA! Here are some pictures:
I’ve been looking through Etsy recently for some inspiration and just beautiful handmade stuff when I spotted this seller! The Home Centric, all the way from India, a girl who calls design a lifestyle and who certainly lives through her work! Before starting her own business – making soft furnishing, Urvi was working for famous names such as Zara, Esprit, Bershka and others. And I could totally notice the tendency to design luxurious and chic pillows: flirty satin ruffles and ribbons, dazzling sequins and more – that’s what I call a fancy pillow! I took a look at all the items from Urvi’s Etsy shop and highlighted the most eye-catching and appealing to me:
Really, no joke! The Battery home is a beach house in Seasalter, which is a village on North Kent coast in UK. A BEACH HOUSE! I must confess seeing this home on Beach Bungalow8 made my day, it was always my dream to live on the beach or at least have a house on the beach and spend all my free time there. And the battery home might be the perfect image of that. Just imagine the view – you open the window and you see the ocean or a sea just so close to you! Totally relaxing feeling yet very inspiring! Some people say that for them looking at the fire, listening to the rain and so on are the best therapies, well for me seeing the infinity of the ocean makes me drown in and just forget about everything – only me and my creative mind!
